A lot of peeps say it though, seriously it's like everyone I meet from outside Brighton man.

 

[narly101]

hailing from London myself, i'd like to point out that it should actually be "Ahm goin dahn to Brighton"

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Always annoyed me too, I would always say "up" to London and "down" to home (it's a North/South thing surely). However, what seems to happen is that people always describe going to the capital as going "up", regardless of whether they are actualy travelling there North, South, East or West.

THIS. Or popping along to Brighton.

:safeway:

I have always minced into Brighton

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Indeed, I'm a Shorehamite too, and I don't think I would say up or down for that short a distance. "To Brighton" I imagine is what I'd use most.

 

[Giraffe]

From Worthing I come across to Brighton, but UP to London, always.

Anyone coming from London and heading South is definitely ALWAYS heading DOWN

 

[upthealbion1970]

In newhaven the common term is "going through to Brighton". I used to live oop norf years ago and was told I was from down south but when I came home to visit I was going upto Brighton. Confusing to say the least

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

How many times have we had this thread now Danny you absolute bastard!?! Do an 'advanced search' and let us know.

Bizarrely I was thinking about this very issue yesterday - up/down to Brighton(honest)

 

[Billy the Fish]

Who are any of you to decide which way up the world is. Personally, I'm magnetically aligned to the south pole so Brighton is up for me.

 

[severnside gull]

As a child in London in the fifties we would regularly take the Brighton Belle up to Brighton and when it was time to go home we would get it back up to London

 

[Biscuit]

What if you lived in the South of France. Then you could pop 'up' to Brighton?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If you get your ups and downs the wrong way round its a 98% certainty you're a northern twat.
