Crash on Brighton seafront........

[Deano's Right Foot]

Palace Pier.

It is.

 

[the full harris]

Did you know that, actually, for a short time (around the 18th century), it was known as 'Pentonville's Pier'. It was so called because a local businessman called William Pentonville attempted to lease the pier from the parish elders of the time for two months as he wanted to hold auditions for a play he was producing. He had read a book which claimed that actors perform well in waterside locations due to the calming influence that the fluid motion and sound of water evoked. He offered the elders two guineas for use of the pier but they declined saying that they were looking to sell the pier permanently and that they already had a buyer lined up (another businessman called Richard H Noble who later did buy the pier for seven pounds and a shetland pony).

The people of Brighton called it Pentonville's Pier from then on as the attempted purchase tickled their sense of humour.

Its called the Brighton Pier! What are you kids going to call it, "my daddy says its the palace pier" get real and move on.

So? Countries and political parties with the word "Democratic" in their name tend to be nothing of the sort.

It was just a scam by the arsonists who own the Palace to undermine the West Pier before they burnt it down.

Just like the Albion belongs to the fans rather than the shareholders, the Palace Pier belongs to the town, not the crooks that own it and piss around with its real name.

Who gives a flying?

It's not a palace, it's a pier, and it's in Brighton. Therefore it's..

I don't care. What about the fecking accident?

*tch* It turns out that the victim's English wasn't very good so it doesn't matter. Obviously.

 

[Marc]

whats the Worthing Pier called? Worthing Pier? Crystal Pier?

 

[chip]

Palace Pier for me.

Now Shoreham Airport, what name does that go by now?

 

[Brovion]

Palace Pier! People who call it 'Brighton Pier' are either invading Londoners or people who want to suck up to thde invading Londoners. Also the Noble Organisation changed the name and so I'm automatically opposed.

Next they'll be changing the name of the Hungry Years .........

All this local xenaphobia it does not matter where people live were born etc for goodness sake grow up some of you..................................

Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. WHAT'S YOUR USERNAME? As the great Micky Adams once said,
"You can piss off too!"

I think he missed the irony of your post HB&B

Now look what I have started, I only mention that everything seems ok along the seafront now after the accident, whether it's the Palace Scum pier or the Super Brighton pier I don't care. All this just for the "Crash along Brighton Seafront thread"

Next they'll be changing the name of the Hungry Years .........

The Hungry Years... I thought it was so ironic that was changed into a gay venue.

 

[Gazwag]

Does that answer your question?

 

[ShorehamGull]

This argument now continues on another thread

 

[Safeway]

I saw an ad for the Paramount Comedy festival on the side of a bus today and do you know what? The pier in the background of the picture is EASTBOURNE Pier.

However, the main pier in Brighton will always be the Palace Pier to me.

 

[The Large One]

Does that answer your question?

Always used to be Brighton, Hove and Worthing Municipal Airport. But I like the idea of 'Brighton City' Airport, if only they could extend the runway straight through the middle of Perseus' pond sanctuary.

This thread is NSC GOLD and NO MISTAKE.

Actually I didn't know the airport at Shoreham was called Shoreham Brackets Brighton City Close Brackets Airport.
