Let's settle this unhereditary pier thing once and for all

[The Large One]

Well, let's put some numbers to this, is it BRIGHTON PIER or PALACE PIER?

Let's have it...

 

[REDLAND]

This should help most of you

its the illuminated part at the top THATS the name

 

[Marc]

Redders, I was just gonna say "How many BLIND People are on NSC?" - everyone who votes "Palace Pier" obviously

 

[REDLAND]

Indeed Crabbers, how can people READ 1 thing then SAY another,

CRAZY

You can't change history ..... it was named the Palace Pier and no amount of marketing crap from the corrupt Noble organisation will change that.

 

[Del Boy]

Its called the Brighton Pier. Its only still know as the Palace Pier because of people like the editor of the Argus will not move with the times and insists on calling it Palace... Strange as they have changed their name from The Evening Argus to "The Argus". Surely if the Local rag which has been around for hundreds of years can change its name the the Pier can aswell.

 

[Marc]

You can't change history .....

so its Brightonhelmstone (or whatever it was) instead of Brighton?

Marathon Bars instead of Snickers aswell?



the list is endless

This should help most of you

its the illuminated part at the top THATS the name

So who still calls Elton John by his original name, times change and so do the names of things, how many shillings will lunch cost me today then?

 

[Man of Harveys]

I think this poll tells its own story...and a big to the arsonist sympathisers

 

[REDLAND]

Thats the old name from back in the day when Brighton was a TOWN,

do you refer to Brighton as a City or Town these days ??

 

[Easy 10]

I've always called it the Palace Pier, and will continue to do so. The fact that they've changed the name is not important enough for me to make a concious effort to call it 'Brighton' pier.

I can't be arsed to change.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

do you refer to Brighton as a City or Town these days ??

Well as The Albion if you must know !

 

[Everest]

But we weren't formed as "Albion"


Where's the "I don't care" option?

 

[Del Boy]

so whats this then?

Thats living in the past. Still drive a horse drawn because that was before cars...

No-one is disputing the fact that The Names Of Things Sometimes Change. That's a very clever observation that has been made. So a big well done all around to those that have noticed that. Quite brilliant.

However, (and read this carefully) sometimes names of things are changed for Bad Reasons, as in this case, so sometimes people choose to call something by its old name. I know, it's a hard concept to grasp...

NO matter what reason it changed namers, The point is that you are never going to stop it being called the Brighton Pier, our children and children's children will be brought up knowing it as the Brighton Pier and its time that it should be accepted.

 

[WATF0RD ZERO]
