Saltdean/Rottingdean Seagulls...

[Hunting 784561]

The chavs have always been there, like they have in every single other part of Brighton or Hove.

It's no better or worse than it ever was. I can remember a bunch of 1970s chavs ( probably with Burberry flares ? ) called the 'SVA' in the 1970s (Saltdean Vandals Association).

I see very little crime in Saltdean now though, and everyone gets on well, part of a very nice community. The kids outside the Co-Op are just that, kids. My eldest is probably one of them. They are too young to go to the pub, but too old to hang out in the park.

I think Saltdean has matured into a real decent and pleasant community and me and Mrs Mart honestly cant think of a better place to bring up our offspring.

I lived in Saltdean for 7 years or so before I moved out of Sussex. The Spanish Lady has always been a rough old boozer if you're not known in there. Luckily for me I was! The Plough isn't a bad pub, but I always preferred the Black Horse or the Coach House.

Add me to the list of saltdean Seagulls, although im in bath for a while.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I lived in Saltdean from 1968 to 1984 (with parents). Spanish Lady was 60 seconds walk door-to-door - spent almost every night in there in the late 70's - I remember the SVA too - that was only a bit of fun though - bloody hell that was a long time ago.

This is starting to feel like Friends Reunited!

Err no?
Do you mean Stavros as in Teli Savalis?
Or Stavros the leader of the Daleks in Dr Who?

It was a long time ago ....

I mean the Stavrou family who have lived in Longridge Avenue for the last thirty years, plus.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I don't remember them ... where in Longridge Ave?

I knew Mike Fuller who lived above Barclays Bank (both long since gone)
I knew Julian Tighe who lived above the shoe shop (Dalengers)
And I vagely remember the couple who moved in above the Green Grocers who came down from Bishop Stortford - he had a Triumph Stag - just can't remember their names.

I agree SM-I've been here for 6 years now and it is definitely the nicest part of Brighton that I have lived in.

Up the top, past the hotel? I think I know their son.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Ahhh the hotel ....
I worked there as a waiter in the school hols when I was 15 - god did I learn things about the real world in that place. Went back again for Xmas hols - saving up for a moped.

I remember Basil the Newsagent. ...

Re the Harveys at the Black Horse: they give you one and a half pints of IPA, in a giant glass, for the same price as a normal pint but this does NOT in any way compensate for the loss of the Harveys.

It's just not Sussex.

I know Alex Stavrou and Andy and Lac who run the resteraunt in St James St.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Mr Meadows taught me to play guitar ....
Mole, .... was mole ... he didn't have an easy job. Mr Robbinson (deputy-head) was a top geezer.
