READING the letter from Lyn Comolly from Westbourne about barbecues on the beach (Letters, Fevbruary 26), the best fresh air one can get is by the beach.

I would not like to be on the beach next to or near any barbecues. The smoke and smell would put anybody off. Loud music is bad enough from parked cars.
