The simplified poll results (so far):-

One third of NSC users were born in Sussex and have lived here all their lives.

One third were born in Sussex and have moved out of the county at some time (and some of them have returned)

One third were born outside Sussex.

A pedant writes ...

"Outside the country" IS "outside the county".

Unless you go along with the new Euro-style regional map which has a place called "Rives-Manche".

This includes:- East Sussex; Brighton and Hove; Kent; Medway; Seine-Maritime (in Upper Normandy); Somme (in Picardy); Nord and Pas-de-Calais (in Nord-Pas-de-Calais). But it doesn't include West Sussex.

Which is why I selected option 2.

And no, I don't go along with the new map, not unless East Sussex residents get to buy Sancerre for 4 quid a bottle and the smoking of Gitannes in public places becomes complusory. Then I'll be home like off a shovel.

 

[Stumpy Tim]
