    MTV2 has a sexually Flash animated one (www.mtv2.co.uk), but a sarcastic one would be www.worthing.co.uk

    He he, Anita Roddick will make you go commando styley wearing nothing but face-packs and grass pants

    The Body Shop is in bloody Littlehampton anyway, scum suckers!!
    *ahem, one year????

    I like this...
    Amberley Industrial Museum (12 miles)
    Arundel Castle (10 miles)
    Chilsdown Vineyard (28 miles)
    English Martyrs Catholic Church. Sistine Chapel ceiling replica (1 mile)
    Fulking Escarpment (8 miles)
    High Salvington Windmill (1 mile)
    Leonardslee Gardens (22 miles)
    Parham House (12 miles)
    Petworth House (20 miles)
    Steyning Village (6 miles)
    The Body Shop Factory Tour (6 miles)
    St Mary's House, Bramber (7 miles)
    Weald & Downland Open Air Museum (28 miles)
    Wildfowl & Wetlands (11 miles)
    Note how you actually have to go outside the town to find anything to do!!

    Lots of pubs apprantly though:

    Quiet and cosy, loud and lively - there are so many pubs in Worthing, you could well end up staggering from one to another.

    Well if thats the criteria, then this gives me the pure *****s - the anally fixated company I work for

    http://www.smbcgroup.com

    Funnily, when they mergered to form SMBC, they didn't investigate whether the new acronym had already been used as a domain name, thus:

    www.smbc.com

    has proved to be an embarrassing ****-up

    BTW, Gaffer, when I was in London I stayed in a nice Warehouse flat along Shad Thames, so that was quite near you I guess.

    Yeah just over Tower Bridge, it was a nice little walk to work (to Marshalls).

    Those babies are going for 500-750 a week now. You can't buy for less than 400K

    I feel like getting a shepherd cottage in Orkney and growing cabbage for a living

    This is where I used to live

    See if you can guess where that is. The river is the Thames, the blue thing on the middle-left is a DLR/BR station and that big green thing is a certain park with a certain 0 degrees longitude running through that building in the middle of it...

    Check out the map-overlay, that's really
