I stayed in Eastbourne for a week when I returned to Europe on a holiday last May. There are far, far, too many old people, white "gangstas" and pregnant 15 year old girls there.
It's only a short drive from Brighton yet so, so depressing.
f*** - no! Shit hole of the worst kind (Daily Mail-reading, doddering, white empire loyalist, masonic wankers running a town full of the same, with a leavening of nasty little tossers whose only "employment" is the terrorising of twelve-tear-old foreign students):should be bulldozed immediately with its inhabitants in situ.
Me and my wife are from Eastbourne. My mother-in-law still lives there. It's alright west of the pier, but she lives east of the pier. Seaside. Not fun.
I like the place. I get a bit uneasy when people get so vitriolic about the pensioners -- do these people also hate towns full of black people or, er, gays? Dodgy ground!
I think some of the critics might be surprised at how many Brighton people have been moving here in the past few years. My road is full of them. To a man/woman they say they prefer it here. And they're all under 40, before someone starts...
