did southwold/whistable/deal/norfolk during lock down. All pretty nice but as soon as you get abroad in a nice beach bar with open walls and a sunny view of the glittering sea the UK becomes a poor second best

I doubt very much they are Russian. More likely from the caucuses or Albania/Kosovo
We've got plenty of IVAN around here (Southend area)... some have some decent moralistic points of view as well...

That's kind of why I said Rye isn't a proper seaside town (in my opinion). Yes it has a harbour where the Rother flows into the sea, but that's quite a way from the town itself which is separated from the coast by miles of marshland.
There's castle nearby built during the time of Henry viii that was once by the sea but is now in the middle of a bloody great field. Wouldn't take much of a sea-level rise to make it "coastal" again. Anyway that's enough of the Rye history/geography lessons for today.

That was one of the arguments for me getting a drum in Lower Belvedere - sooner or later the Thames would be flowing down my frog and I'd have an instant riverside apartment at no extra cost.
Sadly, the Doom Goblin and all her little gnomes are pissing on that idea.

Give it time - Rye will be by the sea sooner or later!

Part of the reason Frinton is seen as nice is because it is next door to Clacton. Put it next door to the majority of Kentish, Sussex and Hampshire coastal areas and it will not stand out.

Frinton is very nice. Cant say I have smelt too much piss there although someone did shit in the phone box at the end of high street earlier in the week apparently.

Isn't Frinton on sea meant to be nice? Or is it just full of piss soaked old people? Bit of a trot though I'd imagine.

If you’re a beach person I’d recommend the Thanet area - avoid Margate as it’s a shit hole. Broadstairs > Ramsgate > Cess pit > Margate. Thanet coastline is immense and Ramsgate has the country’s only Royal Harbour and biggest Spoons !!
Whitstable and Deal are similar, pebble beaches but fairly quaint, nice places with lots of character.

No idea what its like as a place to live, but visited Southampton over the summer and was surprised at how nice of a place it seemed.
Nice town centre, loads of pubs & restaurants, friendly people, very few junkies/beggers by seaside town standards.
1hr 22m by train according to google.

From Folkestone to camber is a microclimate so lots more sunshine year round than most of the UK. Worth noting

Trouble is most of Europe rarely has beach weather during the winter months. Canaries is the only exception, but it's a 4.5 hr flight.

A mate lives in East Sussex and does work in Hastings said crime is high, they've got Russian gangsters drug dealing and such like, I assume they're leading a lower profile since Ukraine war?
