The Brighton we now know originates from upper class visitors and transplants starting in the Georgian era. It was many decades later the working class visitors arrived. And now it's the clapped out London middle-classes with their life-style choice of a bigger house, a better school and an...

Agree.

A fair point. It's not the same all over. So if you have an issue with something or someone then maybe move somewhere else in the city; no one thing in the city is city-wide apart from possibly house prices.

Brighton has been popular/over-run by Londoners since the Georgian period though; Londoners have always been an intrinsic part of the city for better or for worse. "Shoreditch-by-sea" is quite fitting I guess.

Or "all of you" should just get over themselves? Hipsters and "benders" are both benign groups and easily avoidable if they're such an issue. Loosen up!

I have previously told Buzzer he's uptight and humourless. This thread is a perfect example.

I don't like to let people down :wink: Same to you fella. All the best for 2016

I agree there isn't anything set in stone. I would say you're a Brightonian for sure. But I think others like Norman Cook are also Brightonians. This is all. PS I'm Brighton born and Newhaven raised. I lived there from 1 until 18.

You got it!

He was in Brighton from the age of 18. He did temporarily live in Hull whilst in The Housemartins but was straight back to Brighton when he left.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. Brighton's founding fathers were all outsiders and visitors who had a certain spirit about them. So, if you come to the city with a similar mindset you're like them and therefore as Brightonian as anyone. Cook definitely is.
