[Misc] Happy Sussex Day- 16th June

[Eeyore]

Tomorrow is that much anticipated moment that we greet with much joy and ceremony. No, not England's first game in the Euros, but a celebration of our beautiful county.

So wave your flags, put up your stoolball wickets and don't be DRUV.

Then sing that song as you march along...

More importantly it’s the opening day of the coarse fishing season

Forget all that maggot drowning stuff. Get out on the beach and boat.

Now is the time for Harveys.

 

[Midget]

It's our wedding anniversary (and yes we did walk back up the aisle to GOSBTS!)

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It’s Bloomsday. Forget everything else.

 

[BN9 BHA]

It’s Bloomsday. Forget everything else.

Are you not from Sussex then?

More importantly it’s the opening day of the coarse fishing season

So let your voices ring, my boys
And take the line from me

 

[ManOfSussex]

The Downs are sheep, the Weald is corn,
You be glad you are Sussex born!

 

[Eeyore]

Now is the time for fishing

off to the shops for bait.
Hark to merry anglers,
on the banks of the Ouse today.

Someone else carry on.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Are you not from Sussex then?

Only kidding. Happy Sussex Day!

As it happens I’m a DFL - but a long, long time ago.

 

[Insel affe]

Happy Sussex Day folks.

off to see family in deepest darkest Sussex (Wadhurst) today.

Just been reminded it’s the London to Brighton bike ride, so that means stick an extra half hour each way on getting in and out of Brighton today.

 

[Gwylan]

It’s Bloomsday. Forget everything else.

Indeed. Time for a gorgonzola sandwich (as a vegetarian, I can't eat kidneys)

 

[Norman Potting]

Sussex pond pudding for anyone?

Sussex pond pudding for anyone?

Had that nearly every week at school, loved it.

Happy Sussex Day, even if you are from the West of the county.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

The Gun Brewery on Gun Hill near Horam has a Sussex Day Fair , organised by the Chiddingly Bonfire Society, going on today from 12 - 5. Lots of family fun and good beer.

 

[Dun Lurkin]

There ain't no beer like Sussex beer,
From Washington to Friston,
And there ain't no gals like Sussex gals,
You'd know it if you'd kissed un.

(Attributed to a Brighton Intermediate School teacher in the 1930s, as told to me by my father, who was a pupil there)
