I'm a Londoner myself, North to be specific, from what you may call a 'rough' area... So I'm really looking forward to living somewhere a little more pleasant, and a lot less shifty, which is the impression I get of Sussex and Brighton.
But does anybody have any first hand experience? Is it pretty safe and uneventful living there? I'd love to spend a few years somewhere where 'nothing ever happens', it'd be a nice change for sure.
