I never said Brighton isn't different, but being different isn't necessarily a claim for an identity. I'm still waiting for examples of how it's different than say, Sheffield?
Yet, where's the evidence that Brighton's at ease with different countries and cultures? Surely that has something to do with being exposed to different cultures. Brighton doesn't have a heterogeneous culture.
Sheffield and Brighton are both great places but again, very different. Sheffield is a good night out but can be a lot more "towny" than Brighton. It has it's student population which obviously counters the white shirt and shiny shoes brigade but it's a Northern town. Like most Northern towns it has a large working class population that lives for Friday night and gets dressed I to the nines for a trip to the local. Save, West St, Brighton doesn't really have that Northern mentality.
Oddly, it being in the SW, I find Plymouth a very similar city to Sheffield. The vibe of it. That mix of student and working class. Brighton doesn't really have that.
