<p>Reading Classics Illustrated comics in the car outside the pub was our 4 week annual holiday treat. It saved me reading the actual books at Uni. What with 3-4 pubs/day for a couple of hours each you could get through the complete works of Dickens easily in a summer. I remember well The Tale of Two Hunchbacks of Monte Cristo.</p> -

<p>It's amazing we ever got anywhere on family trips when we were kids. We always stopped there on our way north and it's not even an hour from Hastings. </p>

<p>Rugby club rooms were the best though. Same as pub, raspberry and lemonade/chips, but you got to play with a bunch of your rugby mates at the same time.</p> -

<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">A local child is said to be "disappointed" at the complete lack of wheels on her newly-purchased brown toy car. "My mum took a photograph of it (see below) next to my favourite green car. Compared to my favourite green toy car, this one hardly moves at all" said little Erin Speedy. "I have to push it and push it but it hardly even zooms along the floor at all." </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;">Ms Speedy revisited the toy store to inform a sales clerk that "my new toy car leaves this funny little sludgy oily trail and doesn't appear to have any wheels." Their reply? "That's because it's leaking pretend transmission fluid. Keep pushing it around the floor, shithead."</span></span></p>
