Newspaper in Crawley
 
Could anyone please advise what is the most popular or best newspaper in Crawley, West Sussex.
I wish to advertise a job in the local paper.

Thanks in advance

I have not lived in Crawley for years but the Crawley Observer always seemed popular and is still around.Sue.

Hi petensue
Thanks for the prompt reply. I am hoping to advertise a job there because the factory where the machines are made is in the Manor Royal industrial area. ( hoping someone from the factory would like the Perth lifestyle !!)

Thanks

Used to live there 5 years ago and at the time the Crawley News and Crawley Observer were the most popular.

There would have to be something wrong with you if you preferred Crawley to Perth.

Thanks for the info. I did like the beer in Crawley though. ( I would go to the factory for training and visit the local every evening. Courage Directors...Yum Yum could do with a couple of pnts at work now!)

Hi

You could also include the Reigate/Redhill papers as I used to live in Horley (next door to Crawley) but we never received Crawley local newspapers because they were Sussex and we were Surrey but a lot of people who live in Horley will be looking for work in Crawley.

Ah ...takes me back!

Also the East Grinstead Courier.

Crawley - home of the worst architecture in England, just my opinion.

One of my colleagues' son and his wife emigrated from Crawley to Queensland. I don't think they lasted six months and are now back in Crawley and very happy. They found out the hard way that family was too important to them to want to be half a world away.

Cool - each to their own. I think it's one of the ugliest towns in the UK but there you go.

Do you remember Kala/Jaydeee from the early days of BE? - she was from Crawley, came out to Geraldton for a while but ended up back in Crawley. Far as I know she's still there and sounded happy enough to be back. As you say, each to their own :)

Hi Sharpy67
Had typed out a long answer but it seems to have got lost. The job is for a technician / engineer in a Radiation Oncology clinic. We maintain and repair the linear acelerators that produce the radiation used to cure cancer. We use Elekta machines and they are made in lovely Crawley. We are l;ooking for someone with experience and training.

Cheers

It's amazing what falling out of love and then falling in love will do to people :D
