This. I've lived in Brighton since 1980 and still feel like I'm on holiday. Love my adopted home town, wouldn't live anywhere else now

When did Mrs P do her teacher training? My dad was at Brighton College of Education doing his training between 1967 and 1969. He majored in English, but did a Minor in Geography. It's because of this that I can claim to be a (baptised at least - All Saints, Patcham) Brightonian. I should have been born at Buckingham Road, but Mum had worked as an orderly at the Zachary Merton Hospital in Rustington, so I was born there instead. We left in 1970 when I was only a year old, and we haven't been back since, other than for trips and me for football. Ironically, the house we lived in is no more either, as its site lies under the A23/A27 flyover at Patcham.
I too was born in the ZM & baptised at All Saints Patcham, the house you described must have been near the site of the old Robin Hood Garage?

I bow down to your superior knowledge but I've always known it as stomping ground
Nearly everyone says stomping, but yeah it's stamping. It's of little consequence really but it's nice to be accurate. People have been getting it wrong for so long, they are interchangeable now so it's not wrong really.
