In Rottingdean? Of all places? This is absolutely unacceptable.
I hope that the Police catch these naughty, wicked scoundrels and beat them in a harsh and forceful manner.
Why can’t these people stick to their estates, rather than causing mischief in nice areas?
Estates? WHat are you talking about? This is the exact spot where a guy was hit and killed, so not that nice an area, hey?
Jules, ust because something tragic happened here it does not make it a bad area
I presume you must know the individual them Alan if you know he was from an Estate
