LondonHMFC Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 19 minutes ago, Dee Man said: I'm sorry LondonHMFC, but I can't agree with that. I've visited there several times over the years and spent 4 days there a couple of months ago and it was brilliant. A multitude of bars, cafes and restaurants to sit by the sea front as well as all the others in the streets and lanes running through the centre. The weather was perfect for the whole time I was there and probably enjoys some of the UK's best weather each year. It was peak tourist season and the place was absolutely buzzing. Probably one of my favourite places in the UK tbh. Yeah, you are quite correct. The Lanes are lovely for a walk round, and there are plenty of decent boozers. Like most seaside towns/cities, in the summer it is an excellent place to have a weekend. Unfortunately the level of homelessness has gone up over the past few years, it's not uncommon to see someone with a needle hanging out of their arm in a doorway. In the winter Brighton can be an incredibly depressing place to be. Milky Gem helps out at a homeless shelter in the city every Sunday, she has said over the past couple of years, the increase has been ridiculous. Drug abuse is a major issue. BBC Three did a documentary a few months back on girls living rough in Brighton, and most suffered with some form of substance abuse. Whilst crime figures went down last year, Brighton is still above the English average. Knife crime has also increased in the past few years (then again, seems to be the case everywhere). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to see Blackpool play Man United about ten years ago when I actually bothered about English football and noticed that all the corner shops around that way had multiple ads for swingers. So at least the folk staying there get up to some fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Burnley strikes me as the type of place that people know is going to be a shitehole without even seeing it and therefore avoid at all costs. Even the wee bit you can see on motd highlights between the stands screams shithole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
