Cheers, King George VI Avenue?
I have heard of Snakey Lane, it's the lane that runs from Preston Park Station to Tongdean Lane.

I was born in Pompey and moved here in 1981, so I can answer the majority of the questions on this thread. I have BHA tattooed to my forearm, am I an honorary Brightonian?

Brightonians have tuaca as their short of choice.
Brightonians don't do the Brighton Festival. (oh, we always promise ourselves we will but...)
Brightonians get that smug feeling walking up London Road on a hot sunny Sunday afternoon past all the Londoners queueing up right back to the Pavilion to get on the A23.
Brightonians do not count seeing Preston/Chantelle, Jordan/Peter Andre or Chris Eubank as celebrity-spotting.
Brightonians do not regard Heather Mills or Zoe Ball as true Brightonians.
Brightonians know that weird things happen down Waterloo Street and that is why you should never live there.
Brightonians correct people when they add van to Hoogstraten's name.
Brightonians say 'f*** off baldy' to Terry Garoghan.
Brightonians don't do Sunday mornings.

Anyone remember the time when the only pint of lager to be had in Brighton was the Löwenbräu in the Bierkeller on the seafront? Or a pint of Harp?

Take me Home Falmer Road
I worked there. I was the one cleaning glasses wearing the white shirt, green waistcoat and pink tie. Nice.
Not true at all: my mates and I have been going to Brighton Festival events since the early 70s.
My dad was on the shortlist to be the Festival Director when the whole thing got off the ground, if he'd got the gig I'd gone to whole lot more.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
The Regent Cinema at the Clock Tower and the Big Apple Club that was located in the Ballroom above during the early 70's - still got some of my ticket stubs, maybe should get out more.

True Brightonians have fallen off the stepping stones into the water at the Rookery.
True Brightonians called it the Rockery.
True Brightonians know where you are talking about when you mention the Rookery.
True Brightonians knew London Road as a nice shopping street (including Marks & Spencer, Timothy Whites, Cavendish Woodhouse, Corbyns etc)
True Brightonians remember the huge oak trees in the middle of Preston Park, and the huge trees on the north lawns of St Peter's Church.
True Brightonians think Julie Burchill has done f*** all for this city except shoot her mouth off.
True Brightonians scratch their heads at how so many streets of terraced slums on the side of a steep hill can become such des res.

No - that's just rose tinted tosh - London Road always was a run down crap hole, even when me Mutha used to shop in Belmans there back in the 1960s.

On the subject of dolphins.......And remember when The Sea Life Centre was called The Dolphinarium with dolphins and penguins inside for our amusement.
A Brightonian has legged it past the wax works on the seafront opposite the PALACE Pier because the huge axe swinging back and forth in the window was really rather scary!

Brightonians know better than to go to Sussex County Hospital A&E late on a Friday or Saturday night.
