I'm off to a restaurant tonight described on their website as being in the 'South Lanes'. I've noticed more people using this term recently, and find it a bit annoying, it's always been just the Lanes to me. Maybe i'm just becoming a pedantic boring old fart . .
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

I guess, as a description, it helps out those who are not local to find places

if it's in the south part of the lanes then fair enough, otherwise i'd be tempted to go all pedantic on their asses

It's RETARDED.
A term dreamed up by OUTSIDERS who seem to think there is some kind of correlation between NORTH LAINE and THE LANES when of course THERE IS NOT.
I've lost track of the number of times I've gotten arsey about this, correcting morons who know no better only to be told "whatever".
NO NOT "WHATEVER", f***ing LEARN YOU IGNORANT OUTSIDER f***. PLAY BY OUR RULES OR f*** OFF BACK TO RUSSIA

I do all my shopping in North Laines.

Why would a Londoner want to go to Russia ?
No you don't. You do your shopping in North Laine.
Your restaurant is in The Lanes, which is the medieval part of Brighton. North Laine is in the Victorian part of Brighton and refers to field system which was in place there.
I don't do a lot of shopping in the North Laines myself but I do drink in quite a few pubs there. Same goes for the South Laines.

People nowadays always have to tamper and change things. I'm proud of the fact that I lived in Newick Road, South Falmer.

I've never seen so many people get precious about a bunch of roads before. Anyway, I'm off out - think I might have a stroll along Brighton Pier

Didn't there used to a restaurant just off Pool Valley called Krakatoa?
Probably. And you should care, else why bother to reply to the thread?
