THOUSANDS SET TO LINE THE STREETS FOR TOUR OF BRITAIN BRIGHTON FINISH Richard Morris @BrightonIndy Brighton and Hove will be full to bursting with cycling fans tomorrow (Saturday) as thousands of people line the city’s streets to see the Tour of Britain. A peloton made up of some of the world’s best cyclists will snake its way to the seafront during the penultimate stage of this year’s race. The leading competitors are expected to enter the city at Coldean Lane at just after 3pm before making their way to the finish line

on Marine Parade, with organisers predicting an arrival time of 3.19pm. Brighton and Hove City Council believes the event could be worth as much as £3 million to the local economy as a result of increased trade on the day and potential tourism resulting from the city being showcased on television across the world. Sir Bradley Wiggins, the first Britain to win the iconic Tour de France race, will be among the cyclists but the much-

loved rider is increasinglyunlikely to claim this year’s Tour of Britain crown. Wiggins, who rides for Team Sky, has dropped to sixth place overall, some way behind the top two of Michal Kwiatkowski and Edoardo Zardini. He will, however, remain the biggest draw to tomorrow’s event, with cycling fans keen to catch a glimpse of the star in action. The event will be shown live on ITV4 but organisers are confident the majority of local cycle fans will opt to see the riders up close. See page 3 for where and when to see the riders in the city

Brighton gets ready for visit of the Tour of Britain Richard Morris @BrightonIndy Brighton and Hove will go bicycle crazy tomorrow (Saturday) when the Tour of Britain rides into town. The city is hosting the penultimate stage of this year’s competition and organisers are expecting thousands of fans to line the streets ready for the arrival of the peloton and the race’s superstar cyclists. Sir Bradley Wiggins may no longer be in with a realistic chance of winning the overall title, but that will not deter local bike fans from coming out in significant numbers to cheer on the hugely-popular cyclist. Tomorrow’s leg starts in Camberley, Surrey, at 10am and takes in 140 miles of road through West and East Sussex before arriving in Brighton at around 3pm. The tour is the country's largest free-to-spectate sporting event attracting the biggest live attendance of any sporting event in the UK. And for once, local motorists are unlikely to mind having their journeys disrupted by cyclists. Madeira Drive will be closed between 5am and 7pm, with the A259 from Lower Rock Gardens to the aquarium roundabout shut from 1.30pm until 5pm. The roundabout itself will remain open but will be reduced to one lane for the duration of the event, while each of the roads that will be used by the racers (listed to the right) will be closed 15 minutes before the tour passes by and reopened once each rider has left. Businesses across the city are hoping for a bumper days trading

- with the local economy estimated to benefit to the tune of around £3 million from the tour’s visit – and many are offering Tour of Britain special offers. The city’s cycling-themed café, Velo, is also hosting a number of events throughout the day, including smoothie making sessions for kids and cycle races on static mountain bikes in the evening. Coverage of the event will also be shown on the café’s 48ins screen from 1pm. And to mark the occasion the Brighton Wheel will be lit yellow tonight (Friday) and tomorrow evening to mirror the signature colour of the tour’s prestigious yellow jersey worn by the race leader. A small army of volunteer city champions will be out in force at Brighton Station to welcome spectators and offer maps and directions to the finish line.

Where and when to see the riders � Ditchling Beacon 2.57pm � Coldean Lane 3.06pm � A270 Lewes Road 3.08pm � Bear Road 3.11pm � Warren Road 3.14pm � Wilson Avenue 3.14pm � Marina Way 3.16pm � Through tunnel 3.17pm � Marine Parade 3.19pm (closed for 2 hours) More information is available online at www.tourofbritain.co.uk

Wanted: women drivers

Grand challenge

Dementia event

Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company is attempting to challenge the stereotypical view of bus driving being a solely male career. Judith Aylward, the firm’s driver manager, will be at Churchill Square tomorrow (Saturday) with some of the company’s female drivers between 9am and 4pm. They want to talk to any women who would be interested in a job driving buses. Ms Aylward said: "I want to say to women that if you have ever thought about becoming a bus driver but weren't quite sure whether it would be right for you please come along to Churchill Square.”

