Resubmission of the Marina Tower

[Lady Whistledown]

Not forgetting....

Dear Argus

I lived in Brighton from June 1931 to August 1932. During this time, I had the good fortune to become friends with a splendid chap named Arthur. He had brown hair.

Sadly we lost touch when I was sent to Australia with several other convicts. I wonder if any Argus readers know of Arthur, or would be able to tell me where he might be? He would be about 80 now. I do not know if he still has brown hair.

Yours

Looks like a great development to me.

That and the proposed new arena at Black Rock would be great assets to the city.

Dear Editor,

I wish Brighton and Hove Council would reconsider their decision to blight the city with wheelie bins. We have a beautiful city and the architects of the golden age will be turning in their graves, as we turn into a city covered in these monstrous green plastic anomolies.

Yours faithfully,

Richard Head.

"wheelie bins are ok for poor people, as they have to have somewhere to store their empty Sunny Delight cartons and Cheese String wrappers, and they all live in ugly areas anyway, but I feel strongly that in more salubrious districts such as Westdene, the refuse collectors should be forced to hike up 50 steps to our garages so that we do not have to spoil the look of our neighbourhood for two hours a week with large green receptacles"

So true! I am sure you must create the letters page everyday, Edna!

No, but I do like to read it each day, if only to feel good about myself and my life compared to some of the goons who write in

Pick one answer:
1) The people that write letters to local newspapers are just dull, old and full of shit.
2) The people that write letters to local newspapers come across as being dull, old and full of shit, partly because they can't write very well, partly because their letters get badly chopped down by editors, which makes the writers look like simpletons.
Which is it? There's got to be more than a hint of 2) about it as well, to be fair.

Dear editor

A streetlight in my road has been slightly dim for THREE days now. How typical of Brighton & Hove City Council to neglect its residents in such a heartless way. I and countless others pay our taxes faithfully, and for what? Such blatant negligence can only serve to increase the likelihood of serious crime being committed all the time the light remains a fraction below its usual standard of brightness. But I don't suppose the police will care anyway, they're too busy issuing speeding tickets. Moan moan moan, whinge, whine, mither

Indeed. I've got to say Edna I love your posts. If I was single, 20 years younger and considerably better-looking I'd ask you to marry me, I do like an erudite woman with a sense of humor.
