Brighton is a shithole

Have you ever actually been to Brighton and seen its magnificent regal splendour? I suspect not, as usual :roll:

Coz if you went you'd then be able to say, from a position of stregth, that Brighton is a shithole ... which it is.

I would agree (and yes I've been there).

I'd think Blackpool, or Salford Precinct, or even Bobo's own Wrexham before calling Brighton a shithole. Brighton has some magnificent architecture. I really can't see why you'd try to do it down, it's a splendid place. :conf:

I'd have no major objections to the argument, it's in the same sort of class as Blackpool, Salford Precinct or Wrexham (although it's a good while since I've been there). London has some magnificent architecture. It's still a shitehole. :-)

'Bobo's own Wrexham' IS a shithole. No-one would deny it, albeit that the countryside around is is pretty good.

But 'Bobo's own Wrexham' doesn't claim the airs & graces, nor get the attention that Brighton does & expects.

Now ... 'Bobo's own Chester' is quite another matter.

To be fair, a mate of mine has a place in Erbistock (Cross Foxes - one of the finest gastro pubs I've ever had the pleasure of) and the place is stunning. You wouldn't for a second believe that you're technically still in Wrexham (which is, in the main, an unmitigated shithole).

I llived in Overton for 5 years.

Where I live now is some cut above the norm also ...

& the next village, a mile away, where our friend 'Always Hopeful' lives is lovely. Just the town itself.

The Cross Foxes, btw, is part of a chain of gastro pubs, mostly in this area. Get to any of these & the offerings & setting are equally good. Here's their web site.

This is the one a mile from me ... the Pant-yr-Ochain.

Meanwhile, here is a shithole in Brighton

Bruce Rioja · **Posted:** Sun Mar 18, 2012 8:49 pm

Aye, but The Cross Foxes is 100 yards from my mate's door.

Don't know if you've ever been to The Boat lower down by the river in Erbistock? Utterly stunning setting.

Meanwhile:

Rest of North Wales - a veritable selection of shitholes

Brighton is like most cities in the UK - it has its nice parts - the pavillion, the laines, the seafront - and it has its crappy parts - some very dodgy housing estates...

Further into Mid Sussex is far better though

(tbh - I don't get the fuss about 'the Laines' either)

Nah, not this season there won't be Bobo! (and i don;t frequent The Laines often - was just trying to think of some of Brightons more 'things'

The Withdean was a dump. Apparantly the amex is quite nice, though not seen a game there yet...

He's right you know. It is lovely. It's just a pity the village isn't one mile further north - not only would it then be in England, but it'd also be that bit further away from Wrexham!

For those that don't do the student grunge/live-band scene (as Bobo does!) - that particular very clean toilet an be found at the well-known and generally well-regarded student/grunge live music venue: Hector's House on Brighton's Grand Parade...

You cleary don't know Mrs Bobo.

Though, as GG noted, the seat being up is a clue also.

I,m afraid I had that particularly horrifying experience the other night whilst on licenced premises. Had to get some random stranger to pass me some underneath the door. True story

Ditto yesterday on a packed train in Germany. Had to call for help from the people standing in the vestibule. Absolute horror show.
