And a Non Brightonian, like me;

1) What is Dockerills?
2) Why would anyone want an Amex card?
3) I know where that Alley is.
4) I worked 7 Dials out many years ago, I just stopped going anywhere near it!
5) Ha ha, you have a place called Snakey Hill?!?!
6) Other bike rides are available.
7) I wouldn't have a reason to visit those places anytime.
8) I will never say P****e Pier, just "The Pier" is fine for me.
9) There used to be a good kebab house in Preston St, but not any more.
10) I know where Steyning is, does that count?

Easy way to spot the recent incomers is:

a) They jog at weekends - helps convince them they've bought into a LIFESTYLE
b) Their front gardens are pebbled over, and have shells, lobster-pots and other artefacts non-native to Fiveways scattered around, to convince their London friends, that, yes, they do actually live at the seaside
c) They fill up every available seat in every mediocre chainstore coffe-shop that springs up - tho has to be said the new one in London Road might take a little while to reach critical mass

l:

I wonder if any incomers at first think that London Road Station is on London Road, and are desperately trying to find it inbetween a pound land and the most aptly named Worlds End pub.

The steep hill that runs from the end of Nevill Road, up to the roundabout at the end of Dyke Road.
