I went to the Duck at lunch once, and thought wtf have i come in here for?

Tried the Heath yesterday lunchtime. Think I was the only one in there!

Along with the Ugly Duckling, now that was a rough (by HH Standards) place to be at certain times. I heard that the last owner did a runner with the takings after a beach party there so left it with sand all over the floor. Still a shame to see them pulling down old pubs though.

tis true that, I went to the party!

Just going back to the Burrell, as the Star is shut, I actually might pop down today.

Apparantly they do a Burger, Chips and a Pint for £2.99 or something?

Can anyone confirm if this is true, and if so any opinions?

Cant remember the price but yes there is a deal like that, Had it around Christmas time last year. Cant say it was the best food I have ever had but for the price was very good value (cheaper than Maccy D's for freshly cooked burger and chips with a pint)

I worked in HH from 1989 -1990 then 1997-1999 it didn't have the plethora of pretend trendy bars it has now, then.

How did you leave those jobs? Was it voluntary?

Even I , a staunch defender of the burrell, have to say, for £2.99, what the f*** do you think its like ?

I think what I meant is there is nowhere with a "strip of pubs" like in Haywards Heath, thus no atmosphere/liveliness. That is the problem with Burgess Hill. The pubs are scattered all over the place, and most of them are shit.

This.

I live quite near Jacobs post and have done for the past year, I think i have been in there drinking 4 or 5 times.

What's your view of the burrell DS ? mine is rough and ready maybe, but nowhere near the shithole that some want to depict.

Deportivo is the one who starts all the fights Bushy!

Only Joking. I have spoken to DS a couple of times at the station going down to games!

 

[Blackadder]

Haywards Heath tries very hard to be like Brighton and not like Burgess Hill or Crawley.

Eh? You really do talk out of your arse H&BB.!

Or should I say you talk out of your H&BB!

Rarely drink in there now, sometimes pop in after an evening game. It's like a lot of places, so long as you don't mind someone giving you the eye it's not a problem. Compared to some of the less than salubrious places I've drunk in around portsmouth, Plymouth and Coventry its not bad.

Every village has an idiot, it just so happens that H&BB is the city idiot for B&H

That's true! A mere "Village idiot" would be too small for H !

yes very well, in fact impossible to know him any better!!!!!

 

[pasty]

Gary Wall, head of Mid-sussex Council, he and and his two brothers are Brighton fans and are regulars at the Withdean (well I've seen them there). Interestingly Gary used to run the Burrell a good few years ago when the Burrell was my local

I know them pretty well as I lived next door to them for about 15 years! Didn't Gary once have The Sussex a few years back.

God it takes me back hearing their names. There used to be a load of us when we were kids going down to the Goldstone in a scout van of all things !

It wasn't voluntary work though I have done a bit of that this morning.

89-90 was Bain Hogg left in June 1990 promoted to a Junior Broker in the City office.

Actually I have my dates wrong I was at Reed Business Information, Perrymount Road from October 1997 until November 1998 I left to do a bit of travelling. Then from August 1999 until June 2000 I worked for North Atlantic Run off in Harland's Road on a fixed term contract leaving to take a job in the city.

In those days every Friday dozens of people from my offices would get the same train as me down to Brighton or Hove.
