why do people put BN1, BN2 etc like that narrows it down?

It's actually a very logical scale. BN1 = Brighton's Number 1 and we're top dogs for EVERYTHING. Obviously not everybody makes the grade so the second-rate people live in BN2, the third-rate in BN3 and so on. Where do YOU fit in?

Well im in BN88 at the moment, 'Doh

I beg to differ Brovion,They experimented with BN1 and by the time BN41 was built everything was perfect in the world.:yahoo:

You've lost me there.

So, without the Broadway, what's Haywards Heath got going for it?

Nope. Can't think of anything.... :tumble:
(I did live there once - but only for about a year before rushing back to BN3)


BN6 now, btw. We're lovers, not fighters!

It's a decent town in terms of standard of living- nice neighbourhoods etc. For decent nightlife you gotta head into Brighton though, it's good for the restaurants but the bars are shyte.

thats my point. Only BN1 and 2 is Brighton, the whole town. Wierdo Elderly Theatrical Types is BN3, and BN9 is the Peacehaven Wild Kids. The only postcodes that neighbour Brighton itself. Anything else is irrelevant.

When I first lived in Hove, the address was Osborne Villas, Hove 7.

We still have that system here in Dublin (where its used a lot) and Cork (where its, err, nearly completely ignored actually...). Legacies of being in Britain that nobodies bothered to change...

D24's where its at... if you want your car burnt out.

Think D as a single first letter is still left unused in the UK postcodes?
