Wow what a trip back.
Not living in brighton any more I think the thing I miss the most is walking back along the prom after a night out.
Leaving the Escape, hot and sweaty and feeling the cool sea air. Bloody brilliant.
I loved my youth and miss it loads.
But when I visit now the place I miss the most is the Quadrant.
I love Brighton and miss it loads.

Where we used to skate (above the arcade) on Madeira Drive (and where they took the main Quadrophenia picture all lined up in front of that 'hangar' thing)
Pub in the road next to West Street - Smugglers? I was in there the night Heysels was on the telly never seen a room full of skinheads go so quiet.
Funny little night club upstairs from one of them as well.
Preston Street when it had good restaurants
The Roller Disco on a Sunday at Top Rank - Centrefold was played every week.
American Dream ice cream parlour - top end of west street on the left as you went up
Leadbellys - burger 'restaurant' on western road that served food on wooden plates (wouldn't get away with that these days) and had dark lighting so you couldn't see what was in them!

I preferred that bowling alley at Hove Station to the one at the King Alfred.
Our youth club did a 24 hour bowlathon for charity there. It was dead exciting for me at the time (I was 18) because it was the first time my Dad allowed me to stay out all night.
