[Sussex] bash prompts

[Dominic Humphries]

I used to have a fairly-customised one, but several distro changes 
later, most of them fell by the wayside. The only one I found 
indispensable was to put a \n at the start of it so you get a blank line 
between every command, which makes for a much more legible screen if you 
run more than a couple of commands.
