    If YOU were moving to Lewes next month, is there an area/estate in particular you would not want to live in? A genuine enquiry. Prefer floods over unpleasant nobedz!

    don't think you will make many friends in flood hit areas with the expression 'prefer floods'!

    As its a genuine enquiry I will only say this: Avoid Malling, Avoid Landport, full of louts, yobs and losers. Oh and the road down to the college, gets a bit hectic with students.

    If you're moving next month isn't it a bit late to find out where you should move?

    Further to "j's" post above, avoid nevill like the plague, too many yobs and wannabe snobs and avoid Winterbourne too as it's full of lentil munching tree huggers. Don't live in the high street either as that looks (and sounds) like a scene from Beruit after a friday night. Wallands and Houndean rise areas are far too affluent for all but the super rich.

    Have you tried Chailey ?

    There are no areas to avoid in Lewes. You can find morons, noisy and inconsiderate neighbours in just about any residential housing area, whether the houses cost £200K or £500K.

    Coffee lover: I live in the Nevill area and have done for several years. I still can't find these yobs that you and one or two on here warn everyone about. The little group that used to hang around in the Crescent seems to have virtually disappeared. It's not Esher or Hampstead but I can't really fault the place.

    So tell us Shaymus who is moving to Lewes 'in a month', where exactly you're moving to. Or if not tell us which firms of solicitors and estate agents can arrange for a sale to go through so quickly that you're only beginning to look now.

    J,P, Your sentence makes no sense. With literacy skills like that I am assuming you live in Landport.

    J, before casting aspersions on Landport literacy skills, I suggest you check your first post for punctuation. "It's" has the apostrophe as it's a contraction of "it is". You've also split an infinitive. I agree with jp's sentiments. Wan*er

    Thanks to the one or two who responded above. How amazing so many got hung up on the term "next month" which was used as a device with which to communicate a genuine enquiry.

    Ladies and gents please! I live outside Lewes currently. However, having slept on many of this counties pavements, I can assure you that having an actual roof over your head is jolly pleasant, even in Cliffe on the 5th. Nighty night.

    I lived in Landport for 10 years and within my small household we have 5 degrees, 2 of which were firsts, 2 postgraduate qualifications. We aren't the only ones. It's a mixed estate with artists, trades people, teachers, the unemployed, shop owners, retirees, ambulance workers, postmen etc etc. It is quiet, friendly, has a mix of housing and very big gardens. For some people though, who probably haven't been beyond the tunnel, Landport in a den of crime, ignorance, unkempt properties etc etc. It's in Lewes for gods sake there are no places to avoid.

    What I can't understand ex-landport is why if you lived 'in' Landport, you have 'within' your small household. Why the 'within'?

    Yeah, I find it really pretentious when people use correct grammar and use words correctly too. Erudite b@stards coming on here with their grasp of the language, p!ss off back to the library or something.

    In what way is 'within' correct rather than an affectation? It has a precise meaning and is not a synonym for 'in'.

    It's not incorrect though in the way it was used and to dislike a touch of floridity in people's speech and mannerisms seems rather boorish. We are blessed with one of the most versatile languages on the planet and it would be a shame if everyone restricted themselves to the most base of usages, no? Double-plus-ungood as someone might once have penned.

    What about people saying 'disinterested' when they mean 'uninterested'? That must get on your nerves.

    Hiya all! As I am looking at the Homemove magazine with a 20 billion to one chance of moving in there, can anybody honestly tell me why Landport Estate has, if at all, got a bad rep? Does everybody vote BNP? Are shell suits still in? 24 hour parties? Is the railway noisy? And does it flood? Hope someone can answer, cheers.

    Sad to see so much negativity and prejudice expressed here over what I experience to be, one of the friendliest areas I've ever lived in in England (Lewes). Why so much fear and hatred people? Can't we just get along? Tree-hugging lentil munchers, shell suit wearing chavs and middle class snobs... we're all decent folk underneath!
    There isn't anywhere I wouldn't like to live in Lewes due to who else lives there. The only ares I'd avoid are the busy roads and high street shops and pubs.
