Hello from sunny old bognor regis

Hello all new to this forum saw it recommended on chillis galore. As you may have guessed i grow lots of chillies but am braching out (pardon the pun) to other areas. I have a homegrown absinthe project just underway and restoring the garden in the house were renting off the wifes parents and making something of it hopefully ill manage to pick up some helpful advice etc from this friendly looking forum!!

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner James.

I was in Bognor a few weeks back.

 

Thanks for the welcome!! Were you visiting our well known holiday park?

 

Welcome into GC James.
It must be quiet now Ziggy's left Bognor.

 

Cheers for the welcome guys, bognors never really quiet as such but usually all we hear are the sounds of eastern europe

 

Oo no, wouldn't go near that, I remember when that was a small building with a paddling pool out the front.

Pity how they've destroyed the Victorian Town & turned it into an Eastern European Suburb, still, thats progress I suppose.

 

We cross posted there James, but i'm glad its not just me thats noticed it.

Chichester sold you out.

 

Severe and dramatic Degradation i think would be more appropriate lol :D

 

Oh yes i agree, poor considering were the one with the "royal" town name.

 

Do you remember the immaculate Gents Loo opposite the pier?

Lovely ceramics & every last bit of copper & brass pipework lovingly polished by the attendant.

All ripped out now & replaced with stainless steel

 

Unfortunately no. only relocated here 7 years ago from the lovely midlands. I know theres still lots of hidden treasures around here though if ya know where to look. Next time your down this way if you haven't already, you should try the binsted woods walk some really hidden treasures there from the old monestry or whatever used to be there?? Theres also a spitfire under the water in the lake there and when the water tables are low its easily visible

 

Apropriate for this weekend, I found this Diamond Jubilee Pendant near the pier with the kettle detector in the 1970's



Queen Vic would be turning in her grave if she could see whats happened to "Dear little Bognor"

Incidentally, i'm selling the pendant for £10 inc p&p.
