I'm now the Lord of the Brighton Manor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I have always liked about Brighton is its impersonality. Since the 18th century, people have come, used the place and gone home again.
Years ago I had a house in Sussex, it was like Arcadia, with an old Victorian bridge, a pond and the Downs.
I have a huge admiration for the House of Lords, I have a huge admiration for the people who work in the House of Lords, they're great public servants and they do an absolutely tremendous job.
I miss Brighton enormously, enormously. There is so much I miss, including rain. I miss the verdant countryside.
In my heart, I'm just a kid from the council houses. I can remember the old cottage and my dad coming round with the tin bath. I'm not a rich man.
I am now a commander of the British Empire.
Brighton gives me the heebie-jeebies. When I'm near the seafront I can't sleep, I can't eat.
I hate going out in Brighton now. It's different in London. People respect you more there.
I was not to the manor born.
I am not going to the House of Lords. Never. That's not who I am. That's not where I am.
