Life moves slowly in Hove so I have only just caught up with the New Yorker for April 19.
We are often told by the Council we are a funky hot-spot on the world stage, as if Broadway led directly to Palmeira Square.
But what, in fact, is the view of us from Manhattan? In this issue, Anthony Lane writes that Hove is a "small town on the south coast of England to which the elderly have retired, there to stagger through tempests of ozone-rich breeze".
I am not sure about the "stagger" but I cannot help but feel that, from a distance of 3,000 miles, Mr Lane has a truer perspective on Hove than our deluded council.
