Anybody with a smidgen of humanity in the soul must feel distress at the vexation with which Councillor Simon Battle endures life in Hove.

Yet again - (Letters, November 20) - we open The Argus and find the poor fellow gives vent to his moaning.

This time, he sneers at his chosen residence as "Cloud Cuckoo Land".

One must wonder how much longer Coun Battle will suffer. It is surely high time he took his own advice and moved.
