With Gordon Brown's surprising announcement to suddenly celebrate being British, I think we here in Sussex and all the other areas of England should celebrate our counties.
I believe Yorkshire has August 1 as its county day. How about Sussex designating October 14 as ours?
This was the day we lost the Battle of Hastings and I think it is high time we remembered that, despite the tragic loss, Sussex is still the home of the South Saxons and always will be. In fact, why don't we bring together a group of people who wish to help keep Sussex as Sussex? Perhaps we could call them The Knights of Sussex.
These people could help underpin our local society by travelling around the county, doing charity work where needed and perhaps even helping to address roblems we have with some of our young people.