Entrepreneurs in Brighton and Hove are being encouraged to enter a competition which offers the winners the chance to develop their ideas at NASA Research Park with Silicon Valley's technology leaders. The Brighton Grand Challenge is looking for technological solutions to humanity’s greatest challenges. More information is available online at www. brightongrandchallenge.com but entries must be submitted by Monday. Finalists will be invited to pitch their ideas to expert panel of judges representing international business, academia and governmental organisations, with the final scheduled for September 26. Applicants must be over 18 and teams of up to four people can enter.

The Martlets Hospice has joined forces with the Alzheimer’s Society, The Carers Centre, Age UK, Adult Social Care and other agencies in the Brighton and Hove to organise an information event about all aspects of dementia. It will take place a week tomorrow on Saturday, September 20, between 2pm and 5pm at the Martlets Hospice in Wayfield Avenue, Hove. Admission is free and visitors will have the chance to question speakers and specialists on all issues surrounding dementia. There will also be the chance to find out what support is available. Around 3,032 people in Brighton and Hove have dementia.

Donations to Green MP revealed Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, benefited from £26,000 in donations during August. The Electoral Commission published last month’s figures yesterday and Ms Lucas received a trio of payments - the largest of which was £20,000 from John Pemberton. Rupert Read gave £4,000 and Martin D. A. Stanley £2,000. Penny Kemp, the Green Party’s external communications coordinator, said: “We’re very grateful to John Pemberton, a longstanding member of the Green Party, for his donation. “We appreciate all those who have given to us and supported us as a party and in helping us emphasise the importance of keeping a Green voice in Parliament. “Donations are accepted in line with a stringent ethical donations policy that goes beyond anything required by law. As part of that policy we make clear that donations are only accepted without there being any direct return benefit to the donor. “We also consider the track record of each donor

and it’s important to us that they broadly share our own progressive values.” Elsewhere this week, Ms Lucas caused a stir during Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) by unfurling a collage made up of photographs of Brighton and Hove locals (pictured below) holding a giant love heart. Ms Lucas has asked locals to back the For The Love Of… campaign with the hope of encouraging the government to better tackle climate change.

Cancer death rate

Save the NHS

The number of people in Brighton and Hove dying from cancer is above the national average. A new report has also revealed around 1,100 people in the city are diagnosed with cancer each year, with breast cancer the most common in females and prostate cancer the most regular among local men. The findings also showed cancer is the main cause of premature deaths in Brighton and Hove, with the disease responsible for 41% of deaths in locals under 75.

A public meeting is taking place on Wednesday, September 24 at which campaigners will urge politicians to pledge to save the NHS. Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, and Nancy Platts, the Labour parliamentary candidate in Brighton Kemptown, are due to address the meeting, which has been organized by Sussex Defend the NHS for 7.30pm at BHASVIC in Dyke Road. Other speakers due to take part include mental health nurse Stephen Mclean and comedian Kevin Hunter-Day.

£1 million grant to develop super engines and fuels The University of Brighton has been given £1 million to develop ultra-efficient engines which will allow vehicles to travel further on less fuel. The four-university research group, which is headed by Brighton, will also attempt to work towards engines with near-zero emissions. Dr Robert Morgan, of the university’s School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics and lead researcher, said: “This is really exciting news and moves us closer to developing ultra-efficient fuels and engines.”

Pupils at Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA) are already seeing the benefits of the school’s £12.7 million redevelopment. Students moved into the state-of-the-art buildings in February and earlier this year PACA enjoyed an encouraging set of GCSE results, with 53% of students gaining five A*-C grades overall. The school also received above national average result for English and maths. As our pictures show, PACA has been transformed and the site now includes a new sixth form and specialist academies in sports and science. All of this has helped pupils achieve their goals, according to James Fox, the school’s principal. He said: “Our shared vision has been that the academy is an inspiring place to be. “I feel passionately that our students and the community deserve nothing less. Our new building has provided first class facilities for students here at PACA and also the wider Mile Oak community with the new library and Adult Education Centre Reuniting the Sixth form with the main school has been a great success, allowing a more cohesive approach to teaching and mentoring programmes to flourish.” PACA is holding two open days next month. The first is a general open day on October 6, followed by a sixth form open evening on October 16. For more information visit: www.paca.uk.com.

