"We are Brighton no one likes us we don't care"

Don't know why stags & hens bother keep coming to Brighton hardly any pubs want to serve them
I was down LIFE PUB on seafront next to FORTUNES OF WAR about a month ago on a Saturday afternoon when around 10 lovely ladies went up to the bar to get a drink they were refused because they said hen parties not allowed FFS it was 2pm on a Saturday afternoon in an outdoor pub

Thus voted by some poll done by a holiday firm with 2,800 people questioned.... voted worse than Blackpool and Skeggy...think there might be a somewhat northern vote in there somewhere...

Never viewed it as a 'resort'. It's a thousand things more than a seaside town for people's chip munching beach holidays.

Brighton has been voted the worst seaside resort in the UK because it’s too trendy.

Blackpool, Skegness and Bournemouth all beat Brighton in the poll, despite the fact many would consider those towns to be more run-down.

Most holidaymakers were put off by Brighton because of its trendiness, dreadful parking, and the prevalence of clubbers in garish outfits making the most of the town’s famed nightlife.

Too much: Holidaymakers are put off Brighton by its overcrowding and rowdy night life

Some of the 2,500 people polled cited Brighton and Hove City Council’s plans to introduce ‘Mx’ – a gender neutral title for transsexuals – on official forms, and gender neutral toilets as a reason why they disliked the town so much.

Others accused the locals of having ‘chips on their shoulders’ and said the resort was ‘full of bohemians and bad art’.
Full story...

"Clarkson" on certain members of society .................... "they list 'reading' among their hobbies'".

This from four days ago suggests otherwise, although it does just state towns:

Actually probably correct. I'm fairly certain that not many people come to Brighton for their main two weeks in the summer holiday. It's far more of a weekend destination (hence the exorbitant hotel rates on Friday/Saturday nights) than a genuine holiday destination.

Daily Mail garbage. Which later in the article says this: Scarborough and Bournemouth ranked fourth and fifth, while Torquay and Llandudno seemed to offend the least getting just 5 and 4 per cent of the vote in the poll by the Real Holiday Reports review website. A report has found that 27 per cent of England’s 31 biggest seaside towns are ‘deprived’.
Brighton did not feature on the list, which was topped by Skegness, Blackpool and Clacton.

Thee website the poll is taken from is an embarrassment. Can't believe the mail turned that into a story. Oh wait, yes I can. http://www.realholidayreports.com/strawpoll/default.asp

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i wouldn't class it as a seaside resort really...not in the same way as other seaside towns anyway. Has very little in common with places like Blackpool

The Daily Telegraph has put it on the FRONT PAGE of tomorrow's paper. A story emanating from a crap internet poll that could easily have been rigged, hosted on a website no-one's heard of. Truly appalling journalism.

Of course both the Mail and the Torygraph despise Brighton because they think it's full of gays, lefties and greens - so any opportunity to have a dig at our great city and they'll make the most of it.
