What should one do to celebrate Sussex Day? Eat a martlet?
For all the people of the ancient kingdom of Sussex!
Let it be known: the 16 June of each and every year shall be known as Sussex Day.
Sussex day shall be celebrated according to the rites and traditions of Sussex.
Let it be known all the people of Sussex shall be responsible for the maintenance of those boundaries that join to those of our neighbours.
Let it be known all the people of Sussex shall be responsible for all the environs within those boundaries.
Let it be known, the people of Sussex shall recognise the inshore waters that lie inside a line drawn from Beachy Head, and extending to Selsey Bill as being, the Bay of Sussex.
Let it be known, the people of Sussex will undertake responsibility for the general well being of our neighbours.
Let it be known the people of Sussex shall be guardians of our wildlife.
Let it be known the people of Sussex will, through custom support all local business.
Finally, let it be known, as guardians of Sussex, we all know Sussex is Sussex … and Sussex won’t be druv!
In God we trust.

Celebrate how much better the East twin is easier on the eye, than its west twin

West is best.
Everyone knows that.

Sing Sussex by the Sea with the additional verse which was very recently "discovered", coincidentally around April 1st, and is actually worthy of officially adopting - see....

This poll would suggest that East is best.

What a load of old bollocks...
The historic county is known for its "seven good things of Sussex".These seven things are Pulborough eel, Selsey cockle, Chichester lobster, Rye herring, Arundel mullet, Amberley trout and Bourne wheatear. Sussex is also known for Ashdown Partridge Pudding, Chiddingly Hot pot, Sussex Bacon Pudding, Sussex Hogs' Pudding, Huffed Chicken, Sussex Churdles, Sussex Shepherds Pie, Sussex Pond Pudding, Sussex Blanket Pudding, Sussex Well Pudding, and Chichester Pudding. Sussex is particularly known for puddings: such was the reputation of Sussex that it was said that "to venture into the county was to risk being turned into a pudding yourself".In one version of the Sussex folk tale, the knucker dragon at Lyminster was slayed after being fed a poisoned Sussex pudding.
That's from Wikipedia. Don't think I've ever eaten a single one of those things!

Looking in the mirror again, my friend?
Too much division in this land, let’s just focus on what unites. Besides, it clashes with South Bucks day

Now. Do I merge it with the other thread or just point out that the fixtures came out last week? Hmmm.

Maybe both......
Sussex Pond Pudding is actually rather nice - much better than it's name suggests.
