Being a better place to live than any other comparably sized city or town in Britain.

Sticks of Brighton Rock. But as I sell around a million sticks a year I would say that.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Piers, Pavilion, pebbly beach and Regency architecture.

All of the above plus as already mentioned the Mods/Rockers era of the 60s and the classic Graham Greene novel.

As a kid Brighton Racecourse held a fascination for me - looking forward to parking there again soon!

It's been covered, Mods, dirty weekends, piers, homosexuality, tolerance! What's not to love? However, I now live in London.
