Walking through the main shopping centre of Bognorlast week, the London Road pedestrian walk way is filthy dirty and very unwelcome for visitors.
Cannot understand why the local authority does nothing to clean it up.
Noted the rather dilapidated housing on other streets have been taken over for the homeless and social housing and in view of recently reported drug abuse,street crime being on the increase,will not bother returning until conditions improve.
Horsham is like a paradise by comparison!!

Apropos Bognor Regis,it houses a Butlins, and I can see the Butlins white buildings from my local beach if the visibility is good.My abode is some 11 miles from BR.

I have heard a number of negatives about dear BR - I believe nearby Flansham is far better.

I used to love family holidays to Butlins as a kid, but I can't believe it still exists!

I used to live in Torquay which I think is a bit like Butlins in as much as the people that go there on holiday are mainly those afraid of flying

There are places in the south where if a dog has a tail it's a tourist and the children think knives and forks are jewellery but I shall refrain from naming them in case some hail from these parts and might be offended.

Hi Willo,

It seems as if Bognor is featuring yet again in this thread!!

Regards.

I have been ultra-critical of places in the south but will keep the names to myself for the reasons I have already given.

"Oop north" I have been to places where the seagulls fly backwards to stop soot getting in their eyes so less salubrious areas are spread across the country.

A little suburb of Brighton named Hove has a number of undesirables roaming the streets. I was there on business in the Summer, early evening sitting outside a pub with colleagues, we were constantly being asked for money from what one can only assume drug addicts. The most odd one was a unwashed girl about 20, asking to borrow 95p. An amount which caused amusement, perhaps that was the price of some soap.

I recall an unsavoury incident with a vagrant in Hove, many years ago when this chap approached me as I was devouring some chips.The scruffy chap asked me "Have you got any scraps ?" and before I knew it reached for my chips with his grubby mits.It wasn't long before his jaw made contact with my clenched fist.I'm afraid you get these undesirables all over the country.
