The car park at Tesco's has a ramp which makes it one storey, but hardly multi storey.

Our 16 year old student mugged by Portslade station last night 9pm

In the interest of balance:
On 5 July 2000 the 1st Portslade Brownies (St Andrew’s) walked ten times around Vale Park and raised £255 to be shared between the NSPCC and the Brownies’ Christmas Fund.

You're doing the car park a serious disservice. It has more than a mere ramp, it has three levels which I think qualifies it for use of the prefix "multi" or at least "tri".

Hold your horses. So the guy in the shop was in Hove. I'm not sure which side of the road the mugging took place, or which side the unhelpful pedestrians were, but by god I shall find out.

I haven't been over that way for quite a few years. Have they built it up?

Thank you, I was beginning to think I was the forgotten victim in all this. I had an Xbox gaming session ruined, as did my online team who died without my protection. I will also pass words of sorrow to them.
My student is fine, he's a tougher lad than I was (am). I'm more annoyed with the reflection of our society, and he's probably more annoyed that he now has a 7pm curfew.

About time, West Hove is a very dangerous place.
On a more serious note, I hope your student has recovered after the mugging and still feels able to get out and about locally

I hope you're not suggesting that the 1st Portslade Brownies carried out their sponsored walk with anything but the utmost integrity and honesty. Your suggestion that the 1st Portslade Brownies would mislead and defraud their sponsers in such a cold and calculated manner is tantamount to libel and I believe Brown Owl has sufficient and justifiable grounds and evidence to initiate legal proceedings for your slur.
Yes, not only two different towns but two different counties, East Sussex and West Sussex. So if the crime occured in a totally different county to the one in which it was reported it may explain the administritive confusion.
It may also be like America where the police have certain powers only within a certain jurisdiction. So by crossing the County line into West Sussex the muggers could merely cross to the other side of the road and thumb their noses at the East Sussex constabulary who would be powerless to do anything about them.
From a mere ramp, it appears they must have. You need to pop over and visit. I think you will be mightily impressed.

I thought the East and West Sussex boundary was between Portslade and Southwick. It was when I lived in Stanley Road many many moons ago.
I think London might be the key to our different attitudes here. Everyone keeps
themselves to themselves broadly. That is the problem.

Its even more impressive when you allow for the fact that the roof level is actually on 2 different levels as well - so it COULD be argued that we are talking about a quad-level carparking facility here.
Naturally the panoramic views of downtown Portslade and beyond from up there are nothing short of breathtaking (and I've been up the Rockefeller). Well, I say breathtaking - that might just be the after-effects of humping my bags-for-life up 6 flights of stairs, so as to avoid what have been officially crowned The Slowest Lifts in Western Europe.
And to add to the poor lad's misery he has to while away the hours of his curfew in the spartan visitors' room bereft of pictures. Surely you can make an exception to your no pictures for visitors policy in this instance after all he's been through. Might I suggest a nice tranquil land or sea scape.

Quite. Once up the ramp there are 4 (FOUR) distinct levels and Easy is right about both the view and the lifts.
That Tesco's also is home to the friendliest trolley collector in the known universe.

Mmm. Funny, but no, it doesn't explain the administrative confusion. Our whole country is the size of one US state, the police should have a common system that allows them to look up a case regardless of which side of a boundary the incident occurred.

I understand keeping yourself to yourself, that happens here too, we're not just one big happy family. But if someone says they've been the victim of a crime and asks you to call the police, you should call the police.
WTF is HE being punished??