Joe completes barefoot challenge Brighton Fashion Week Fundraiser extraordinaire Joe Addison battled blisters, boredom and sore knees to run round Preston Park Velodrome for 24 hours. The fitness instructor covered over 80 miles, burning 15,173 calories, recharging his batteries with peanut butter sandwiches, milkshakes and sweets. By the end his feet were unrecognisable, covered in blisters and such was the physical effort involved, Mr Addison had lost his voice and been left with

flu-like symptoms. It was though, completely worth it. Mr Addison, who is no stranger to exhaustive fundraisers having run eight marathons, raised almost £2,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. That total included over £100 donated by well-wishers during the run – something Mr Addison had not been expecting. “I’m completely amazed and overwhelmed at how much interest and support my run generated,” he said. “The whole

thing has been an incredibly emotional experience that I will never forget – or repeat based on my current lack of desire to ever run again! “I was on adrenaline for the last half an hour so watching the clock tick over to 24 hours almost seemed like an anti-climax. It was only when I started to realise how many people had come along to see me finish that it really hit me.” Mr Addison can still be sponsored online at www. justgiving.com/joeaddison2014.

dates announced Organisers of Brighton Fashion Week have announced a string of events for this year’s showcase, which runs from October 8 until 12. Last-year’s Brighton Fashion Week was a sell-out and the people behind the popular annual fashionfest believe this year’s event will be even better. They are promising to deliver “a style manifestation that continues to resist the unconventional, and unashamedly flaunt raw creativity in its place”. Labeled Europe’s number one fashion week for breakthrough international designers, Brighton Fashion Week is the best place to witness one-of-a kind designs, bold innovation and immaculate tailoring. And the line-up of events looks like building on Brighton Fashion Week’s already impressive reputation. On October 10 at the Old Ship Hotel in Kings Road, the Sustain Catwalk Show looks like being one of the week’s best events. Starting at 6.30pm (with tickets £14), the show returns for the second consecutive year, promoting sustainability through showcasing designers and practitioners who combine innovative fashion design and ethical thinking. Organisers say Brighton is a city that overflows with morality and strong ethical values, making it an ideal setting to unveil collections designed to test the boundaries of sustainable fashion as we know it. On the same day and at the same venue the Zeitgeist Emerging Talent Catwalk Show starts at 9pm (tickets £18). Showcasing breakthrough designers, this show proves originality is not an unobtainable thought. It takes more persistence and a fresher outlook to explore limitless creativity. The Fashion Market is being held at the Open Market the following day (October 11) between 10am and 7pm. The pop-up fashion market

set in the historic Open Market’s newly covered square, offers locals the chance to pick up one-of-a-kind original from up to 40 talented designers and artists across a range of disciplines. Then at the Sussex Masonic Centre in Queens Road on October 12 and 6pm and 8.30pm (repeat shows) is Showreel (tickets £20). Combining the traditional performance space of a fashion collection with the concepts and thought processes of stage costume, ShowReel will be the dwelling of costume designers seeking to transform their creations onto the catwalk. For this reason, ShowReel is a spectacle of eccentric individuals, developed characters, and bold statements, practically unfit for everyday wear.

Half marathon places

Hove Park call to arms

RISE, the Brighton and Hove domestic abuse charity, still has a number of places available for runners looking to take part in next year’s Brighton Half Marathon. The race sold out in record time but the charity was given some places to hand to fundraisers. RISE is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and has embarked on a fundraising drive. Anyone who would like to take part should visit: www.riseuk.org.uk for more information.

The future of Hove Park School will be decided at a pair of meetings over the next two weeks – and parents campaigning against academy status plan to step up their lobbying efforts. Governors are meeting at Hove Park upper school in Nevill Road on Monday (September 15) and Monday, September 22 - with both sessions starting at 5.45pm. Members of Hands Off Hove Park want as many anti-academy parents as possible to attend demonstrations on both dates.

A range of other events are taking place during Brighton Fashion Week, including networking sessions and a debate on sustainability in fashion. For more information and a full line-up, visit: www. brightonfashionweek.com.

