I've just rung my lad in his pub since he seems to know everything that happens in Lewes but no more details have reached him. He first thought on hearing that it was Southover High Street was "Someone's Got De Vecchi"!!

It couldn't be "me me me" shooting his mouth off could it ? and some poor journalist or cameraman getting caught in the crossfire.
