    I absolutely love Brighton, it is a magical place,I lived there in the sixties,I have visited there all my life from the age of six.we still go there for days out.The people are such a crazy lovely mix,there is nothing I enjoy more than sitting outside a pub “people watching,”I never get bored from doing that.The only time we noticed a change in the upkeep of Brighton was when the Green Party took over( did not expect it,but Brighton suddenly became dirty and scruffy.)let’s hope it gets better again now,❤️Chrissy

    I used to live in Brighton in 70s while I was studying in Sussex between 1975 and 1979 . Great town and the brightionions are the best people in england. Each time i visit England I make sure to visit Brighton, though all my classmates are gone however i enjoy visiting Brighton, and some of the people are still there .
    It is like my second home, i spent my youth in Brighton, now i wish i could spent my retired life in Brighton.

    Brightonian here.
    I grew up in Aldrington (pronounced All-dring-ton).
    The cafe on Portland Rd you mentioned used to be a tile shop and friends of mine lived above it.
    Wasn’t anywhere near as trendy around there as it is now.
    Temple bar is nice, shame they got rid of the pool tables though.
    2:32 - A family friend that has known me since I was a small child is in this shot and he was also immortalised in a painting by local artist Dan Lish that sold recently.
    3:09 - Gardener St.
    My uncle had a record store just there on the right where the pasty shop is now (pasty on facia just on shot).

    Brighton is an amazing town! There are so many dreadful things about the dump, but the pretentious people who live there just can't see the wood for the trees! The drugs, the graffiti, the litter, the council, the parking, the traffic, the beach, the grotty housing, the beggars, the list is endless. Its only "desirable" and expensive because its an hour from London! Bath is the town Brighton could have been, but instead, its beautiful georgian buildings, have become squalid bedsits, surrounded by ravenous seagulls feasting around the communal street bins, during the annual summer bin strike!
    Enjoy, I lived there for 50 years, and thankfully escaped, never to return!😂

      Yeah great it’s the only cash handling business i know that hand their customers a credit note rather than make change. Of course you never get to spend it. Take a taxi, it actually costs less including a tip. If i’m going to spend ten pounds on a bus fare, you got to rip me once you will never get me twice. Covid paid off and they are doubtless getting it to pay off still to this day.
