Yep it only took them 40 years, probably more through being an embarrassing stain on our seafront, complaints from the residents and the lesson learnt from the West Pier burning into the sea. The Beach Boys played on the Bandstand just before it closed. Video below which included the West Pier...

Brighton used to be a great town and built at the height of the Regency and Victorian era when anything was considered possible. Unfortunately once we hit the 60’s corruption and incompetence set in. We lost our ice skating rink and the Brighton Tigers, and then the Brighton Bandstand sat...

Yep Hove Town Center is a good size. The Brighton coastline stretches 4 miles and so does Hove's coastline. The boundary is the Peace Statue and most visitors do not realise when they are in Hove see below: Viewing Brighon from Hove Viewing Hove from Brighton

May have to be ironed out a bit but where necessary the tel code change from 01323 to 01273 could be done. I'm only thinking that the Shoreham Lewes and Newhaven triangle would make a significant city and they generally all contain the 01273 code.

Agree it has got very messy and if anything all of the areas with the dialing code of 01273 should run by one authority. Hence why I feel the City of Lewes would have been easier to say and would have covered a larger area, therefore more significant.

I wouldn't dispute this, Brighton doesn't have many Brightonians living in it nowadays, at least not in Central Brighton.

Yep I did embellish my comment. Portslade used to be called Copperas Gap and Hove used to just be a street. Really though, the City is made up of Brighton, Hove & Portslade, but my original point was that the City of Brighton & Hove (& Portslade) should never have happened because they still...

Portslade was a village originally, so my only point was it was never a town. Portslade Village is called the South Portslade Ward, and Mile Oak Village is the North Portslade Ward.

To be fair Portslade wasn't even a town.

Unless a home birth most babies from around these parts are born in Brighton at the RSCH, so technically they are Brightonian. So Hovians or Hovites can be of dual township.

Brighton is full of transients and you will find that the majority of true Brightonians actually live in Hove. Brighton is to Hove what Butlins is to Bognor Regis. And we can park in Hove as well.

Steady on, I seem to remember Brighton United having to use the cricket ground in Hove, and then if it wasn't for Hove FC allowing a ground share at the Goldstone there would be no Brighton in BHAFC. The way I see it Hove has baby sat Brighton in the football world.

Slightly different for a football team than a city name. Even with both towns stuck together we are still a tiny city. If we came under the City of Lewes we would stretch out to Newhaven and further into Mid Sussex.

No, they council always see and use Brighton as their playground and haven't got a clue about Hove. They are now talking about a Greater Brighton so it shows what idiots run the place. Also we should never have been a partnership with a double barreled city name and if anything, if we wanted to...
