With reference to Jay Clifton's comments regarding Mr Grim Citizen and boisterous fun on Hove seafront (Letters, June 19), may I congratulate him on his immense common sense and balance.

More regulation proposed by Mr Grim Citizen will never solve any problem an increase in tolerance and manners would help more, as Jay Clifton suggests.

To attempt to portray boisterous behaviour as criminal is morally criminal in itself.

It is a sheer pleasure, particularly on these pleasant warm days, to see people of all ages and origins enjoying themselves.

Long may the students continue what has become an established part of the Hove seafront scene. Nor is there any reason, with proper restraint and due care shown by all, that cycles and pedestrians cannot share the seafront.
