That said, I have recollections of a lorry driver failing to put their handbrake on properly whilst in the public toilets and said lorry rolled down Cuckfield Road into the wall of the infant's playground of St Lawrence school!

Obviously not acceptable in Hurstpierpoint, I believe he was burnt at the stake as an example to all who would dare tarnish the reputation of such a fine village.

This would not happen in Hurstpierpoint because the Barclays closed there in 1993, sadly I was the one who closed the doors that last day, sad moment

Sadly no staff will get time off, they will be found other jobs at other branches no problem

Sussex Police have released images of two men they would like to speak to in connection with the 'Hole-in-the-Wall' style robbery.

Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Keymer, Ditchling - these northern towns are all the same
Hassocks is the bastard illegitimate cousin...

Not sure I can stand this. I leave the racy metropolis that is Burgess Hill for a quiet life in Hassocks and in the space of a week there is a ram raid and a murder. And I recommended the place to another NSC'er who has now bought a place as well.

I fondly imagine when these stories came in, the editor at the Mid Sussex Times actually leapt up from his desk, rang the office bell and shouted (like Janine did in Ghostbusters) "WE GOT ONE!"

And we have a possible attempted murder in Burgess Hill on Wednesday night, thankfully the 15 year old is now conscious

Haha.
Park in Hassocks on the way to Albion games, the board outside the newsagents is always along the lines of 'Man falls off bike', 'Traffic Light Controversy', me and my dad always joke about it, looking forward to seeing some different headlines.
