Brighton is so, like, over. 2016 is all about Steyning. OK, not all about Steyning. But a bit. Small market towns are where most people want to live these days, and are happiest, said so-and-so\u2019s report the other week. I can believe it. I quite understand why you moved to Brighton.

While cheaper than Brighton, it isn\u2019t, um, cheap.
