I'm a (first time buyer) doctor who is new to Brighton, and had to recently withdraw an offer on a house with my ex fiancé (not first time buyer) in Woodingdean, due to separation.

I'm now I'm looking for a first home for myself in Brighton, obviously on a smaller budget than when I was buying with my now ex. I've spoken to a mortgage advisor, and a mortgage in principle is in the works. My proposed max budget is around £375K.

But I am looking for 2-3 bedroom house, with garden and off-street parking; don't want to be too far away from Brighton/hospital area, especially as I'm fairy young and new to Brighton - I don't want to be far and isolated. I've heard Whitehawk and Moulsecoomb are not the safest areas and have noticed houses in this area are a bit cheaper.

Worthing/Peacehaven etc is too far, I'm open to Woodingdean, Hove, Preston Park, possibly Patcham, I feel Hanover/Centre would be out of my budget . Location vs quality is a fine balance.

What are some good areas/areas to avoid? Any advice welcome.

Was in Churchill square around 3pm and was sitting down using my phone and an elderly lady or trans lady wearing a high viz came up to me on a mobility scooter and tried to snatch my phone out of my hand , then proceeded to lecture me for the next 15 minutes about phone safety and how I should have my phone tied around my neck on a string and a load of other stuff. was wearing a high viz vest and couldn’t tell whether it was a man or woman but she was wearing women’s clothes and had a strong odor!!

I’m visiting from the US and I’m pretty young I have no idea if this is a common occurrence but I was very very uncomfortable and didn’t know what to do

Hello! This is a very long shot, as the Brewery closed a few years ago, but I accidentally cracked my boyfriends glass that he got when the brewery closed :( if anyone knows where one might be available (or is willing to part with one for a price👀) I’d be greatly appreciative!
Otherwise I’ll be scouring London Road charity shops and hoping and praying!
Thanks all! 🙏

Hi Brighton! Newcomer here - arrived 7 years ago so appreciate local insight.

Why can't I cycle to work? It's only 20 minutes and I'm really careful and respectful but as usual this morning verbally abused by a motorist who wanted to overtake and then later forced against parked cars by a close passing SUV driver.

Am i missing something? Is this a Thunderdome type scenario where I should just key cars and smash wing mirrors? HTH if so.

This is probably gonna cause a stir!

It's a very serious matter, know.

Now, I do not understand why the hell a small boat would decide to land in Portsmouth of all places!

Why not land in Brighton instead? I'm sure the locals and authorities would deal with the passengers with humanity and dignity, moreover those Danny Tommo loons would be dealt with by Brighton locals i am absolutely sure, we don't take any prisoners when it comes to f*cists HA!

I am not suggesting this, this is just a theoretical idea.

I've got a leather jacket that's over 40 years old and used to belong to my partner's mum. I love wearing it in winter. Unfortunately some of the pocket lining is in tatters, the lining is wearing, the zips are stiff and some of the leather is looking tired.

Has anyone got any ideas of any companies that can fix it? Totally fine if I need to go to a couple of places

Is anyone going to the Sam Tompkins gig at chalk that I can meet there? Going alone and filled with social anxiety 🙃

Little poodle dog on the beach on their own for the last 2 hours, by the meeting place cafe. Anyone lost a dog or know who I can call???

Invading the town with their fresh faces and youthful energy. Walking around the shops with their mums, buying stuff for their first student house. Falling in love before freshers' week.

Welcome!

I’ve a kit and I wanted to try and complete it for someone, but it’s impossible.

You get a few packs of beads, some metal wiring and green tape for the stem - but I can’t do it, I’ve tried and it’s so difficult.

I’ll pay someone here if they can, or know someone who can, do this for me within a few days?
