Alan York, from Burgess Hill, thanks us for our "excellent" 100 things to do with your kids magazine, which came free with The Argus on July 18.

However, he was not so happy about our recommendation for the duck pond at Falmer.

Alan explains: "We arrived with two excited children, full of high expectation about the good works they would soon be doing for the ducks and fishy residents of the pond.

"Alas, disaster - the pond had been dry for almost three months, the ducks were marooned on the island and there were notices around the pond asking that no food be given to the ducks due to rat poison being put down to the combat the invasion of rats.

"I had two cheesed off kids and a mountain of bread left over. This was obviously a small aberration but can we always believe the veracity of the facts in your other, more important stories?"

Hopefully you can, Alan, although I have to point out another error in the magazine courtesy of Richard Turk, from Lewes, who spotted an advert for the Rainbow Inn at Cooksbridge, which we spelled as Cocksbridge. A cock-up obviously.

While on the subject of eating out, Tony Booker points out that our review of The Terraces Bar and Grill in Madeira Drive, Brighton, in If It's On... last Friday referred to a ribeye steak as ribeyed.

He adds: "I don't suppose you get time to scan you 'for sale' items but much joy can be gained therein (I know you must print as submitted).

"The prize (again last Friday) must go to the individual who advertised a Stiff bear. He (the Steiff bear) should be so lucky!"

Michelle Coldwell-Simons was "appalled" that we devoted the best part of a page on July 20 to a security guard changing his name to that of his hero, Elvis Presley.

She says: "While I think this was cool I would have thought the fact Elvis's cousin Donna is coming to Brighton in August warranted more than a small section that didn't even give us details of how to go about getting tickets. I hope you'll be doing a full page feature on this event."

So do I, Michelle. Tickets can be obtained by calling Lee Dawson on 01273 386312.

Peter Bailey says our background feature on July 18 about sacked radio DJs (following the departure of Moody from Southern FM) wrongly referred to Radio Luxembourg as a "pirate station". It wasn't, having been with us legitimately since the Thirties, and is still going strong (reception permitting!).

Bob Mulholland, from Hove, says our story last Saturday about the murder of Robert Saint said he did his National Service in the RAF from 1948.

"A simple piece of arithmetic by your reporter would have worked out that, as he was aged 70 when he died, he would have been just 16 in 1948." Thanks, Bob.

A letter from Iona Botting, from Hove, on July 9 reprinted her surname as Potting. Sorry to Iona, who adds: "Perhaps you had Harry Pottermania!"

A report on July 21 about a power cut in West Sussex referred to Seeboard. Public affairs and media manager Claire Byrd points out the company that distributes power across Sussex is now known as EDF Energy. EDF Energy's networks business has a head office in Crawley and the firm's customer branch, which includes Seeboard Energy, is based in Hove.

And finally, this week's Spicer. Gerald, from Portslade, says an article on July 18 showed a picture of plug sockets, which the caption described as plugs.

"Plugs go into sockets," says Mr Spicer helpfully.
