David Broughton's letter was most offensive, not to mention incorrect, about the September 11 act.

It was not legal or lawful by whatever code of practice. I feel his words "the infantile fuss" should refer to the way Firle has been treated by those who neither understand bonfire in Sussex nor the pestilence of wastrels known as "travellers" which excludes the genuine Romany/Gipsy fraternity.
