What does Steine actually mean?

[Trufflehound]

Isn't there a South Steine in Sydney?

There's lots of Steinlagers in New Zealand.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Goldstein Ground? Jewish sponsors?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

New Steine is SHIT, it's all about the old skool OLD steine


And the reason these youngsters are calling it the STINE is all down to old Frank-in-Steine's confusing everyone

Frank confuses a lot of people, but he does a good sandwich.

The place was more convenient before it became a caff, though.

You mean when it was for drug dealers?

 

[Bluejuice]

I think he is talking about it being a public conveniences prior to the deli it purports to be today.

Anyway hasn't it changed its name since the owner got banged up?

 

[Les Biehn]

Are Steine and Steyne 2 different things?

 

[Les Biehn]

Convienient for food, shiting and gurns. It like something out of an Ellroy novel, the place just needs to get shot up now.

 

[Birdy]

I work in the Old Steine & whilst we have our address as Old Steine, the solicitors next door have their address as Old Steyne with a different post code... No idea why though!

I work on the Old Steyne next door to some solicitors. How very queer.

 

[Birdy]

Wonder why the 2 different spellings are used? I'm guessing two different types of old 'english' & that it depends on the firm at the address to choose which version to use.

That's probably what confuses the posties & explains why our mail goes missing so often!

I was going to ask about this, the solicitors who are the management agents for my luxury Mid Sussex mansion have their address as Old Steyne, Brighton.

Always thought they were just being pretentious.

 

[Gully]

I went to school in Steyning, might that place have derived its name from some sort of Steyne/Steine?

Maybe "steyning" is some sort of illegal activity undertaken by people on the margins of society - possibly connected with street drinking, which seems to be very popular in the area?

 

[withdeanwombat]

Let he who is without syn cast the first steyne.

Phyllis.

 

[The Large One]

Up Kemp Town, off St James Street.

It's off St James's Street, but not in Kemp Town.

 

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

Isn't there a South Steine in Sydney?

That's a ship ( docked in Darling Harbour ) .
There's a pub named The Steyne in Manly near The Corso .

 

[Yorkie]

Also who gave Southern trains the right to change MossCOOM to MOLESCUM.

That makes me mad whenever I hear it.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Station announcements at Lewes always used to be made by a man who knew how to pronounce New'AVEn and SeaFORD. The machine people call these places NEWhaven and SEAf'd.

It's a disgrace.

But, but, but... I've always called them NEWhaven and SEAf'd. Oooh dear me.

Still, it's not as bad as some local newsreaders who I've heard pronounce the dwelling of Southwick, Steyning and Lewes as Suthick, Stay-ning and Loos.
