Having campaigned in Sussex for almost four years and having read The Argus letters page for about the same time, I feel able to make the following suggestions to future correspondents:
1. Criticise 2. Blame
3. Oppose 4. Be negative.
There is more wrong with life then right but try to sit lightly upon its big saddle full of little facts and improve where you can.
If any future contributors need additional help, avoid using terms such as everybody, everything or all, whether stated or implied.
Letter-writers need help and must get a life.
