If you mean Kave, they saw the light last year, and moved to Burgess Hill.
Jimmy Hill does or did
Jimmy Hill is chairmen of the football team.
You really have led a sheltered life if you think they are shitholes.
Is Washbrooks Farm still going? If so, have they still got Wallabies?

I'm not sure if she still does, but Greta Scacchi used to live there. Jonathan Pearce does I think and the woman who played Mrs McClusky on Grange Hill definitely does. How's that for A-list!?!
There was a murder in Willow Way a few years back, but the main part of the village and the road towards Hassocks is rather well-to-do. The New Inn is pleasant, but dull with over priced food, the Poachers is a bit rough around the edges, but in no way scary and the White Horse is the place to go for a late drink and the odd band. As mentioned somewhere above, the Indian (Nupur) is pretty good - I think it's a sister restaurant of the Nizam in HH.
I wouldn't want to live there, but given a choice of Haywards Heath, Bugger's Hole, Hassocks or Hurstpierpoint, I would probably choose Hurst.
As does footie commentator Jonathon Pearce
the wallabies now live somewhere else.
Use to be four at one point.The other pub was called the Pierpoint which has been knocked down i believe.There use to be a social club in Manor rd as well.
Jimmy Hill lives in Langton Lane, David Gold's girlfriend lives between the church and the White Horse and Greta Scacchi is close to Danny House (a stupendous Elizabethan mansion south of the village, close to Wolstenbury Hill). Mrs McClusky lives on the road to Hassocks and the wallabies now live somewhere else.
There used to be 8 pubs in Hurst, one of them, possibly called the Sussex, in the Brewery in Cuckfield Road which is now flats. There was also the Lamb at the top of the same road, plus the Red Lion opposite the Church and two more that I can't remember exactly where, but I think one may have been called the Oak?
As to "names", Terry Neil (ex Arsenal) also lives in the village - it's a right little football hotbed!
