I love Hastings. I learned to ride there. It used to be full of wonderful old second hand book shops; the pier had old penny slot machines and I won a towel at the Bingo. Winkles were second to none. Cliffs were great for scrambling over, and until it went nudist, Fairlight Cove was worth the struggle to get there.


If it's gone Guardian, I shall mourn it.

I'm from Bexhill about 5 miles along the cost from Hastings. Although haven't lived there for about 10 years, I visit family frequently. It depends what you're looking for, but Hsstings is very mixed & has a good local art scene & local musicians frequently play in the pubs there. It's got some nice tea shops & galleries but of course it has a tack-tastic side to, but that's half the shabby charm.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
