Brighton not what it used to be
Very true - Brighton hates cars. I'm in Worthing and given the choice I'll go to Crawley or Chichester for shopping trips or cinema rarther than go to Brighton.If you are driving, just make sure you don’t get caught in at Brighton’s bus gate traps! They are specifically designed by the local council to ruin the day and the whole visit of unsuspecting tourists, I guess especially those who have not visited for a while!

Yeah Resident has kept the flag flying. But I sorely miss Borderline and the literally dozens of little 2nd hand record and bookshops (Disclocator, Sancho Panza etc) that are now coffee houses.I'm sure that's true but it still must have one of the highest concentration of record shops in the South of England! Always a great day out
