Aren't you thinking of Paul McCartney out near Rye? Phil Collins had a house near Loxwood but I think he sold it when he moved out to Switzerland?

I am not sure about that. I chatted with him and Monica a number of times, i was their paperboy and then a few years later, postman. When I was the paperboy, I had to collect the money for the Argus each week. Once or twice I went into their house and Monica's art really freaked me out. They were very kind to me and gave me a decent tip as well.

Pamela Rooke was born in and was from Seaford. I remember her on the bus in about 1975/76, my mother told me to stop staring, people didn't usually sport bright pink Mohicans in sedentary Seaford.
