Lewes - Just How Insane is It?

[Dave the OAP]

[jevs]

3. Gardeners Arms

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Yes but they're all the sort who wear crocheted berets and long shapeless flowery skirts.

But love a bit of afternoon delight. That'll do for me. I'm coming home!

I grew up in Lewes and I have many happy memories of the town. I recall receiving a lifetime ban from the Odeon Cinema for lobbing a banger (firework, not hot dog) into the crowded foyer on a Saturday night. The following month I returned to the scene of the crime only to receive another lifetime ban, along with a few other mates. We were sat in the front row and were flicking lit fag ends up into the beam of the projector, thus creating an interesting 'firefly' effect. You should try it.

The Odeon Cinema which was in Cliffe High Street has long gone. There was another one on School Hill, the inappropriately named Cinema De Luxe. This was surely the cinema that gave birth to the term 'fleapit'. The manager, irreverantly known as Flashlight Fred, was a moral crusader, using his industrial sized torch to illuminate and deter back row hanky panky.

I like to go back to Lewes from time to time, but it's just not the same.

3. Gardeners Arms

had it's reputation in the past but most people have bought their council houses now and therefore tend to resppect the place.

Of course it still has its chavs....my new next door neighbour is a prime contender for chav of the century but Nevile and malling both have their share of yobs.

Wouldn't swap my house for all the tea in china.....i have unbroken views of the whole of north sussex. I can see the planes landing at Gatwick !!!!

Lets never forget Lewes District Council's and Normal Baker's (do nothing, change nothing Party) aggressive and bewildering opposition to Falmer Stadium, from which they will benefit from hugely, I bet.

Ive lived in Lewes twice in my life and worked their a great deal; its an odd place. "Lewes Lulu's.." as quoted by people from Newhaven.

Its saving grace is clearly Harvey's brewery.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

It's boring.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

this:

Strictly Not Cricket

Have fun. I live opposite. My parents are going

 

[Dave the OAP]

Have fun. I live opposite. My parents are going

from newhaven people

 

[Frutos]

I work there (in the town centre) and that's enough for me.

I wouldn't want to live there.

 

[colinpants]

Norman Baker, Anne Di Vechi, nuff said.

 

[Joe Pineapples]

I work there, and if you think it's bad on a nice sunny day, try swinging past The Gardener's Arms at prime time on a Friday night.

"Colourful"

 

[Wilko]

I work in Lewes and think it is great. Eccentric indeed but as toher have said, it has character. There are so many 'nothing' towns in this country, Lewes has an identity all of its own.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Only when they hit 70, and their front holes start flapping like a Cocker Spaniel's ears.

The 30-somethings still look in need of a mid-morning beauty treatment of minted cock yoghurt.

Are you the first person to be NSC raped?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I find Lewes slightly sinister. The pubs are not welcoming places.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Having worked in Lewes for five years my view of the place is that it is like Royston Vasey with added pyromaniacs and their 'special stuff' is brewed by the river.

 

[The Large One]

Are you the first person to be NSC raped?

Wot?

The other thing about Lewes is the football club. They kindly let us have free use of their facilities in order that us interlopers can raise a shedload of cash for good causes. I rather like that.

Can I ask where?
