I had an aged and highly respected aunt who lived in Bognor Regis. She was in fact the last survivor of her generation and a much revered member of the family. Until she died earlier this year well into her 90s, she was always rabbiting on in her plummy (we would call it "North Shore") accent about how delightful Bognor was and how I should visit her there.
I suspect now she may have been fibbing
.
SP, you have utterly destroyed my impression of the place and undermined my respect for my aunt.
In short, it's great to see things returning to normal around here!
