Blimey, this woman knows how to complain..... and speak for the majority of Brighton and Hove residents.


Falmer first incase some missed it

Ian Slater (Letters, October 3) might do well to remember that the majority of people who voted "yes" for a stadium at Falmer in the ballot he quotes were a small proportion of the residents of Brighton and Hove.

Those who didn't want a stadium at all were not even given a chance to vote on this ludicrous plan to build a stadium for a tuppenny ha'penny team which struggles to stay where it is, let alone rise up the league.

If they had been given a chance to vote, I am sure a resounding "no" would have been delivered.

If anything should be built on this site, it should be housing, a commodity this city needs far more than a stadium which will be under-used (by Mr Slater's own admission) and which, ultimately, the residents, via Brighton and Hove City Council, will ultimately pay for because this team hasn't got two ha'pennies to rub together and never will.


Now for Fat Boy Slims party on the beach

Don't thank us. Most people in Brighton wanted nothing to do with it, traders say though they made money they don't want it back and the police had only 50 officers for the event, all of whom had to turn their backs on the resulting crime wave and deal with people who needed rescuing in one form or another.
There was a near-total breakdown of civil authority in the city. If the criminals in the crowd had but realised it, they could have overrun the city.
I am sick and tired of hearing how Fatboy Slim has paid for the event. The only people who will be poorer for the event will be the people of Brighton, whose taxes will go to the clean up, and for your information, the beach will not be safe for months to come, which won't do the tourist trade much good.
Do us all a big favour, stay away, go somewhere else, annoy the people there.
Angela Rowland, Brighton

She's nothing to do with us. :eek: :eek:

Baggage is the word to use (or your own variation)

This is a made-up letter, surely? I mean made up by someone on here...?

Oh Ok, here is the one about little dogs picking on Germa Shepards and rightly got ripped to bits.

First published on Saturday 21 September 2002:
Don't assume little dogs aren't vicious
After reading the piece on the "attack" by a German shepherd dog on a terrier (September 18), I was not sure who attacked who.

The piece stated that Peter Rough let his dogs out of his car and had his back turned to get their lead. Why were his dogs allowed out of the car without being under control?

That act alone would probably have prevented the problem before it became one.

Mr Rough also states he heard his dog bark, then screech, and then he turned around. So how does he know his dog was not contributory to the incident?

There was, apparently, no noise from the German shepherd dog. So what started the incident?

Voice of The Argus stated Mr and Mrs Rough were walking their dogs but, according to the report, they were not, having only just arrived.

At that moment, their dogs were as out of control as the German shepherd dog may have been.

The Voice also stated this savage attacker was no match for a tenacious Jack Russell. What is the reasoning behind that?

A few years ago, my three-year-old dobermann was playing with a Great Dane when she was bitten, for absolutely no reason, by a corgi.

The hole left in her gut was big enough to put three fingers in. That little dog cost me a lot of grief and £250 in emergency vet's bills.

The corgi was traced to a local owner, who showed absolutely no concern over the actions of his dog. From then on, my dobermann was nervous of all little dogs.

If you take a poll of big-dog owners, they will tell you the animals they worry most about are these so-called innocent little dogs that would not harm a fly.

I cannot comment on the behaviour of the owner of the German shepherd dog.

Maybe he could not have cared less - some people are like that.

Maybe he genuinely did not know or maybe he was sorely fed up with his dog being harried by these little dogs who are so clever they do not need to be on a lead before they get out of the car.

I would also like to know whether these two terriers are restrained during car journeys or whether they are allowed the run of the car.

Owners of dogs of all sizes are urged by the RSPCA to use proper restraints to ensure their dogs are safe while in transit.

Gotta say, I agree with her on that one.

My ex owns a German Shepherd, and keeps it on the lead when walking when other dogs are around (that aren't). If another dog comes up to it, trys any thing and gets bitten, it's not her fault as her dog is under control and on the lead.

Yoda, with her it is not the message, it seems that in everything she writes, she speaks for the Majority, with a knowledge of all things. I don't what happened between the dogs, and honestly don't care.....