Anger: a default emotion of our narcissistic modern society Graham Chainey

A road-rage incident at Pevensey recently became something of an internet sensation, when a cyclist filmed the driver of a Jaguar hurling abuse at him. Mark Baldwin, described by one newspaper as “Britain’s angriest driver”, was subsequently fined £505 by Hastings magistrates. On another recent occasion, it was a cyclist who was losing his rag. Following an altercation in July at the junction of New Church Road and Sackville Road in Hove, an unidentified cyclist smashed the window of a bus, causing its driver to be hospitalised with a head injury. And here is a story from Zurich, 2010. Ex-president Bill Clinton, after attending the FIFA meeting at which the 2022 World Cup was inexplicably awarded to Qatar, returned to his room at the Savoy Baur en Ville Hotel, picked up a large china ornament from a table, and hurled it with all his might at a wall mirror. That only destroyed a mirror. Anger can also, of course, destroy lives. Back in January, a retired police officer, sitting with his wife in a Florida cinema, saw red over the man in front texting during the film. The other man threw popcorn back. Voices

and tempers rose. Enraged, the ex-cop shot the other man dead. (Only in America, I hope, do folks attend the cinema with loaded guns.) Turn on the news, and most days you will witness anger. Police and demonstrators tussle with contorted faces. A protester badmouths a politician. A politician (John Prescott) punches a protester. A singer (Björk) wrestles a journalist to the ground. An angry picket line, a howling mob running amok. And then all the rages that modern life seems to provoke: road rage, air rage, rail rage, desk rage, noise rage, supermarket-trolley rage. Outside our city clubs, most nights, you will see doorstaff rage. I have more than once witnessed a clubber so angry at being evicted that they had to be held down by a posse of officers, handcuffed and shackled, and hoisted bodily into the van, still screaming blue murder. Even as the van moved off, their furious imprecations, their kicking of the van, continued. There is such a condition as intermittent explosive disorder (IED), said to be particularly prevalent in America, which can trigger sudden tantrums and rage. Maybe Mr Baldwin or the Hove cyclist suffer from IED. (Gordon Brown, said to hurl phones at his staff, probably does.) It is linked to inadequate

production of serotonin, a moodregulating chemical in the brain. But I believe much of the current epidemic of anger in western society stems from our narcissistic me-first culture, and modern people’s self-indulgent upbringings. No stiff upper lip for us, any more. It is well cool to be emotive, to let it all pour out the anger, the weeping, the public emoting. I pass people in the street who look positively fired up with frustration and hatred, just longing to vent their fury on

somebody. All those Saturdaynight punch-ups are a result of this short-fuse behavioural defect. Sometimes, when dealing with official incompetence or corruption, righteous, controlled or assumed anger can be effective. (In Mumbai, I am told, the employment of anger is the only way to get anything done). But generally anger is unskilful behaviour that will only backfire, leading to regrettable outcomes (like a £505 fine).

“Forsake anger,” says the Buddha (Dhammapada 222). “He who can control his rising anger as a coachman controls his carriage at full speed, this man I call a good driver.” And here is a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad: “A strong man is not the one who knocks people down: the truly strong man is the one who can control himself in anger.” Graham Chainey is a freelance writer living in Brighton and Hove.

Ghost Girl by Leslie Thomson It’s a year since her father’s death and Stella Darnell has not moved on. She visits his house every day to clean it. Leaving it spotless. As if he might return. Her father was Detective Superintendent at Hammersmith police station and she has discovered what looks like an unsolved case in his darkroom: a folder of unlabelled photos of empty streets. Why did he never file them? The oldest photograph dates back to 1966, to a day when Mary Thornton, then aged ten was out with her baby brother. That afternoon as the Moors Murderers were sent to prison for life, Mary sees something that will haunt her forever. As Stella inches closer to the truth, the events

of the day begin to haunt her, too. The Moors Murders lingers on in all of our subconscious, I think, even if we were too young to have clear memories of that horrific case. This is a really intelligent book with a multi-layered plot and brilliant, keeping it real characters. The story takes us into the world of loss and forgiveness with satisfying twists and turns throughout. Stella Darnell is one of those characters that stay with you long after the book is finished. She also gives some extremely handy hints on cleaning, you know, nasty blood stains out of carpets, or fingerprints from walls and windows. Should you ever need them! Lesley will be at The Bookish Supper Society on October 29. Tickets from www.tabl.com.

