Woman who calls her kids Atticus and Oswald sneers at city shocker.
Annie Nightingale is Brighton born and bred. She went to the same school as my mother. That's a tad unfair Bozza.
*just checked her wiki page. Now, my mum swears Annie went to Varndean and was there when she was. My old dear was born in 36 so it's possible...
artfully accesorise with old lobster pots and bouys
Again it looks like I'll be in the minority, but I can't wait to get out of Brighton.
I can't think of much going for the City.
Cons:
Sky high house prices.
Sky high rental prices.
Big homeless problem.
Big drugs problem.
The roads have become a nightmare.
Violent and Sexual crimes have risen in the past 3 years in Central Brighton.
Trains.
Dog crap and huge amounts of litter all over the place.
Hipster problem.
Pro's:
By the sea.
BHA & The Amex.
You could argue The Lanes but beggars/homeless every 20 meters asking for train fare or money for dog food etc ruin it for me.
Don't worry, I'll be gone in 6 months.
Annie Nightingale is Brighton born and bred. .
so you are going somewhere better?
Yes, in my opinion.
But where I'm off to, you may slate based on your experiences, but I'd call one of the best cities in the world.
Horses for courses and all that.
but where exactly?
It gets worse......
The proposed smoking ban in Brighton and Hove’s beaches and in parks could also be extended to the outside of pubs and restaurants.
The consultation questionnaire that was published last week includes separate questions covering the outside seating areas of both types of venue.
Any ban would not be enforceable by law. But the council is keen to find out whether the public have an appetite for further smoke-free eating and drinking.
If so, officials are likely to work with pub and restaurant owners and operators to encourage them to bring in their own extra restrictions.

As a non-smoker, married to a smoker, I already spend chunks of the night sitting on my own guarding her drinks..... if she has to wander half way across the city to find somewhere she is allowed to smoke, we may as well not bother going out!
interesting
hope you like it
People that want to ban things like to think they are superior and strive to impose their own narrow views on everyone else.
