    [Politics] Brexit

    Lady at work said she voted to leave so she would get duty free booze on her way to and from her time share villa in Spain every year. When I pointed out that the pound had crashed as a result of the vote she thought it was good as that meant she could get more Euros for her pound. At that...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Don't Switzerland and Norway have very high levels of immigration (higher than the UK?) which seems to be the main reason why many people here voted to leave in the first place? So yes you can negotiate back your ability to trade freely in Europe but at the cost of having to allow free movement...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    After reading the Southern Twitter account tonight it looks like Southern are reaching new lows in customer service. Seems like cancelling the last timetabled train home is the new idea. Loads of customers now stranded all over the network tonight.

    [Politics] Brexit

    Also appears there is the start of back tracking on controlling immigration. Seems like the reality is we will still have to accept free immigration into UK From Europe if we want the same for us to travel and work in Europe. Yes we could impose tighter controls on non EU people coming to the...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Email from senior management team this morning. Strategic review starts Monday. Have been tipped off that our Dutch office has been looking at larger premises for the past month under the instruction senior directors in case of exit vote. Looks like it is a case of relocate to Holland or find a...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    Looks like they are doing their best to beat that record this evening. Lots of trains leaving Victoria to Brighton cancelled due to no drivers.

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    Wait till you try the seats in the new Thaneslink trains. A plastic seat with a light coating of fabric. Standing may be the more comfortable option!

    Michu ?

    Worth a trial in the summer but unfortunately I think he would be a shadow of the player he once was.

    SASTA - what an absolute shower

    It was not much better for a time on Sat evening. At least the trains up to London are generally quite long so they can shift quite a few people if they were organised about it. Then again this is Southern!

    Farewell the Brighton wheel

    That's pretty much what happened to the tower at Portsmouth. Seem to remember its first few months of operation were dogged by dodgy lifts. Hopefully that embarrassment will be avoided in Brighton.

    Peregrine Falcon webcam, Sussex Heights (next to Churchill Sq)

    Would be sad to see that as they are getting so much food. But I guess no point raising a weak chick that will struggle to survive its first year.

    Peregrine Falcon webcam, Sussex Heights (next to Churchill Sq)

    They are growing fast. With 4 youngsters to feed the pigeon numbers in central Brighton should be kept under control.

    Hartlepool storm troopers on route to Plymouth ...

    That's a long old trip for the last game of the season. Shame about the result.

    Farewell the Brighton wheel

    Well if the Kemptonians did not like a big wheel gracefully rotating I don't know what they will think of people screaming like lunatics every few minutes as they slide down a zip line. Better the devil you know.

    Farewell the Brighton wheel

    real shame. I'd rather have a big wheel than a giant scaffold pole at the end of the west pier. Much more nicer to look at. I heard the wheel is being replaced with something else? Some sort of slide?

    Martin Perry is popping into Wickes first thing tomorrow morning. Should be ready by Sunday 3pm!

    There is a reason why the north east and south east corner internal cladding still looks a little unfinished after East stand expansion. If we get promoted we may find out why.

    Any news on Rosenior?

    Sadly bong is way off the pace from yesterday's showing. He looks a shadow of the player he was at the start of the season. Hopefully he will be back to full power next season. What a signing Rosenior has been. Can cover so many positions. Without him we would not be still in contention with...

    [Albion] Trains for the QPR match

    Usually get bus to station then train to Falmer. Tomorrow will revert to the trusted P&R from Mithras house after Friday's fiasco. Will cost the club three lost sales of pints of beer which is a shame. Will make up for it on Saturday at London Bridge pubs.
