Dear Diana Crook, I have just read your comment on the pronounciation of ‘Seaford’, since I have the honour of bearing the name of this modest seaside town and my name as Cfud can now regard myself as an “intelligent invader”! PS I would also like to acquire your book on Seaford, Treasure Chest so shall be visiting Waterstones shortly. Yours Colin – Lord Seaford
