Hello and welcome to a chilly 2009 !

anniestar

Hiya, can I be this threads "Northern stalker" please? Have only been to Brighton once(with LOADS of help from here) but i really loved it.
Comming back very soon though. You are all SO lucky to live in such a fab city.
Brighton is the most impressive place I have been to in ages.
Also can I pick your various brains please(again) Can anyone tell me the location of a 24 hour Sainsburys that is on the same retail park as a B&Q ?

ooh, my first ever stalker.. welcome!

there is a big sainsburys in Lewes Road (not sure if a 24hrs one though), at bottom of hollingbury rd.. this is near to a B&Q, on the barracks further along the road.

i must agree that the town* is nice, just wish it was warmer than today!

* they only made it a city to put the taxes up! and locals still call 'Brighton Pier' by its proper name- Palace Pier!

Not 24 hours:

Though actually nor is the big Hove one, or the new one at the back of London road and those aren't near a B&Q.

asda at hollingbury used to be 24 hours from monday until saturday, but with current financial state i suspect that they may have stopped it as well

on another subject - is anyone aware of any foodie offers for the restaurants near the jubilee library (got a birthday coming up soon)

Going back to the Sainsburys/B&Q question...there is a Sainsburys and a B&Q together in a retail park in Lyons Way Worthing (off the Sompting Bypass A27). Not sure of the opening hours of the Sainsburys though and it's not exactly Brighton & Hove I know!

Thanks for that. It was definitely a 24 hour Sainsbury's And there was a B&Q. There was a set of traffic lights at the junction(sorry I know I am not being too helpful:o )
As you drive in the B&Q is on the right hand side. HGV's often park up on the road near B&Q. I got the impression that it wasn't in Brighton itself but within the area. not earth shatteringly important but is to do with my "great adventure" of Oct 2009.
Again, thanks for your help.
Have a good day and stay warm.

That sounds a bit like Lyons Way. It is a right turn at a main junction with traffic lights, off the main A27 if approaching it from Brighton, towards Worthing. It is only a few miles from Brighton & Hove but I think technically it's in Sompting or East Worthing. Do you recall if you drove past Shoreham Airport and Lancing College on your way there?

In fact, Lyons Way is in a different County of course, because Sompting & Worthing are in West Sussex whereas B&Hove are in East Sussex.
