The Jewel in the Crown
The jewel in the crown. That's Arundel. No, really. Forget about Queen Victoria and India, we mullets (oh, alright, I'm not really a mullet because true 'mullets' need to be born here) are the keepers of the true jewel. I have that on no finer authority than the Daily Telegraph itself.

Property market: Britain's top 10 country towns
Small market towns are becoming increasingly desirable, as much for their natural beauty as their shops and schools. Caroline McGhie seeks out the best, and finds Arundel the jewel in the crown.
Arundel, West Sussex. The jewel in the country-town crown. "It is trendy, picturesque, arty, cosmopolitan, and feels like a village," says Molly Miles, of Cluttons. Arundel crowns a hilltop overlooking the Arun estuary, a dreamy cookie-cutter skyline created by the Norman castle which was owned for centuries by the Dukes of Norfolk.
"Older residents are called Mullets, like the fish, and newer ones tend to be musicians, artists, single divorced women who want somewhere fun and safe to live," says Molly. Londoners have been gravitating towards it like bees to honey since the early 1990s.
