[News] Lucky escape

[Icy Gull]

Hopefully no serious injuries.

Standard of driving here in Seaford is atrocious and a good example to anyone why defensive driving needs to be practiced. Taking on a roundabout here is like Russian roulette

I was only saying yesterday that driving around Worthing is akin to being in a dodgem sometimes

So inappropriate, but tres amusant.

My Sister took my 88 year old mum to a cafe in Seaford.
They had just left when a car crashed through the window!
Argus has latest pictures.

Firstly, I hope all are ok

As its the Argus, I'm i suprised the headline wasn't glorified to say the car was being chased by a dinosaur, seeing its Seaford.

The biggest Seaford news since the Ouse was diverted to Newhaven.

Grew up in Seaford, but haven’t walked down Broad Street for 30 years. Hope everyone is ok.

Do you own Christmas pyjamas though ?

Some years ago, on an icy day, I stepped out of the petrol station shop door - as I reached my car just five yards away, another car came sliding in off the main road and straight into the door I had just come out of.

Went to work feeling like a very lucky chap.

I remember there was a cafe in Seaford in the early 80s called The Tuck Inn, every so often some wag, with a dash of paint, would convert the T to an F. As an young boy I found this hilarious. As a 50 plus adult I still find this hilarious.

I knew my neighbour worked in a cafe but didn’t realise it was this one. She was in the kitchen when it happened. Fortunately she was fine, although shocked.

I was amazed they put up a sign 'River Uck' just asking for it!

Seaford’s legendary - Monikka Danneman (Hendrix’s girlfriend) lived there for years; Jordan from the Sex Pistols; an actress who was in Star Wars first film and still does the conventions, the only female to speak in that film apart from Carrie Fisher; Jimmy Tarbuck owns a new build flat opposite the train station; Green Cross Code Man went to school there; the home constituency of three (3) Prime Ministers, the list is...errr..endl...

You left out the brilliant artist Eric Slater and the lovely Natalie Graham.

As a lad everyday day on the way to Newhaven west beach we would change the Hope inn's chalkboard from " FRESH CRAB SANDWICHES" to "FRESH CRAP SANDWICHES ". In the end the landlord sellotaped over the B to try and thwart us.

Seaford. What an oddity.

By all accounts, David Lynch based Twin Peaks on Seaford after lodging in Denton in the mid 1960s.

I drive in London daily and find the majority of drivers in Brighton are very polite. Makes a change from being cut up or cutting people up and having to put up with some idiot on the horn behind me before the lights have turned green.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Reminds me of Mac's Drive-in Cafe on Arundel Road

What has happened to the lovely Natalie , she hasn't presented South East Today for several weeks?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I have two short videos but can't work out how to put them up on this new format.
My sister said the old driver was wearing Christmas pyjamas!

I remember giving someone a pair of those, last Christmas.
And the very next day, he gave them away.

West Beach RIP. Every summer as a child was spent either on the west beach or east side.

Back on topic, I hope Betty wasn't too shaken up by the close call