Cars, cycles and pedestrians need to co-exist while respecting each other’s space Mike Holland @RealMikeHolland

Interesting response in last week’s Independent from Becky Reynolds following my article published the previous week. Becky, who I am sure is an

exemplary example of a Brighton cyclist, must be watching a whole bunch of different people to the many selfish cycle users the majority of pedestrians encounter. Becky tells us that Brighton and Hove has made excellent progress in making the streets more cycle friendly. Unfortunately, in my opinion, in many cases such as on

our seafront this has been to the detriment of the pedestrian. Apparently it is OK to ignore the Highway Code despite it being the law of the land in favour of following a remark made by Robert Goodhill, the transport minister. It seems he suggested that fines for riding on the pavement should not be aimed at responsible cyclists. Well, as far

as I am concerned, if Mr Goodhill wishes to change the law then he should put a bill to Parliament in order to do so. It is not a responsible action for anyone to suggest riding on the pavement is OK. It is not, and is indeed against the law. It is downright dangerous and inconsiderate to pavement users, particularly the very young and elderly. I fail to see any reason whatsoever why, when a cyclist feels they are in danger from cars and need to take their bicycle on the pavement, they cannot dismount and walk with their bike like the rest of us. That is the law as it stands and

We also need to seriously look at whether we can really accommodate cycles on the promenade footpath between the Palace Pier and the bottom of West Street.

Binmen to strike

An online documentary following five housemates in Brighton with learning disabilities has been screened on American television. The Specials was picked up by Oprah Winfrey and made its debut on The Oprah Winfrey Network earlier this month, with a host of episodes screened back-to-back. Anyone who missed out on The Specials - which won the internet version of an Oscar for best documentary in 2010 - first time round can watch episodes online at: www.the-specials.com.

Brighton and Hove binmen are striking on Monday in what could be the first in a host of industrial actions. Union members voted for a full day of strike action on Monday amid a long-running dispute over pay and allowances. The row has been raging for more than a year and the GMB union warned the city could face months of potential disruptions. GMB Members voted 89.7% in favour of strike action.

Conversations Hurrah for the Scots!

Don’t let Mike Holland get away – he says what most of us think

independence would entrench a permanent Tory majority in England, don’t despair: If Scotland votes “Yes”, we could see a country on our own doorstep rejecting the austerity agenda of cuts and privatisation, getting rid of nuclear weapons and funnelling resources into renewable energy. The English and Welsh people may find the pursuit of a more equitable society tantalising. It would prompt a major constitutional review in the remaining UK. What an opportunity to get rid of loads of reactionary old constitutional drivel! And Labour would have to seriously re-think its position on proportional representation. What’s not to like?! So I say hurrah for the Scots for showing us that an alternative is possible – and how can it be done. Good luck on September 18!

Whatever the result of the Scottish Referendum the Scottish people have done the rest of us a huge favour. They have shown that you can campaign positively for radical change. You can convince people that another world is possible. You can take on the mighty political centre in an apparently hopeless quest for a utopia. It is a triumph for the politics of hope over fear. Of course, the “Yes” campaign may not win, but it is clear now that if they lose it will be by only the most slender of margins. And even if they do lose, the strength of the “Yes” campaign and the ensuing panic in Westminster have seen the Scots offered far more radical devolution than they had hoped for. Campaigning for the “impossible” has led to real reforms in the right direction. The “Yes” campaign has reinvigorated Scottish politics. The degree of public debate and genuine political involvement is unprecedented. The voting turnout is widely expected to be well over 80 per cent. And commentators agree that it is the “Yes” campaign which has energised young people and working class communities in a way that has not been seen for generations. It has been accompanied by radical thinking on a wider range of issues too. The motivation for independence is to break free from the Westminster political establishment with its tired policies of austerity and inequality and to tread an alternative path. To those who say Scottish

Once again the issue of cycling has featured heavily in your letters, emails and tweets. Many praised Becky Reynolds for her considered take on cycling in the city published in last week’s paper. Others, including our columnist Mike Holland still take issue with what they see as the anti-social nature of many cyclists in Brighton and Hove. The truth is that there are anti-social cyclists. Just as there are anti-social pedestrians and

motorists. That should not mean everybody on a bike should be tarred with the same brush. With the Tour of Britain visiting Brighton and Hove tomorrow we will see further evidence of the positive impact of cycling. There is a thriving cycling community in this city and the majority of cyclists take care when riding – just like the majority of most motorists do. There is room for everyone on our roads. Just so long as everyone is considerate of each other.

