Think it's his daughter who has moved here, but he visits quite alot. Nice guy.
Ghastly. Avoid it like the plague, loads of pissed up out of towners getting pissed up and strutting around the streets like peacocks throwing their weight around. Of course my local South Street Bonfire are not included in my vitriol, many of them are allround stand up guys and gals.
I stay in doors for the whole event other than for the aforementioned SSBS parade up ... well, South Street.

I didn't bother due to the weather, watched some of it on YouTube, the parade is so boring, I used to March in commercial back in the day, letting rookies off and dancing behind the samba band, wouldn't bother watching it

I was going to report this thread, as it's along the lines of ageism, but in a county sense.
Pfffft......

Well obviously Aldrington is south of OSR and I was referring to AmexRuislip but I think you may have outed yourself in your location
Between you and me, I'm a couple of miles north of OSR myself

... technically Aldrington is a MASSIVE ancient estate that took in Lewes and to Chichester side boundaries of Worthing, stretching beyond Hangleton and its few windmills and barns.
Brighthelmstone was just a couple of fisherman cottages and Shoreham only the relics of a Roman Fort protecting a small port.
Aldrington has history way beyond the scale of any other Sussex settlement. Way before 1066 and all that

Wow And you genuinely recall the visit 65 years ago ?
I went to the cup match V Three Bridges, I didn’t see him myself but my son’s friend that lives in Lewes told me he saw him on the way into the ground.
smudge
Up the Albion!
Grew up in Lewes, I was a Landport boy. Many years ago in the middle of summer one hot evening, I was having a few pints with some old school friends in the Black Horse, and they started discussing bonfire and their plans for each society they belonged to.
"Fellas, it's July, you're talking about friggin' bonfire night!"
"You don't understand Smudge, you weren't born here".
Never forgotten that. Growing up, going to Pells Junior School, then Priory Comp'. Not enough to make me a Lewesian.
Born in Brighton General you see.
I moved back to Brighton a couple of years after that, and then to Shoreham Beach & now in Lancing where I can sometimes hear the shouts of Adam Lallana from the training ground in the distance.
I will do Bonfire in Lewes again one day maybe, but it's a proper ball ache if you're not local these days.
