Haywards Heath: An Ideal Place for Commuters

April 23rd, 2013

Situated in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, Haywards Heath is a town which lies 12 miles north of Brighton and Hove, 36 miles south of London and 15 miles south of Gatwick International Airport.

Many residents of Haywards Heath are commuters, who make their daily journey by train to London, Gatwick and Crawley on the Brighton Main Line, which runs from Brighton to London. Haywards Heath is also an ideal place for road commuters since the A272 runs through the centre of the town which links to the A23 road which runs to Brighton southwards and London northwards.

Properties in RH18 are particularly attractive to commuters since the price of houses and flats is much lower than in London, and people who work near Victoria station spend just as much of their day on the train to work as many who live in London do. As well as being well connected to London, there is the added benefit of being situated close to Brighton & Hove, with its great pubs, bars, nightclubs, museums, arts festivals and beach, as well as the glorious South Downs, which offer great days out in the country for families, couples and cyclists. This makes it an ideal spot to live for those who want to have London wages, the benefits of being in Sussex mentioned above for the weekend and somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of London and Brighton to live during the week.

What Makes Something the Best in the World?

April 18th, 2013

Anyone who experienced the recent performances put in from Usain Bolt can surely have no arguments that the Jamaican athlete is the best in the world when it comes to 100 and 200 metres sprinting. However, many people and organizations claim to be the best without necessarily having a way to quantify their claim.

So what really makes something or someone best? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, best when used as an adjective is defined as the most excellent or desirable type of quality or the most suitable, appropriate or sensible. And when used as a noun, best is defined as the most excellent or desirable, the highest standard one can reach or a record performance.

When Angela Smith, the Minister for the Third Sector, said that Britain’s charities and voluntary organisations were the best in the world, these specific definitions may or may not have been met but there is certainly an argument that Angela Smiths comments are true based on some impressive facts. Facts including that 73% of UK adults take part in volunteering or that 78% of people give to charity – the highest level of giving in Europe.
