A Hastings grandmother is set to be Sussex's next internet mogul.

Victoria Seymour, 65, has featured in Saga magazine's internet column just six months after setting up her Hastings local information website.

The column was a springboard to stardom for farmer's wife Sally Robinson, whose Ample Bosom website sold bras for the older lady.

She was featured on national television and has been tipped as a winner in the internet sales war.

Mrs Seymour said she could find similar fame.

She said: "I thought I was over the hill before I got the computer but I was soon loving it."

The weekly column she has written for the site has given her the opportunity to fulfil a childhood dream.

She said: "I wanted to be a journalist when I was a girl and I opted for an early marriage instead, much to my parent's disappointment.

"I'd love to say to them now - 'Look! I'm a journalist!'

"It's brought a sparkle to my life."
