One story sure to stir debate is the row brewing over the status of Maidenbower.
Some of its residents, rather grandly, refer to it as 'Maidenbower village'. They don't want to be part of Crawley, they are better than that, of course.
A few Crawley-ites, understandably I would say, have taken offence to this and used the web to hit back at the slur on their town.
Fact is, if you live in Maidenbower you live in one of Crawley's 13 neighbourhoods. Like it or not, made in Maidenbower means made in Crawley. Is that really something to be ashamed of?
The people of Maidenbower, quite admirably, are proud of their neighbourhood, but if they think they live in a village then they clearly suffer from the Egyptian disease.
They are in De Nile.