This year’s event culminated in a finale at the Brighton Dome, which saw both the author and the illustrator of The Sleeping Army bring the book to life in front of hundreds of children. More than 30 local schools took part.

Simon Kirby, the MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, has been named as the chairman of the A27 Reference Group. Organised by East Sussex County Council it has the primary job of bringing about improvements to the A27/ A259 corridor. It will be made up of other East Sussex MPs, prominent councillors and others. Mr Kirby said: “Improving roads is something that I have regularly raised and campaigned about extensively.”

The old Hove Police Station site is now home to junior school classrooms. The site in Holland Road is being used as a campus for Hove Junior School, which is based a mile away in School Road. There are now three classes at Holland Road, with a fourth due to start in September next year. Brighton and Hove City Council was the driving force behind the changes to the old police station site.

Jadey’s £200,000 fundraising dream Richard Morris @BrightonIndy An inspirational young sports coach with cerebral palsy is on a mission to raise £200,000 to help get more disabled people across Sussex involved in sport. Jadey Yesilada has teamed up with Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club’s charity wing, Albion in the Community (AITC), to launch Jadey’s Dream – a

fundraising project with the end goal of doubling the size and reach of AITC’s disability sport programme. Last year AITC helped over 2,000 disabled people take part in sport but 22-year-old Jadey wants to see that number increase over the coming months. Jadey, from Portslade, has personally benefited from AITC’s work. He joined one of the charity’s disability sports clubs at the age of six and has since

gone on to play for the club’s powerchair football team in the Wheelchair Football Association’s national Premier League. He completed an 18-month sports coaching apprenticeship with AITC and now coaches on the charity’s disability sports programme and earlier this year Jadey was named Sussex Apprentice of the Year at the Sussex Further Education Awards. Now he is determined to do all

he can to make sure others benefit from AITC’s work in the same way he has. Recent research by the English Federation of Disabled Sport shows disabled people are less likely to participate in sport than non-disabled people - with only one in six playing sport regularly compared to one in three nondisabled people. The research also revealed

I guess this is my way of trying to give something back" that 71% of disabled people do not participate in any sport whatsoever, compared to 48% of non-disabled people. Barriers to participation include transportation and access to trained coaches and sports clubs. AITC’s disability sports programme helps to overcome all of these and has a network of 20 disability sports clubs across Sussex. But there is still room for the scheme to grow, and that is where Jadey’s Dream comes in. Almost £90,000 has been raised during the first six months of the campaign, helped significantly by AITC’s first-ever Brighton to Paris bike ride which took place in June when 56 cyclists rode 130 miles from the Amex to the French capital. It raised tens of thousands of pounds and plans are already afoot to hold similar fundraiser next year – with Jadey determined to take part. “Yes, that’s definitely the plan,” he said. “For various reasons I wasn’t able to fully take part this

year but seeing everyone come together to support the appeal this year has made me even more determined to cycle all the way to Paris next summer.” Since the success of the sponsored cycle, Jadey has hosted a fundraising powerchair football tournament at the University of Brighton which saw local businesses enter teams and play against AITC’s two powerchair sides to help raise awareness of disability sport and raise money for the appeal. The next fundraising event is a golf day taking place at Goodwood on October 15 and AITC has also got a string of fundraising challenges lined up for Jadey to take part throughout the season. As far as Jadey is concerned, the sky is the limit. Speaking to Brighton & Hove Independent he said: “It has been my dream to give more young disabled people the chance that AITC gave me when I was younger. “I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in sport at a young age thanks to AITC and I also wouldn’t have been able to achieve so many other things in my life without them. “It is my passion to see other young people get the chances I had. I guess this is my way of trying to give something back.”

Sussex by the Sea: The big screen debate Sussex by the Sea has been Brighton and Hove Albion’s official anthem for longer than any fan can remember. The club play it as the team walk out onto the pitch at the Amex and thousands of fans clap along to its catchy beat. Last time out, however, gremlins found their way into the stadium’s public address system and the music cut out. The supporters found their collective voice and filled in the gaps. The result was stirring. Since then the debate as to whether to have the anthem’s words appear on the stadium's giant screens has reignited. Traditionalists say no. Others ask what harm it could do. We asked two Albion season ticket holders for their thoughts. So, should the club put the words on the big screen? Alan Wares @albionroar

