ONCE again the Evening Press is on the spiteful trail of Sam Smith's and of the chairman Mr Humphrey Smith.

A few weeks ago it was a regular part of the pathetic Titley Diarrhoea, sorry, Diary, even inviting readers to write in with anything that could be used to ridicule the above.

Did Mr Titley put the end bit in the editorial ("Chill with Sam," August 18)? What is the reason for the vendetta? Why not some vicious digs at the big brewers?

Sam Smith's are sticking to some much needed old values. We do not all want loud music, nor do we all want late-night openings; and who needs the Titley view?

Your silly nicknames, Joshua Titley, Guzzling Greenwood, Beerstein or whatever, say enough about you.

For goodness' sake grow up.
