Opal Fruits weren't Starburst, Jif wasn't Cif and The Ritz Cinema in Seaford wasn't a f***ing Morrisons!

 

[skipper734]

Blatchington School/ Nevill or whatever it's called now, was allotments and Hove County Grammar School. Before your list, Brighton Station Car Park (nobody had cars) a railway manufacturing and repair site, a Fyffes distribution center and a BMW Isetta assembling factory.
There were Lanes but no Laines.
You could fill a whole page...........

Bollocks was 'Fiveways Village' Hollingdean.

Granted the 'village' bit is silly, but at least try for once to get your geography straight.

Rubbish of course it was . For goodness sake man, must you spout such drivel.

Brighton was Brighton and Hove actually was Hove.

Your ignorance and snobbery knows no bounds.

Come back when you've realised what you're on about.

Actually, scratch that - don't come back at all.

Merry Christmas, you appalling little man.

Blimey, I didn't know we had a George the eleventh?

Anyway, The Seagulls were the Dolphins, or were we still the Seasiders then.

And we used real money, tanners, 'apennies, 10bob notes. 2 bob for a light and bitter in the Woodz in Worthing. Oh the good old days.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Brighton Marina - Black Rock

 

[Daffy Duck]

Waitrose used to be the Curzon cinema.

 

[Dick Head]

Circus Circus was the Stanford Arms, Park Crescent Health Centre was the Race Hill Inn, the Mash Tun was the Volunteer, Charles Street was the Hungry Years, the Thomas Kemp was the Burlington, the Blind Tiger was the Norfolk, the Hobgoblin was the Northern Hotel etc. etc.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Why all the extra full stops?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Boots superstore, Clock Tower was the Regent Ballroom
The top side of Churchill Square was Western Road
The Vogue Gyratory was home to The Gaiety Cinema

And we rode around the town on Trolley Buses....

What's the ice rink now?


+ Fiveways is Fiveways not Hollingdean.
Everything East of Hollingbury park avenue & Hollingbury road and North of Upper Hollingdean road is Hollingdean.

I remember being told that the Jolly Brewer pub, with the Pivillion style domes on top was the old gates to Hollingbury - think that was pre-car tho?

Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
