Richard March's letter, "I can't buy anything I want here" (October 4), must surely have been a joke.
He went to Cork to buy a raincoat because he couldn't find one in Brighton, tried to buy fuse wire from Seeboard offices (why? - surely a hardware shop or DIY superstore would have been a good starting point), tried to buy handkerchiefs from "all the large stores" and couldn't find a hot water bottle anywhere (try Boots or Ashtons).
Finally, he couldn't find a lampshade anywhere (try BHS, Habitat, Woolworths, etc).
Mr March goes on to say this proves we are a "degenerate and sub-human population".
Blimey! Brighton is recognised as one of the top shopping destinations in the UK. He really should get out more. Or less, perhaps.
