Portslade

[snarkey5]

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.

[boii1990]

Haha. Well, it's certainly not Oxford. Portslade lacks class and beauty.

[oneinthesamegop]

just found this video me and my friends are in it so strange to see it :)

[Adrian9a1]

omg its boundary

[vany2010]

[markgosling]

@vany2010 There is a song called "In Newhaven Town we're Closing Down" on youtube which is quite amusing and is worth a listen :)

[jenwill11]

[jenwill11]

Ha ha I was born in Portslade. Funny video.

[rareu4532]

Omg cool i was studing in "Portslade 2003-2004, a Memory for the life" I miss Portslade / Brigthon... The Clubs and nice ppl......

[Joukisan]

Did Portslade die?

[booboocraig]

lmao fantastic, I was born n bred in portslade lived there till i was 24....even worked in the tesco and a hairdressers there

[policemanandrew]

I can truthfully say Portslade is a nice place to live. The video is primarily based on Boundary Rd, which is a bit of a dump. But how can it possible compete with Brighton's Western Rd when it is only 5 mins down the road?

As for shopping in Boundary Rd, Tiba (Asian cuisine) is the best takeaway in Sussex, the Tesco is small but usefull, Aldi is cheap as chips, and there are a few good trade style shops.

North Portslade (Mile Oak) is a very nice place indeed. The farm shop is brilliant!

[WildRage666]

hahaha this is hilarious, good one!

[PleaseSupportMiley]

:O My home

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.

[surreal12]

... if you are 16 you have not lived in Portslade your whole life... yet: ergo - you are not dead ... but then again; you live in Portslade ... :-)

[94alternative94]

Fuck off... I bet you're some little short lairy Chav from Bristol or something. So you can have a go... yet you're obviously not dead either. So leave us alone, I'm proud that I'm from Portslade...

[surreal12]

... By your comments, I think my point is quite proven ... As a matter of fact I am quite tall and 'lived' (a relative term) in Porta Slada for thirty years. Now let me guess about you ... 16 hmm...? No doubt you are fat, have two children (no partner), are unemployed and living off the State. Best regards ...

[94alternative94]

Yeah... Im 16 and living of the state. FFS... Do you really think I would do that if I had just left school? Actually I'm 15, in my last year of school, Doing very well, Off to take A levels, then Medical School. And you? Fat? Hell yeah, OI'm the fattest kid on the block. Despite the fact that Im fit and healthy, and was planing to serve my country until I found out that Diabetics can't.

[94alternative94]

As for children? Im 15, of course I don't have any. And no partner? I've got the best girlfriend ever. So come on, what you going to say next?

[94alternative94]

Man... Youtube is fucked. That was meant to be in response to to Surreal12

[surreal12]

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.

[94alternative94]

I've got poor grammar?

So...'Probably you could not get into the Forces' is perfect grammar, aye?

[surreal12]

... 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.

[94alternative94]

Yeah, must agree there mate. Was good fun xD I just got a little pissed off when everyone seems to take this song so seriously and have a go at Portslade. Dont't worry... I just got pretty pissed off when people had a go at me, and 93BabyBear, who is actually my girlfriend. Anyway, nice speaking to you :)

[surreal12]

... 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!

[94alternative94]

Aye. Well nice speaking to you, feel free to chat anytime :P

[xoxRaayaxox]

woooow Go portslade ...!!!!

portslade owns !!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO! ;D

[94alternative94]

This song is fucking awesome!

Portslade is awesome too :D

Lived there for 15 years, and its fucking amazing

[pug77306]

Well for everyone who is slating Portslade, I have lived there for a very long time and think it is great. Everywhere has it's problem areas, including Hove and Brighton.

I'm assuming the video was meant as a joke but as a final thought, most people that live here are very happy and don't really give a shit about what anyone else thinks.

[rossyrockingpenguin6]

that song is gay and portslade is not really that awesome

[TMXtomahIsBack]

portslade is a bit of a shit hole but its better than whitehawk n moulscoomb

[downard21]

lol how funny...brighton rules!!! all must avoid portslade its really dull there...walkin frew it bad enough lol

[xboxman118]

tescoo rulueess

[nebbishgirl]

portslade is full of dispossessed teenagers drinking chekov . it has no culture and it depresses me . From a resident,

[bga93]

[abinger78]

Portslade is fantastic. Dont take the piss

[bethaaaaa]

[falco505]

[ryan1296]

wimpy is still there

[ryan1296]

ya i live there not proud though lol its a right shit hole

[dessiebuk]

Great work, hated the place when we moved from London but our first night we went to the Victoria. A dewey eyed old codger proudly told us he was going to sing Karoake with his grand daughter. Yes, they were crap, but it made me love the place & pub after that. Decent folks giving it a go.

[counterpart440]

Could be worse it could be Worthing

[wiseoldbaldrick]

Would have thought the smoking ban would have meant the end for the Wimpy...actually loved their hot doughnuts....

[Tadpole10538]

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.

[wiseoldbaldrick]

Is the Wimpy still there?

[JoyDivisionSouth]

yer

awful food..

[kgs42]

(.....though not all Portslade girls look that nice)

[kgs42]

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!)

[HolleexHARDCOREstfu]

[poustinik]

I think its righteous! But my gf used to live there & she seems to think 'Slade's a right tip. No Waitrose for starters!

[jimjaminy]

Fabulous! We've just rented a place in Portslade whilst our house in Hove is renovated - this vid is spot-on! Is there one about Hove?

[billybhoy73]

Just when you think there really are some decent huns in the world, people like this disease portsladelion rear their incredibly ugly heads. Can only hope that what goes around REALLY does come around for you, portsladelion!

A horrible fuck-pig.

[jaceuk35]

[daringdaydreamer]

Very funny! (However I am a little mystified as to why it's entitled Hove...)

[domkaos]

[jaceuk35]

Cheers for your comments. I was brought up in "Slade", so got a lot of fond memories of it! Whistlestop used to me local, well, then it was called The Railway!

[benandbon]

[hove1234]

Grew up in Portslade on the Old Shoreham Rd at Southern Cross 40 years ago. Video brought back many memories of the shopping centre and the level crossing,it was a manual operation then. Thanks for the great song.

[vixen1965]

thats so funny

[gtwentythree]

ha ha ha very funny

[rrxx11]

gardener street is seconds away from me

[minkepouss]

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....

[GawjuzxLiLxRebel]

Yess Matee ^o)

[shafty1968]

I remember many a Boxing Day, driving down Brunswick Place, along New Church Road, up Boundry Road and along to Hallyburton Road ( left by the level crossing) to see my uncle and aunt; how I miss brighton (and Portslade!!!)

[metadyneman]

Absolutely "top banana" mate.. I have heard Terry Garoghan sing this but the vid makes it even better. excellent!!

[roybayfield]

That's fantastic, you deserve a knighthood or whatever the Portslade version would be - something from Poundsaver followed by a half in the Blue Anchor maybe.
