to be honest there's a romance to portslade that you probably can only see if you were brought up here and have happy childhood memories of the place, there's certainly something about portslade.
Having emigrated to New Zealand from Portslade 2 years ago, I soooo miss the old place. The stunning scenery, the welcoming locals, the complete absence of sheep, how life is different to NZ. Thanks for uploading, and if you're ever in Gardener Street, BN41 or the equally magnificent sights of Newhaven West Quay please please please upload a vid from there (or Shoreham Tesco!) God how I miss Tesco's....
There's actually a new coffee shop just above Portslade station which is actually SO NICE, called something like "The Coffee Station" -- it's worth a visit definitely...
Really good. Home for the first 5 years of my life was just off Foredown drive, and I can remember the level crossing. However I escaped. Mum worked for the National Provincial in Worthing, Dad worked for CVA (Kearney and Trecker) in the late 60's, and I went to St Nicholas Infants.
The main road is divided down the middle, Boundary Road on on side is in Hove, the other is Station Road in Portslade. I believe this is the only street in England with two different names in two different towns.
... by adding 'because ...' makes it so - however "possibly'"may have been gramatically better. Really; nice having a bit of banter with you; enjoy Portslade (I did when I lived there - very much so as a matter of fact - my local was the Stag) and I don't want to pi*s you off too much. Sincerely, good for you for having a (bloody good) dig at me - well done & best regards - Mal.
At last - appreciation and celebration! Suppose everybody's going to flock here now it's charm has been revealed to the world and spoil the place (Tst!)
First visited in 2010. Lived in Portslade/Aldrington for three years. Think it's great. Would make a song but who has the time to make a song about Portslade?
... I worked the (defensive) relationship out, hence the wind up. Terry Garoghans CD is really quite good - unless you live in Whitehawk or Moulsecombe - try & get a copy of 'Brighton The Musical' 26 tracks of the same. I now "live" in Worthing (not Bristol!) ... yer, you're right - same thing!
to: nebbishgirl i have lived in this area my whole life and i am 16. i know the kind of people who youve based your oppinion on but portslade is not full of those people. there are a select few of teenagers like that. but otherwise most are happy, non-alcoholics that have fun so... yeah. and all those saying its not awesome are liers... its the best place to grow up.
How about "stressie"? PS. Probably you could not get into the Forces was because your basic English grammar is so piss poor. Look up prepositions. Conversation over.