While there is little in itself wrong with that, for me it doesn’t get to the root of the issue - that is, knowing the words off by heart. I don’t believe people will learn the words by reading them on the screen while the music is playing. They would be forgotten within 10 minutes of the match starting. It occurs to me that people best learn the words to their favourite songs by having a recording of it and singing along in the comfort of their own home. If there are any mis-heard words (“’S’cuse me while I kiss this guy…”), people will refer to a libretto, or online lyrics. But they are almost always a secondary or tertiary considerations; it’s singalong just about every time. The problem, in the instance of Sussex by the Sea is that there is no decent recorded choral version of the song out there. My suggestion, therefore, would

be to have a male choir go into the studio to record a version, accompanied by an appropriate marching band, and have this played over the PA as the teams come out. When we had DonnaMarie Hughes, an opera singer at the Amex, she sang the teams out, and it was sensational. I appreciate that there would be an expenditure to this, but sales of the CD could re-coup some of the costs, with a possible incentive of a donation/percentage going to Albion In The Community. Even if there is a financial loss, the reward - especially on the back of the challenge Tony Bloom has thrown out to create a better atmosphere - would be for an enormous 25,000-strong sing-along choral rendition as the teams come out. And that ought to be the ultimate pre-match goal. Alan Wares is a regular guest on The Albion Roar, every Saturday at 12pm on Radio Reverb 97.2FM, online at radioreverb.com or on podcast at www.albionroar.co.uk

Jem Stone @jemstone series of collective Yes Amyths have taken hold about what really happened on that long, long evening of Monday, May 13 2013. Incredibly it wasn’t the tactical supremacy of Ian Holloway, Ashley Barnes missing a sitter and Wayne Bridge’s inability to defend the very last time Wilfred Zaha performed on a football pitch that led to our cruellest defeat. In amidst ceilings being hit and unexplained dressing room shenanigans apparently Gus Poyet had other ideas. Only a few hours later it was reported that he thought that the “extremely silly idea” of lyrics of Sussex By the Sea and the “annoying noise” of free “clackers” handed to every fan had been a factor. Going further, fan forum North Stand Chat was full of such theories and club zine; The Seagull Love Review

described these brief attempts to encourage a pre-match atmosphere as “something akin to a North Korean military rally” with an opera singer’s rendition of the song itself as “the single worse non-football related thing I have ever seen at this club”. It’s true that clubs mess with tradition at their peril and I agree attempts to encourage fan singing is fraught with difficulty. Only Mike Bamber, and then only for a few weeks, was foolish or brave enough to stop using Sussex by the Sea in the club's 100 year history. However, there are other myths. Despite the proud North Stand banner and a few examples of "Stand or Fall" t-shirts dotted about, virtually nobody sings the real lyrics of the century old marching song. All around me voices prefer to shout out “Na na na” and then mostly at the wrong speed. Even the faintly embarrassing “Up for the Cup” lines were invented by Norman Wisdom dancing round

Even if this means with some help from words in the programme or on the big screens. And stuff what our friends up the A23 think. Their traditional 1964 “South London” anthem is in fact better known as the biggest hit of the Tottenham Sound. And that isn’t a myth.

It’s a question for your imagination. I’ve seen the positive effects of developing digital skills beyond the classroom environment, first hand. But I worry about inclusivity and the system’s ability to meet the demands of a growing industry. As our digital existence grows, fully inclusive festivals like Brighton Digital Festival help open access and offer everyone the opportunity to play, delivering an array of lively events and activities to capture everyone’s imagination.

As such, it’s great to see the Festival’s education programme is back, with tons of fun and inspiring activities designed to complement the digital culture topics in the GCSE curriculum. Two of these events have even been specifically funded through the Brighton Digital Festival Education Commissions. Project: OggBots!, is an immersive adventure to rebuild your own OggBot and the B.Fest Young Inventors Centre, offers workshops exploring topics including 3D printing, film production and digital music. When I started out in PR, digital existed almost as a separate entity, with its own designated space in the office. I would have to consciously make the decision to go to the only computer with an internet connection, to trail through a largely empty yet strange network. Today, we live in that network and digital is a core channel of communication, an essential tool for my industry - in fact, like many of us, the first thing I do

when I wake up in the morning is to go on line, read the news and check my emails and that sets the tone for the rest of the day. The boundaries are still open and it is the next generation who will find where digital culture can take us. Inspiring and supporting young people to flourish in the digital community is one of the Festival’s ambitions, and something that I am extremely passionate about. The digital industries are brimming with opportunities for those with the right skills. Get down to one of the more than 160 events that are part of the Brighton Digital Festival and be inspired the education programme and so much more.

