Us Sussex folk are a special bunch - and don't we just know it.
From our bonfire celebrations and Brighton Pride, to our picturesque villages and spectacular castles, we have much to be proud of – all while enjoying more sunshine than anywhere else in the U.K.
These are the 18 things you'll only understand if you come from Sussex.
. Brighton Pier

. Stoolball
Invented in Sussex and unheard of in much of Britain, Stoolball dates back to the 15th century and includes elements of cricket, baseball and rounders. Photo: STEVE COBB
. The Bluebird Cafe
Only locals are able to easily find the popular Bluebird Cafe in Ferring. Discovering the car park is even more difficult, leading to many unplanned walks down the beach. Photo: Steve Robards
. Worthing Lido
Those who grew up in Sussex will have fond memories of when Worthing Lido had a swimming pool - it's now boarded over. Some may even remember when you could go and see dolphins there. Photo: JPI Media
. Twitten
If you know what a twitten is then you're certainly a local. Most people from outside Sussex will be baffled by the word. It's defined as a narrow path between two walls or hedges, especially on hills. Photo: JPI Media
. Place name pronunciation
