• Ffs, How much can it cost? I will personally pay for the paint if other FMs volunteer to paint the circle on the road and the give way lines which is all it will take. I daresay the council will whinge on about needing roundabout signs, maybe one of the bonfire societies could get get their metal signs person to oblige.
  
  I honestly think we'd do better without ESCC in this town. We could just sort stuff out for ourselves and certainly would have trouble doing a worse job.


• I was in Caffe Nero this morning and there seemed to be some kind of buggy appreciation club going on. I swear each table had at least one more buggy than child at it. One woman was even so kind as to give me a filthy look for sitting at the table next to her (With my crutches) as apparently little Tarquin's coat was using that table.
  
  
  Anyway, Lewes is a lovely place to live although moving from Canterbury you should expect to significantly down-size your house, or get a big old mortgage. There are all sorts of events and social clubs in town and joking about the Islington Bonfire Society aside, Bonfire Societies are easily the best way to get to know people and get involved in the community.
  
  
  I'll admit I'm amazed that you've found a job here though, unless you're working in Brighton, in which case I'd suggest living there, the train journey in the morning is moderately horrific and driving to Brighton is retarded.


• They stored dangerous fireworks illegally which DIRECTLY resulted in the deaths of 2 long serving fire fighters. It is a disgrace that the majority of posters on here (all allied to various bonfire societies no doubt) are not acknowledging this fact. Shame on you all. To me the Winters are as bad as a drunk driver who kills someone while under the influence.


• Ron I think you need to get over it, because we are going to continue. - AND Do you need to be that rude??!! (Hee hee I'm kind of glad that we've upset you, because you are obviously not a nice person.)
  We have new members joining us also plenty of encouragement and good comments from those in bonfire societies and out. So tough tits!
  Thank you smiler and mr happy and all those who DO support us we appreciate it!
  See you at the next one...! Monkey.


• Say what you like about the Cliffe drummers, they are not professional musicians and don't claim to be. They still went down well with many people, and personally I would rather listen to them than to christmas carols any day of the week. Yes, its true that the Bonfire Societies do bonfire for themselves and not for an audience, but as has already been said by others, this wasn't a Bonfire - simple as that. They were obviously asked to perform by whoever organises the late night shopping, so thats what they did. They are no more 'ooh look at us' than any other street entertainer or carol singer. Also they gave up their time for nothing. If they claimed to be a band of Cozy Powells, then you might have reason to have been disappointed, but I really don't see the problem. I guess some people just like to complain, but never do anything themselves.
