I’ve heard of Brighton but wtf is a “Hove Albion”?
>>
Brighton grew so much that it ate all the surrounding towns and villages, the main one being Hove.
>>
>>158431201
Albion means Britain

>>158431201
It's obviously a bird

looks like a nice little city from what i've seen
i think the smaller English cities and towns are underrated, at least by foreign tourists
are there a lot of tourists on the weekends?
>>
>>158443046
Brighton gets absolutely rammed by tourists in the summer. Hove is more posh and residential so it gets fewer of them, but still busy.
>>
>>158431510
Albion is the bird, nimwit
>>
>>158442979
I'm not rich, in fact I live month to month, but I have a nice life. Wealth demographics here are some of the most varied in the country.
>>158443046
I unironically think it's the nicest place to live in the UK. Brighton town and the beach between the piers is swamped with tourists in the summer but if you live here you rarely go there, especially on hot days. There's better beaches than that around. The nearest beach to me is about a ten minute walk from my home. During summer me and my GF would go for sea swims every day. I've got kids so we'd often go to the beach after school.
As for foreign tourists in Brighton there's loads of foreign exchange students on day trips, week trips and that sort of thing. You might turn a corner and see 30 Italian teenagers with a bit of paper asking you where the library is or some shit. Weirdly now I'm seeing lots of Japanese tourists, especially young women. Not sure if that's a Mitoma thing. You'll see those more out in nature too, so if you go along the coast a bit to Seven Sisters you'll see loads of Japanese tourists at the cliffs. All young women taking a million selfies. The Croydon/London day trippers are worse than the foreign tourists but looe I said if you live here you tend to avoid the busy town centre and beach between the piers.

Arseholes are being rammed also. Brighton is the gay capital of the UK

This might be confusing but Brighton and Hove are different places, as is Falmer. This was more clearly defined 125 years ago when the club was founded.
The Albion part means a conjoining or working together.
In the 90s Brighton wanted city status but isn't really big enough so started working on a long term plan for this where Brighton and Hove became it's own council unitary body separated from the rest of East Sussex. The people of Hove are generally less happy about this than Brighton people as there is a distinct cultural difference between the two places but merging to form a breakaway council was mutually beneficial.
In 2001 Brighton and Hove gained city status. So now it's in a place where all of these separate places are now also one city.
Basically Brighton and Hove Albion FC being a unification of the two places predates the unification of the two places to create the city by about 100 years.

>>158443472
You'd know mate.
>>
>>158439030
Is Brighton really as gay as it's made out to be, or is it pretty normal and just gets memed online?
>>
>>158443975
Its full of homosexuals, young twinks, tourists looking for bum fun, illegal immigrants, drugs, old people. Pride flags and trannies. They all have sex with each other. The amount of gay rape in Brighton is insane.

>>158443472
>>158443645
Pull up, bend over, find out. Even if I don't, a local or illegal immigrant will stick a dick in your assholes.
>>
>>158443975
Kemptown is probably gay majority. Pride is a horror show that most local people avoid. Where I live, in Hove, is not noticeably more gay than anywhere else I've lived in the country.
The whole area is historically linked with personal liberty though, so that makes sense for gays to congregate here I suppose. American independence started up the road in Lewes, for example. Interestingly I think the gay reputation keeps away other demographics. There aren't large swathes of Muslims, Africans etc here. The only two large subdemographic communities are Jews and Coptic Christians
>>158443992
Have you ever been here or just playing out some sort of fantasy? There is a big drug culture here and there is a trant issue here due this a trans doctor wilfully prescribing hormones and blockers to absolutely anyone. "He" has now been struck off and I think there's a pending criminal investigation. Again, I think this is due to the area being linked with liberty rather than anything. Personally I don't mind trans people, just think they're probably ill. Weird thing for me is that it's funded by the NHS.
There's a really low proportion of migrants here compared to any other city I've visited in the UK. Birmingham, Manchester, London etc are way more overtly populated by non-English. Even the deliveroo drivers here are largely Brazilian or local rather than the usual.

Thank you for the information and insight about into this interesting little corner of England. Hove sounds cool. Brighton on the other hand I’d probably avoid unless I needed to buy some weed.
>>
>>158444309
>No Paks or Nigerians but you have to deal with homos
That's an incredible trade off in my honest opinion. Just sounds like the British equivalent of Jacksonville, Florida

>>158445186
Brighton has it's charm and worth visiting. The two parts are interconnected to the point you probably wouldn't know where they cross over as a visitor.
>>158458874
I agree. I'd much rather deal with avoiding a hedonistic pride event once a year than live somewhere like Manchester or Birmingham that have no go areas.
>>158461630
I imagine everywhere in England seems Upper class when you're Irish.

so basically the same as the whole country
