Not a plaice that’s easily fished
I'm 55 years Brighton born and bred and I really couldn't give a toss. Now f*** off.

It's because we are under the radar, obviously 
I’ve read every post. I understood most of them. There’s a common denominator in those I didn’t.
WTF is going on? I have no clue what I’m supposed to be outraged about.

In another thread I read a Swiss village has also disappeared. Where next?
Can't believe I've clicked into this thread TWICE.

More to the point, how are we going to fix this? Not sure what we need to fix but I do like fixing things.
Think we need to start at the beginning. Is it Wikipedia, Reddit, or Google Earth/maps?

I think the problem is the font of Brighton in Google Maps is very small. In fact 'KEMPTOWN' is larger, as is Stanmer, Lewes and even Plumpton.
I'd never noticed it, but I'm not sure I have time for this outrage thing. During the day I have my head stuck in Excel spreadsheets and in the evening I just like to have a cup of tea and look at old bus routes.
Meanwhile poor old Peacehaven appears on only two road signs…. Two!!

I support Brighton but originally came from a village in the north of the county- which has a larger font. I'm fine with that.

Even worse, in Saltdean there is a sign saying 'Welcome to Brighton & Hove' and the East Sussex sign is three houses further on. Imagine the identity crisis those kids who live in said houses must have, forget genders.
This is outrageous.
People should have far more warning that they're at risk of entering Peacehaven.
I support Brighton but originally come from Devon. I so want to be angry about this but still haven’t worked out what it is I am supposed to be angry about. Which makes me angry.

I struggle with getting angry generally. So this one will take a lot of effort. Given that I'm not over the Franco stitch up that cost Cliff Richard the Eurovision Song Contest in 1968, it may be better that I avoid the stress of this one.
Don’t panic, they work well, they’re both in Newhaven so you’ve still got the option of going to Brighton via the A27 through Moulsecoombe
