The Alternative Haywards Heath This site about life in Haywards Heath, Sussex, is hoping to be talk of the town. Living in Haywards Heath must be like belonging to a club. Not like a club on Pall Mall, you understand - It wouldn't be exclusive enough - but a secret society sort of club. Think Freemasons without the funny handshakes and architectural deities. Or that's the impression you might get from this site. The biggest problems with the Alternative Haywards Heath is it doesn't welcome you. Quite the opposite. There are in-jokes and comments that you'd only get if you're a resident of the fair town in Sussex, and you feel slightly alienated if you aren't. This starts on the first page. Last year we dealt with a similar page that covered the closed life of a group of commuters on Jeff Jenkins' home page (www.cewap.freeserve.co.uk). This site lets you into that closed world, and they could learn a few lessons from it. To be fair the team provides an entertaining glossary of terms elsewhere on the site. The rest of the site has some good resources for people considering a visit to Haywards Heath. The Tourism Bit section has a map, details of how to find the town and a link to Up My Street, Internet Magazines site of the year. They have also included information on Lindfield, the best kept village in Sussex. The Satiree deals with a mixture of news and nightlife (the two seems to dovetail in this neck of the woods). You'll also find an area dedicated to the Sussex Puma - a seldom seen black beast that prowls the streets of Cuckfield, and a history of Sussex in the 20th Century. The team put this opus together using Front Page and the professionals' favourite Dreamweaver, to clean up the code. The site has had some positive feedback - one visitor emailed him to say they "never knew Haywards Heath was so interesting". Irony is alive and well in Sussex. A satirical site about life in the sleepy town of Haywards Heath could be highly successful. The site could become an online version of BBC 2's League of Gentlemen, with character sketches complementing the excellent glossary. Richard Dinnick Internet Magazine March 2000
