I read your article about the "anger" that local publicans are expressing at Tony Blair's suggestion they should pay for the behaviour of drunken louts (The Argus, December 1).

But why did you seek the view of Trevor Hughes, the landlord of the Prince Arthur in Brighton, which is known as one of the quietest pubs in the City, and also of his ex-partner Derek Henderson of The Stag in Upper Bedford Street?
