List of nice places to live in Sussex

Erdington?

What? In Brum?

I used to work at the Co-op in Erdington High Street.

Indeed LB - a five year sojourn in the Midlands from around 1988 - 1993.

Used to shop in the Co-Op in Erdington as well, left soon after our first was born, the prospects of him supporting "The Blues" and singing "Keep right on to the end of the road" was too much to bear. Mind you we were around two miles from Villa park so who knows what team he might have supported, his mother could not stand the prospect of him talking Brummie hence the repatriation.

Happy days as we were married when living in Birmingham but actually tied the knot back in Brighton, I am pretty certain we travelled the furthest to our own wedding.

When did you work there ?

When did you work there ?

I started with a Saturday job when I was still at school and then worked full time between school and leaving to come to Sussex University in 1966.

That was the nearest anyone got to a "gap year" in those days.

I generally managed to avoid Villa Park (apart from the World Cup games played there, of course), but must confess to regular trips down the Coventry Road to see the Small Heath Aces.

Incidentally, how many people know that Krispies used to be a Blues fan?

I live in Ditchling
It is a very nice place, though there isn't really that much to do for young people and the public transport is a bit crap. The pubs are quite nice, there used to be four pubs but now we're down to two,

i play football for them, pubs are good indeed

Not many I suppose

Rottingdean Rocks but only when the traffic lights go to green. A village pond with real ducks and five pubs........Time stans still and it's only a three minute drive to Brighton.

Town Farm Estate in Hailsham, craps all over Scoomy for scariness.

 

[Juan Albion]

No-one has mentioned Crowborough. Not surprised really.

[Hassocks Armchair Fan]

HASSOCKS!

50 mins from London, 12 mins to central Brighton, 35 minutes to the M25, and a village with every type of shop you would want. Good schools for mini-armchair when he's old enough....I think we also have room for a footy stadium, but we're outside the boundary!

Alternatively, Lewes is cool and Seaford's, well, sleepy.
