On my way back the other evening from a meeting of the Southern Landlords’ Association, I was killing time at the bus stop by gazing into the windows of the Cowley Club in London Road. There are always useful self-help notices there, such as “How to find your Empty Property for a Successful Squat” or “What to Say to the Police when You are Arrested.” A youngish man standing at the bus stop saw my interest and came over. Soon we were chatting away, but when he suddenly smiled and asked me if I had time for a drink I almost spluttered.

L7 is searching for a new local voice – and it’s providing a fascinating opportunity to find out what’s on your minds. Over the last two months we have been printing some of the submissions. First out of the post bag this week… Sarah Charsley, 34, Brighton

Six happy years in Brighton and eight homes. Each move consisting of both packing up then unpacking my belongings. By my math that means I’ve moved my belongings in and out of a van 16 times. Parents, friends, friends of friends and van drivers have helped me move from pillar to pier. I have lived in most areas of our city. Studenty Lewes Road. Middle class Seven Dials. Vertically challenging Hanover. Lord knows how you would go about my credit history check.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
