People from Kent / Sussex / Brighton - UK

New in town.
Moved here from Brighton a few weeks back to be with my girlfriend.
Starting out here from sratch. Caught the tail end of Oktoberfest - Just finished a quick german course -registered with this site and thrown a few posts up - thats about it so far.
Anyone out there from Sunny Brighton. Or my home turf of Kent and Sussex.
Best wishes
Steve

oh no!!! not another soft shandy-drinking southerner!!!

j/k - welcome to TT, BM

About bloddy time too
Place is being over-run by flatcap wearing, whipping racing northerners.

@BM
I am from Chichester and ignore Topsy she just jealous that she had to be born in Yorkshire and is blessed with a funny accent

I'm proud to be from Yorkshire, I'll have you know

I've never been to a whipping race, btw, Rus - sounds like something for the adult chat forum...

Shandy...my favourite drink..however did you guess
How long have you been in Munich for Rus? (fellow southerner)
Is it a permanent thing.

Thanks for the welcome Topsy
It´s grim up north i suppose - whats a whipping race? A strange satanic northern custom perhaps?

sounds very kinky, doesn't it?
makes you wonder what young Rus has been getting up to in Moscow on those cold and lonely evenings...

Will Surrey do?

Ok I may have meant to type Whippet Race but you knew what I meant

@Topsy
Are you sure you havent been to a Whipping Race?

Surrey will do.
What fair town do you hail from?

Yes, I'm sure
I'm a good girl, I am

I'm not from Brighton but I think it's the coolest town in Britain. Move it closer to some mountains and I'll move there next week.

It was cool until it got to the point where the majority of the population came from outside Sussex.
60something % I think its gone down hill since then.

@Brighton Munich
I see those arsehole brothers that own the Palace Pier managed to get away with their little "bonfire". Allegedly!!
No competition danger now then.

Richmond - guess it counts as London, but postal address is Surrey. I was lying on Richmond Green in August in the sun with a book and picnic not wanting to come back. Followed by pub right on the Thames ... don't know why I'm still here.

Another Surreyite here... Chertsey.

Here is much nicer

Brighton is cool, done lots of London-Brighton runs in my time...

You forgot Surrey mate. It rocks!...if u ignore the crappy weather...lol

Not me honest -
Yeh. The west pier is in such a bad way now after the bonfires that it looks like nothing will be done with it. On one hand Brighton has got better. E.g on the sea front years back was just the Shark bar and Forturne of War. Now it is ramed with clubs - so no bad thing. But have to agree that it has got too ´trendy` almost too much london money sloshing about. None of my mates who work localy can afford to buy a house only my mates that work in london can aford them now.

Appologies to the Surrey contingent. Lived in Guildford for a year. It was very very ´Nice´
Its nice to see that there are a few people about from my home ground.

Any one from this glorious town in the sarny sarf of england. I know most of emigrated there as kids but just interested

Yes.

I'm not from Brighton actually, but I used to live there.
I had a flat just across to " Ye Old King & Queen "

I'm from the 'new Brighton'... Hastings! Welcome fellow East Sussexian!

Trust you remembered to bring a flask of sea-air with you.

Given that I live on the South Coast, I am missing the sound and sight of the sea big time... diving the lakes doesn't quite have the same feel to me...

Im from Steyning nr Brighton, good post. Damn I miss clubbing at the Beach club with Global underground and walking my dog on the Downs. Dogs dead now though, tried to mount a moving car, poor old fella.
