People who call Brighton "B-town"

Jesus. WHY the f*** would you WANT to mislead people to believe you went to Winchester College?

Because they are impressionable tossers, and it's always amusing to see such people impressed by something that isn't, in fact, impressive. Especially when it's not true.

Its a C & H town and up the bum town.

A curry is a Bert Murray to me, because of the ex Albion player in the early 70s.

Is it B-town because of The Wire and referring to Baltimore as B-More?

Its just students trying to be trendy and something that has ridiculously caught on. Makes me cringe, as do people who call Chichester "Chi" and Eastbourne "The Bourne"

Just wrong

It's like Bournemouth - B'Muff or even worse up here The Hudd - Huddersfield

I started to use the term some time between 1998-2001, yes, while I was at university. I borrowed it from American's who referred to Chicago as C-town. In my defense I have only ever used it as in in-joke with my friends (who aren't from B-town).

Thankfully I have never heard this, and I hopefully I never will.

Quite frankly, anyone who needs to abbreviate Brighton can f*** right off.
