Brighton Boundary Pillars on A23

[Sompting_Seagull]

Cheers people, interesting variations too.

Tony Bloom should offer to replace the missing Pillar, as a sign of total commitment to wind up opposing supporters coming down the A23.

Err. Brighton people call them pylons. When the Road was only two lanes they were closer together, much more noticeable and just like driving through a gate to the promised land, or out of it to the smoke.

Always know I'm home when I see these!

 

[Silverhatch]

I love the fact that my kids (9 &12) always salute the pylons when they've "got home".

 

[Sloe Joe]

At 160 mph+ in my Alfa I've never noticed them.
Where are they ?

 

[Merseyside Seagull]

I drive into Warrington everyday on my way to work, and there is a sign, "Welcome to Warrington, the home of Warrington Wolves", along with club badge. Picture to follow tomorrow!
Something I think Brighton City council should consider.

You're all mad. I'd like to join.

When my wife and I lived in London, and drove back to God's own county for the weekend, I would sing GOSBTS AND salute whilst passing the Pylons heading south on the A23.

Its every patriotic Sussex man's duty you know...

 

[csider]

and no doubt cutting across everybody at the last minute to get to the A27-

That will be me.............

 

[csider]

ALWAYS have to salute, tis the law.

 

[glasfryn]

I always smile because I know I'm back home when I see the pillars.

thats the ex-pat talking and just what I was going to say
don't anyone dare to do anything to them they are perfectly OK as they are

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

That will be me.............

ROAD HOG!!! well i am little miss daisy in my small car-just waiting to glide past once you hit the breaks-it's all about pace control and momentum-

Isn't it the case that that the Pylons are still the same distance apart that they always have been; the southbound lane now occupies the same space that both north and south once did, so the western pylon is in the central reservation, and the eastern is on the edge of the southbound carriageway. Or am I wrong?

That's what I thought!

 

[The Large One]

Hail guest, we ask not what thou art
If friend we greet thee hand and heart
If stranger no longer be
If foe our love shall conquer thee


Like.

 

[Cappers]

That's what I thought!

...and me. from what I can remember there did not used to be any central reservation between northbound and southboung traffic, only double white lines. The road had a slight kink in it too. V dangerous if not paying attention at 70 mph

Hail away fans, no matter how your distance was far,
you team will get beat whoever you are,
If stranger to Brighton your welcome be,
If Palace our team will conquer thee!
