CD1. Thoughts.

[Deleted User X18H]

For me it is as much a part of Brighton's heritage as the Pavilion , The Lanes, and The Palace Pier.

I think it's a disgrace it's being sold.

How long before the idiots who voted these idiots in, realise what a huge error they have made.

 

[Fat Langers]

Didn't realise it was being sold!
But wasn't that given to us as a gift, so actually never cost us anything anyway?!
I personally don't think it should go. Can't we keep anything these days!

 

[Albumen]

A friggin number plate? Sweet jesus, talk about false outrage.

Think it's on a Prius that lives in newhaven.

Couldn't give a toss personally but the Greens are deluded if they think they'll get £160k for it.

Agree with you about the Greens in general though.

.
It is, because the chauffeur to the Mayor of Brighton lives here and in fact was Mayor of Newhaven while also chauffeuring

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

End of an era, but it just depends what the 160K gets spent on. If it was something worthy like towards a kids playground then yes it
would be good but if it is just to be spent on the Greens loony traffic changes on Lewes Road then that would be sad.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

It was issued a parking ticket once in Hove.

Very much this. Why does the mayor need a private plate and what is the significance of CD1?

 

[Lethargic]

It's not a bad album but I think that CD2 has the better tracks.

My grandfather ran the miniature coaches in Peter Pan's Playground for many years. He gave Brighton Council some special number plates that he had for the coaches (short numbers and a 999 plate) and I had a childhood memory that CD1 was one of them. Sadly no-one left who could confirm it or otherwise

For all you non Brightonians CD1 was the first plate issued in Brighton way back in 1904.

 

[bravohotelalpha]

Absolutely bl**dy outrageous.

I know that but I still fail to see why a bit of plastic with a two letters and a number on it can be such a sentimental item ? To compare it to the Pavilion is, well, just plain stupid !

 

[queens park pete]

Yawn

Indeed, and until the new format was introduced *CD on a car reg meant that it was originally registered in Brighton, *NJ and *YJ also signify a Brighton registered car.

It's the significance isn't it. The first ever licence plate issued in Brighton, now proudly adorns the mayors limo.

Our mayor should take the bus or cycle anyway. That way, people will see him. Fairly sure he doesn't exist.

And spends most of the time in Newhaven.

Didn't know a Prius could be described as a limo
