Eh? The speed of road travel through Brighton was ruined by the growth in car ownership and, more particularly, by the growth in car use for journeys that can better be made by means other than cars.

Yep. As THPP's post states, the last Brighton tram ran on 1 September 1939, the day that Hitler invaded Poland. I've always thought that this was a bit of an over-reaction, but those Nazis never did have much of a sense of proportion.

Because there are no shops on the seafront and hardly any in West Street. The overwhelmingly popular destinations for shoppers are North Street and Churchill Square itself. People want to get to the main destinations quickly, without the longer journey times that a route via the seafront and...

When I was the Council officer responsible for managing park and ride services in Brighton, we ran a whole week service from Withdean, a Saturday service from Mithras House, and a Christmas service from Saltdean. Clashes with the football schedules made two of these options unstable and the...

... But our enthusiasm for songs from Broadway musicals would almost certainly lead to the provision of a few decent quiches in the catering outlets.

Am I alone in thinking that we are aiming for promotion for its own sake, not because Tony Bloom "deserves" a return on his investment? He's spent his money, for sure, but spending on football is never an investment. It's a way of purchasing the pleasure of owning a football club, no more...

They throw all the trains they have available at the post-match service. Imagine how bad it would be if all they provided was the regular evening service that runs between Falmer and Brighton on other days.

There is something reassuring about a football club that doesn't shout from the rooftops every contract deal that it does with its players. I guess it's part of the togetherness thing.

Brexit?

Hopefully the new Chinese caterers will put a stop to this sort of thing.

Jeez, Dave, you KNOW I was born in Leeds. I DEMAND an apology.

I would like to make it clear that, despite the opinions of many others that I have heard expressed with great vehemence, I have no evidence whatsoever to confirm whether or not Mr Scott McGleish might be a wanker.

Does her new employer think they have dismissed her? My understanding is that, in most circumstances, a fair dismissal has to include a written statement of the reasons for the dismissal and a right to appeal against the decision. Has she been given these? If not, take the matter up with ACAS.

I find it difficult to believe that ANY teacher thinks it makes sense not to be a member of a trade union. There are, after all, plenty to choose from in the teaching profession. Just as an example of one reason for belonging to a union ... How does she imagine that she might defend herself...

Maybe, just maybe, it takes more than chucking money around, if you want to win promotion.

There are two such roundabouts between Bracknell Towers and Falmer (Beddingham and Southerham). I don't think either of them are what would be called "major interchanges". The jet lanes serve single carriageways, not dual carriageways. Neither of them present any difficulties to drivers who...

Modern roundabout design standards incorporate "jet lanes" to segregate traffic on the roundabout and ensure that there is no need to indicate left before leaving the roundabout. Southerham roundabout at Lewes is a good example. The more of these that are built, the more likely it is that...

If you're driving, don't forget your hi-viz jackets ... and don't put them in the boot.

You'll learn a lot more about the Albion by watching when the team is playing badly. Only paying attention when we have gone three goals up teaches nobody anything.
