Top 5 worst places to live in East Sussex

There is a common belief among Northern folk, that the south east is posh and the streets are paved with gold. When it comes to East Sussex, to a large extent that is true in districts like Wealden and Rother. However, just like most places in England it has its dumps, which should be avoided […]

The sting in the wonder tale of Forest Row in Sussex

There is a village in England that has some pretty astounding features for a village, such as five or six non-chain places where to have a decent cup of coffee, a village hall where a certain film society shows some pretty decent films, like, ‘lo and behold, Werner Herzog and other illuminati. a Rudolf Steiner […]

Hailsham… Town of the ‘wannabe’

Hailsham… Town of the ‘wannabe’! In the past the local youth aspired to be like the local traveller community. This came to an abrupt end when people from London whom could not cope with an influx of immigrants migrated here. The people from London soon put an end to the ridiculous claims of ‘being hard’ […]

St Leonards on sea is the place to be… for hipster’s parents!

Living in St Leonards on sea, East Sussex

Once the damp, roof leaking, same-threadbare-blue-carpet-since-83 flat and doss house asset location of the slumlord, St Leonards on sea has changed a lot over the last twenty years and is now becoming the (2nd) home of a quite different, but equally odious breed of investment class ********, the hipster’s parents. That’s right, the twenty something […]

Crowhurst: Why you SHOULDN’T live here

Crowhurst is basically one big field, there is approximately 0 post offices, 0 shops, 0 restaurants, 1 s**tty pub and 0 entertainment.If you want friends, you better go somewhere else as all you’ll see are old people and sheep. Be careful of the care home, as you may see a stray pensioner wandering around at […]

Eastbourne: God is ignoring this waiting room…

Eastbourne, Eastbourne…where to start? Stinky, ******, utterly without charm. No good shops, disproportionately high numbers of OAP’s and people with addiction/mental health problems. I have lived/worked here for waaay too long (about fifteen years) and am finally escaping in 2017. I work in the town centre, and sometimes feel like a fricking social worker; I […]

Brighton – Blackpool of the South

I used to like Brighton. There was a feel to the place. A permissiveness that gave Brighton a bohemian feel and made it special. Unfortunately the conmen and incompetents known collectively as “The Council” obviously spent many happy days in Blackpool in their youth and have been hell-bent on destroying as much of the seafront […]

Hastings, the new Shangri-La for London’s vulture lower investment class

With each new article in The Guardian, there’s more of them. Down-from-London (DFL) types or F.I.L.T.H (Failed in London Try Hastings), wandering around the Old Town at weekends, peering in John Bray & Son’s window after visiting the Jerwood Gallery. Their first visit to what they see as a quaint fishing village, with actual working […]

Brighton: ruined by Trustafarians & middle aged hippie consumers

If you’re looking for a place by the sea that pretends to be a mixture of San Francisco and France, you’ve come to the right place. Brighton has the truly unique and incredible selling point of being home to pockets of easy-to-identify clans. I won’t bore you with details of the homeless crack beggars (you […]

Bexhill-On-Sea aka God’s Waiting Room

This town could be a great place to live, but it is ******** and run by a bunch of over the hill, out of touch OAPs who hate change and any one under 50 being in their town. This is the sort of place where the seagulls bombard your car with fish smelling sh*t, but […]

Portslade… twinned with Mordor

I have found myself living in the seaside town of Portslade for nearly a year now. After commuting down here for work, I thought why not get a nice little place by the sea, where I can unwind in the fresh air after a hard day in the office…. WHAT A BLOODY MISTAKE! Portslade is […]

5 towns in the South East that are worse than Hastings

5 towns in the South East worse than Hastings

It’s easy to see why Hastings is held in such low regard by both residents and non-residents alike. All the indicators are there in the statistics to show how poor this end-of-the-line run down seaside town is, compared to the rest of the South East. It has 27.2% of its residents in private rented accommodation […]
