So I've been to Rye, and let me tell you - Rye? It is good. - ThreadSky

My memory of Rye is a school trip in the freezing rain and getting stuck up a church steeple and having to be carried down (I'm scared of heights). So embarrassing.

I haven't been into Rye itself, but you've brought back memories of attending All Tomorrow's Parties out at Camber Sands back in 2002, which was magnificent. I mean, look at that lineup...

Grew up there. It’s fab. Love the stationary shop in particular!

There is a shop in Rye called DIY in Rye and the hill I will die on is that it should instead be called D.I. RYE.

Is this a Denzil reference? If so I heartily endorse it. D. I. Rye!

D.I. Rye is ITV's forgotten classic police procedural series set around Camber Sands and Dungeness.

I endorse this message. Hope you went to The Waterworks, best pub ever.

So I've heard. Did you see the seven seas?

Purrty place. Rye Harbour’s proper nice too, though a bit of a schlepp from the town. Decent pub at the end of it, mind

I understood that!

It had more than a grain of truth to it.

This is that Rye sense of humour we hear about 😄

It's so Rye it's barley perceptible.

Rye is excellent. Keep meaning to go more often. Just a shame we don't have a direct train any more.

I moved there from Belfast in 2010 for no reason at all other than wanting to drink in the Mermaid Inn and go to London on a fast train and it was great
