LAST Saturday, I went to see Jane McDonald in concert at the Brighton Centre. Great show, but it was nearly ruined by the bum-numbing seats and no clear view as the floor is flat, with all the seats behind each other. This city should be ashamed of itself

IN REPLY to Mark Davey's letter (The Argus, March 12), I would say that students bring me no benefits whatsoever. In fact, all they bring me is a great deal of stress. I have an HMO next door to me containing six students. Opposite is another HMO with
