The picture used to illustrate an article about the future of the Post Office on our personal finance page was in "bad taste", says Mr R Reeves, from Brighton.

It showed the sub-postmaster and his wife from the (now closed) sub-post office in Havelock Road, Brighton, with the great, great, great-grandchildren of the original owner.

Says Mr Reeves: "Although they were smiling in your picture, it was a very sad day for them as they did not want to close - and for their customers who now have to go to post offices at Fiveways or the Co-op in London Road. In view of the article, you should have taken more care in selecting the photograph."

You are right, Mr Reeves, we should have. Thank you.

Martyn Perry, waste services manager for East Sussex County Council, wishes to clarify the article on Wednesday last week about a petrol explosion in St Philip's Avenue, Eastbourne, which injured two men.

He says it happened not at the Eastbourne Household Waste Recycling Site (WHRS), as we said, but in the police depot next door and the WHRS was only closed on the advice of firefighters.

Also, the site is not managed and operated by Sita, as we stated, but by Onyx, whose staff were the first people on the scene and gave essential first aid to the injured and dialled 999.

Well done to them and I am sure we all wish the injured men a speedy recovery.

Peter Arkell, from Hove, points out that the aerial picture of the Old Steine in Brighton used in Extra on Wednesday August 20 was several years out of date.

It showed one of the green Guide Friday open-top buses, which were replaced this year by red City Sightseeing buses, and a road layout at the junction with St James's Street which has since changed.

Mr Arkell adds: "Care should be taken when choosing future aerial pictures that they are up to date." Quite so.

Crabklaw - as a reader from Portslade prefers to be known - says the caption to a picture of a Spitfire used with a story on Monday last week previewing Shoreham Airshow was inaccurate.

It said "One of the few: A Battle of Britain memorial flight Spitfire above Lancing College".

Says Crabklaw: "The spitfire hadn't even been built in 1940. Then to say it was from the Battle of Britain is beyond belief - ask Gerald Spicer!"

Well, I didn't need to because the Feedback favourite and your fellow Portslade resident wrote in to make the same point!

He says the picture showed Spitfire PV202, code 5R-Q and was taken at the 1999 air show. A friend of his was killed in one at Goodwood airfield in 2000, which we reported at the time. Sorry, and many thanks, gentlemen.

Apologies, too, to the family of Sussex rugby stalwart Geoffrey Cornford, whose death aged 83 we reported last Saturday but referred to him as Mr Richmond. My thanks to David Bennett, from Hove, for pointing out the error.

And finally, back to those crossword clues (Feedback, August 22) and Margaret Julyan, from Haywards Heath, who says: "What used to be an exercise of the little grey cells before has becoming a mind-blowing struggle. Who invents these ridiculous words which result in such obscure clues? He has to go - the compiler, I mean."

She also alleges that instead of publishing last Saturday's answers on Monday we published the previous Thursday's. In fact we didn't and the answers were the correct ones. Mistakes - we can all make them, Mrs J.
