the problem with Brighton is its got a big party scene but doesn’t seem to have much in the way of paying work for day jobs and is very much geared towards 20 something students. Been there a couple of times and know of various eco-groups based there but always wondered “what do you folk do for work there?”

I do sometimes buy ICT kit from companies in that area who have enthusiastic young staff but they don’t always seem as business focused as the older lot from Essex who also compete for the business. OTOH there is still a lot of work in EA for those prepared to do it..
