Brighton and peacehaven

[MagpieRacer]

you know, i must just me unlucky, my parents moved to peacehaven when i was 5 from brighton, bad idea, u know why?

i found out that peacehaven is in a book called Crap Towns

here is what is said about lovely beautilful peacehaven

Town: Peacehaven

A tedious town perched on top of cliffs that had sensibly been left to the sheep for the previous two millenia. Built after the First World War, its original name, New Anzac by Sea, hints of unnaturalness.

Gradually as the years progressed the American style grid system of roads was filled up with dainty little bungalows favoured by those in death’s waiting room who could no longer walk up the stairs. Neither could they walk to the town centre as
there wasn’t one, shops dotted the main road as regularly as Shane MacGowen’s teeth. Stretched out lengthways over two miles the town appears neverending.


You may get the odd lary local but you are more likely to die of boredom as those around you drone on interminably about matters the rest of the world left behind years ago.

Peacehaven is a town of nothing, a gaping hole in the time continium, an inverse Tardis - how can a space be so small in such a large area?

It has no railway, no cinema, no clubs, no sportswear shops, no factories, and sadly, for a town beside the sea, no beach.

Those with futures leave at the first oppotunity, the rest are caught in its soporific spiderweb that damns them to a lifetime of tedium.

Do you know Southwick and Portslade? If you think Peacehaven is crap try those places you must know them. They're chav havens, if ur in the area miss them out! Worthing's also crap, full of old people and chavs and chavy old people. Then there's Hastings, wont go into there..........actually Peacehaven isn't too bad....
Where you use to live in Brighton?
I live in Shoreham.
I'd never thought I'd ever see a southener on here!

Why does that statement not really surprise me(?)

Looking at the site it's funny. They don't have Windsor. Considering Windsor was recently voted as the 5th worst town in UK (by craptowns), that surprises me. Maybe they changed they're mind already.

Reading up about Leicester (my second home), it's clear they've never been there. I'm sure most of their write ups are just comprised from generic statements that can be applied to any town/city. Although it's all pretty funny due to that.

Drive in London and then come talk to me about how horrible the American grid system is.

Mother of Bob, I'm tired of brainless, pointless, and never-ending pokes at America.

Yeah i know, i'm only another 15 mins out of London than Ealing. I have to agree. It would be obvious to say that London is a cool place, so it seems comforting to people to say that it's rubbish, but in my opinion London (west) is a wicked place.

Amerikka sukkz olololololololololo gridz system isteh suX0r!1111

I drive in London, it's not so bad, apart from the road humps, congestion charge, overzealous parking ticket guys, various idiots, expensive parking, half the road taken up by bus lanes, speed cameras, the blackwall tunnel, cycle lanes in the middle of the road and probably a few other things i've forgot.

To be honest though, it's not that terrible driving in London if you avoid certain places.

Like most of it.
