[Albion] Crawley

Funnily enough I was listening to a documentary about the Mauritians and you’re dead right, they’ve been stitched up completely.

The only other place that gets nearly as much stick as Crawley, on here, is Newhaven.

And crucially, they are NOT 'Mauritians'. They are all from Diego Garcia aren't they? In which case they are all British passport holders.

Blimey, it's become gentrified! I grew up in Lancing (1966 to 1990) and whilst it didn't happen every week there were often fights in/outside the pubs: Farmers, Merry Monk, Britannia, Crabtree and Balltree (Sompting) being the main offenders. Usually not big ones, often just a couple of blokes having a straightener, but it happened enough for me growing up to think that fighting in pubs was quite normal.

It's only when I moved to Brighton that I realised it wasn't!

It's not weird, it's just different.

They lie down in an unorthodox orientation in mid Sussex, that's all. They lie down vertically in coffins to save on floorspace, so they can squeeze into the tiny newbuild housing up there in the frozen north.

Back in the day didn't there used to be a pub on A23 where groups from Crawley and Brighton used in have a bit of a scrap?

I'm not saying Crawley should be kicked out of Sussex but they should definitely be re-categorized to East Sussex with some of the other toilet.

West Sussex always been best

I reckon because Newhaven is near enough connected to Brighton. It's Sussex by the Sea. It get's a bit of a mickey take like Whitehawk might because of some truly awful council estates. But they are basically us.

Crawley is only just Sussex. There's a strong suspicion that it's a town that wants Palace to beat us, in the same way that Chichester veers a bit to Pompey. And let's face it, the whole of mid Sussex is just a bit weird

Lancing has its nice areas.

Lancing College, lancing Ring, the beach between beach green and Shoreham.

North lancing, the church and chocolate box cottages are lovely.

It’s the village centre that looks like someone air-dropped a shipping container full of mutants.

But it’s easy to get dental and GP appointments. Library is always dead quiet. And rail station is well kept.

So Lancing College is great and all the working class bits of Sussex are shitholes. I don't know what the banter is meant to be here but it all looks a bit Hyacinth Bouquet to me
