I have a similar gripe to Bert Hobden's (Letters, October 5).

I am often free to watch "Senior Screen" and thus want to know the programme. However, from the local press, one would not think there was an Odeon in the area.

I have twice written letters of complaint to the manager of the Odeon in West Street, Brighton, who has rung me on each occasion.

I pointed out the only way to discover which was the Senior Screen film was to ring the Odeon information line and listen to all the times and pick out the one which only shows on a Thursday morning - costly and time-consuming.

He said if I said the world "Operator"

I would be connected to a real person. When I put this to the test, I was confronted with further spiel regarding methods of payment before being put through.

Why does the Odeon not advertise, as does every other entertainment venue in Sussex?

Could it be money-related?
