I was born in Eastbourne in 1952 and lived there till I was 16...It has changed a lot since then of course. I used to find the ageing population unsympathetic to a teenage boy growing up in the 60s so left for the Big City as soon as I could...I have been back from time to time and appreciate the beauty of the town more and more. I'm thinking of moving back there and this short video is the best I have seen on KZbin. Thanks for posting......

I feel very fortunate to have been born in Eastbourne, It was indeed a wonderful place to live and grow up in. I lived here from 1960 to 1999, before moving to California where my second wife is from. I've visited back a few times and sincerely hope to make it back again in the future.

If it’s anything like other seaside towns in the UK, most of those grand hotels, built for hard-working, law-abiding, British people and families, will now be full to the rafters with illegals, fleeing northern France, now living the Life of Riley at British taxpayers’ expense. An excellent video.

@@jonmould2946 calling human beings rubbish is a seriously sociopathic level of cruelty that I cannot even understand. Maybe because my parents are immigrants, I cannot view people in that way. I can't imagine you're going to understand how to humanise people you actively dehumanise and view as objects. Nothing about that observation smacks of gentlemanliness at all so it's churlish to expect something from them that you yourself cannot deliver. You have no idea whether or not they are gentlemen. You don't know them personally. I don't know what the 'hellhole' part of London is for you. You would have to be more specific. Where and why?
