It’s a geographic issue, move to Worthing and you’ll be fine

Just realised you’re a spit from my two old “locals”, the basketmakers and wagon & horses.

oh wow, how could you leave this area?
It was with difficulty. Started off in late seventies, and despite moving several times always ended up back, latterly in an extremely grotty flat in Cheltenham pl.
Finally ended up in a posh flat just off the lewes rd, and from there off to pastures new.
Was all a bit rough and ready in those days, none of the (so I’ve been told) gentrification that happened well after I left.
Great place to live and party in during late seventies and eighties, I think 
Feeling a bit rough at 3am, quick dip and try to swim “the piers” soon sorted you out!
Happy days.

Yes, I started off in Kemp Street, moved to Hangleton, and have come back to Vine Street! The roast dinners in the Basket and Eagle are still top notch, and the North Road end of Chelters now has a Bill’s Restaurant, The Fountainhead Pub and a Bison Beers bar.
You done the ‘mature and move to Worthing’ thing then
