I’d be worried if I was a politician

A lady, far wiser than me, once said worrying was pointless.

Lighthouse visit the highlight of my career

Thu, 02 May 2013 16:01:44 GMT

The highlight of my week, actually my whole career, came on Wednesday afternoon when I was invited out to the Beachy Head Lighthouse for an access all areas tour of the iconic building and to hand over the £27,000 cheque which the good people of Eastbourne raised to get the red and white stripes repainted.

Is that a bus stop I see before me?

Do my eyes deceive me as it would seem the loading bay outside the old council offices in Grove Road, which is earmarked to become a Tesco store seems to have mysteriously disappeared? And been turned into a bus stop. Where, now I wonder, will those huge lorries park up now when they’re delivering to a store which very few people actually wanted? I also wonder if they will be delivering alcohol to the said store – not because I am partial to a drop of the old bottled grapes you understand – but because I am still struggling to understand how the shopkeeper who runs what was Thresher’s opposite the railway station cannot get a licence to sell grog, but the proposed Tesco store, which is in the middle of the very residential Lower Meads, more than likely will.
