JK2006	Latest on Gustave... as usual, Mother Nature manages to false step humanity. We're always ready for it when it doesn't happen, never when it does.
Mart	All I recall about Eastbourne, to be honest, is not being able to park anywhere near the little theater there and they used to have a brilliant studio which I think was called ICC. I think your are right though Denise, if a major storm hit Sussex it would probably swell over the South Downs and Kent is probably more likely to suffer the worst.
Denise	Eastbourne is a nice place. I'm not sure if a hurricane would hit Sussex with full force because it would have to cross other land to get there. If it came from Europed then the channel isn't big enough for it to rebuild strength, and east and west would mean other parts of Britain got the main impact. But I'm no expert. I see Gustav has reduced to a Cat 3 storm now, so hopefully New Orleans can survive the encounter.

I must dig out our feature on K-Paul's restaurant there in Ent USA. I've got a VHS version of this! It was a comercially released video. Was there only the one edition to be released on tape?
Mart	Actually talking about the Sussex part of the world, can one imagine a hurricane hitting Seaford? It would simply be wiped out, there is no way the sea defences would hold anything back at all from the town and once you get past the seafront, most of the town from what I recall is below sea level. There was a great Neil Tennant song in the 80`s called "It Couldn`t Happen Here", with many Kings Cross station references, I always found it spooky that the song seemed to depict what did happen there 6 mths later, although it was probably not what he might have meant. I think us 60`s born people, were all brought up with the "it won`t happen" attitude. Sadly, it does.
