Horsham

He was experiencing a psychotic break, and it was all in his head.

I'm a thirty-year-old male, and I live in Horsham, England.

I have a two-year-old dog, and I take him out for a walk every morning around five thirty AM before I head off to work.

One December morning, my alarm went off, and it was time to take my dog, Yoshi, out for his walk.

I used to think you'd have to go to some far-flung country to see amazing, colourful wildlife, but I didn't actually realise I could see some pretty cool birds right on my doorstep.

And then I sort of asked my mum if we could go to my local nature reserve, Warnham Local Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex.

Prior to all that happening, I was big into street dance.

So music, street dance, doing that every weekend.

Your 25-year-old young man in the streets of Tehran today has more in common with a 25-year-old in Horsham than maybe they do with their own parents.

Yes.

They again have shed off the cultural norms.

Where do we find you today, Chris?

I'm working at home today in West Sussex, Horsham, West Sussex.

So a day working from home.

Nice.

Welcome to the Sunday Morning Podcast from Kingdom Faith Church in Horsham.

Good morning, everyone.

For those of you who don't know who I am, or don't know a family, Pastor Kevin and I, I thought it might be helpful for you to have a little introduction to who we are as a family.

Hello, panel.

Um, I'm Lisa, and I'm from Horsham in West Sussex, and I wanted to ask the panel, do you have a song or piece of music that you associate with a particular plant or a garden or-

or-Or you simply use to inspire you to get out in the garden.

Do you have one, Lisa?

In fact, they never knew and will have to wait for longer.

I'm focusing on West Sussex because my conversation in this episode is with John Milne MP, MP for Horsham.

And what's interesting about this conversation is that John was already asking some fairly fundamental questions about the legitimacy of local government reorganisation.

John is the Liberal Democrat MP for Horsham, and before entering Parliament he was a district and county councillor in West Sussex, and before that he spent much of his career as an advertising creative director.

And his position is interesting because he makes the distinction between the two things that many people get confused about.

Devolution, he welcomes.

And he is worried that local assets such as theatres, parks, community facilities and other things that matter enormously to individual towns will become small items on a balance sheet of a much bigger organisation.

A lot of this is why some of the arguments against the decisions that have been made are out there, and potentially why government is having to take stock.

Bertie the beaver, yeah.

I took a penalty shootout as Bertie the beaver against Howie the Hornet at Horsham last season.

I've been there scraping snow off the pitch to try and get games on.

I've been... arranging sponsorship with the brilliant uh fuck mob uh who were sponsored for two years um love great people there you get football and so it was really good to bring someone of that standing to like a non-league football club in southwest london um i've done so much uh the the raffle half time the the kids penalty shootout half time i've loved every bit of it and i have taken a step back literally in the last week a couple of weeks to be honest because it getting older i'm getting uh fc camisa was taking a lot and when you when you freelance as well which i am and i've done a few more bits freelance you you need the energies and like i said i'm getting a bit older and so i've taken a step back and also the club seems to be in in fairly safe hands after again unfortunately having a couple a season or two of some pretty um pretty disappointing owners who did not deliver what they promised but um The club this year has just had their pitch turned into, so the new owners that followed them, the less successful owners, shall we say, followed that up and invested heavily and turned it into, or make it a proper community club.

But Hampton Court's amazing.

And then come and watch some football.

But also that, there's Hamworth Villa, there's, Met Police, there's Walton and Horsham, there's all these other teams in the area as well.

Anywhere you go, get the Footballogy app and open it up, you will find football somewhere, won't you?

Could you tell the listeners a bit about yourself, please?

Sure, I'm Italian in the sense my dad was from Rome, but my mom is from Horsham in West Sussex.

They met in Italy in the 1960s during La Dolce Vita.

I've worked primarily in education on the kind of audiovisual side.
