Your post and subsequent response serve as perfect examples of the cultural and intellectual divide between the people of Croydon and Brighton.

Born and bred in South London.
Working class, no airs and graces .
I say please and thank you, so could you please keep your middle class pomposity to your good self.
Thank you.

Listening to James O'Brien on LBC on Wednesday, a caller invited the presenter to Croydon, cue much laughter from O'Brien followed by these words "nothing would ever entice me to visit that place". Lol.

Whatever your class, no airs and graces....I think not. Also, wtf does class have to do with anything?

Why don't you like Croydon? Do any of you know it?

Nah, none of us have ever been there mate!

Well for starters Rizzle kicks are from Brighton the kooks were formed in Brighton and Adele lives in Brighton , thats not bad 3 out of 21 for little ole Brighton , how many of your list are from Croydon or still live there ? There are some nice parts of the Borough of Croydon , but East and especially West Croydon are complete shitholes , with some proper toerags who live and infest these 2 areas.

Does she? You sure?

Respectfully, you've completely missed the point here.

The fact that the BRIT School is based in Selhurst and has churned out some musical talent doesn't lessen Zaha's comments that Croydon is "an awful place to be in".

Just because someone famous works or studies somewhere for a few years doesn't suddenly make the surroundings idyllic and picturesque.

How many of the aforementioned are still living there or, indeed, would choose to?

Or is it more a case of getting out as soon as they can?

 

[Buzzer]

Tara McDonald? Nope
Stefan Abingdon? Not a scooby
Cush Jumbo? Come again
Ashley Madekwe? Sorry, that's a no
Shingai Shoniwa? Bless you
Ella Eyre? Once again, I can't say I've heard of them
Rainy Milo? Is that a real thing..
Leo the Lion? F*ck off. You can't include hand puppets.

What about our very own Fat Boy Slim.

What about our very own Fat Boy Slim.

Born in Bromley, so not a million miles from Croydon.

But obviously (like Adele) got the hell out and moved to civilisation, or "Sussex" as it's popularly known just as soon as they both could.

Did you used to work in les deux alpes ?

Yes mate, I was out there for 3 seasons, why's that?

 

[Bry Nylon]

The inmates tend to burn the place down themselves don't they?

Where the F have you been, THPP? Not seen you on here in ages.

We spoke before on here in my previous incarnation , I think you know my sister or know of her, she worked there too.