Theo Paphitis: Brighton was on our list from day one Mark Ansell @BrightonIndy

Theo Paphitis, the former star of Dragons’ Den, was in Brighton this week to officially open his new Boux Avenue store in Churchill Square. The new store, which specialises in lingerie, nightwear and swimwear, has created 20 jobs and Mr Paphitis is confident the branch will be a success here in Brighton and Hove. The popular businessman took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Brighton & Hove Independent manager director Mark Ansell about what makes the lingerie chain unique and the current retail climate. Mark Ansell (MA): “You have already opened 22 Boux Avenue stores in the UK, the one in Brighton will be the 23rd. What made you chose the city as the location for your new store?” Theo Paphitis (TP): “Brighton was on our list from day one. We are only ever going to open 30 stores but Brighton is a very tight place to

get into. It is very rare you can get a decent positioned stall here, hence we had to compromise a little bit to fit us in this one, so it was a case of waiting, nothing else. “If a stall had become available earlier then we would have been here earlier. Boring as it may be, that is the truth. “I can’t wait to welcome shoppers into Boux Avenue’s first Sussex store. Brighton is a leading stylish shopping destination and so a simple choice to open the 23rd store in this ever fashion conscious town.” MA: “So has confidence returned to the high street - or have we still got a long way to go?” TP: “High street is very specific. This is a shopping centre, not a high street. Shopping centres are one of the problems on the high street to be frank with you. But consumer confidence is good, it was never as low as the politicians and the Stat Office would like you to believe. “We launched in the middle of the recession but either we must be incredibly stupid or very brave. I like to think I am a little bit brave but I am not completely stupid. “Consumer confidence has not been as bad as they say and it is

getting stronger. You still notice the peaks and dips approaching pay day which is always a good barometer of people’s finances but retail is alive and kicking and doing well.” MA: "As the retail industry continues to advance digitally, why do you think it's important for Boux Avenue to have a high street presence?” TP: “This is a classical store - a classic boudoir store, but it has as much technology in it as your average Apple shop. “I can change the promotion or the price on the till in a matter of seconds from the office. That shows you that things are progressing but people still want to have the physical experience. “If you think about it, we are an internet shop with a physical experience. Everything is exactly the same as if you had your terminal at home.” MA: “What makes Boux Avenue different from your competitors? And what will attract Brighton shoppers to your store?” TP: “Number one: there is nothing like us. There is not another

lingerie store nationwide like us that offers such exquisite service. Lingerie is the most personal item of clothing for girls. “We have changing rooms which have three types of lighting in them. No woman wants to see herself in florescent lighting in the middle of winter. “You can change the lighting and there is intercom service if there is something you require. “We give you a really personal service but importantly at affordable prices. It is normal Marks and Spencer's prices but what you get here is a really fantastic shopping experience. “You get your lingerie wrapped in a beautiful bag, you get a beautiful box with scented petals and it is all about the experience.”

MA: “Brighton is establishing itself as a hotspot for start-ups. If you could give one piece of advice for local entrepreneurs about how to thrive in the current economic conditions and get ahead of their competition, what would it be?” TP: “The current economic climate is a sensitivity to your business plan, it is not your business plan. “People make money in good times and bad times, they start business in good times and bad times. Some of the most successful businesses have started in difficult times. We started in the middle of the recession three years ago. “It is about doing your homework, it really is. It is making sure you know your business and your business plan. That is what it is about.”

A melancholy month... September is often described as a melancholy month. The weather can be glorious but you know that these warm days are numbered. The summer holiday feels like a distant memory and winter will be here before you know it. As a Collaborative Family Lawyer and Mediator the majority of my clients are parents. They chose the collaborative approach to ending their relationship because they want to move forward as parents, if not as partners. Over the years many have told me that regardless of how old their children are September marked a turning point in their relationship. Why? September, for families perhaps more than any other month is deﬁned by endings, by letting go but also by new beginnings. For parents letting go of children as they start school, college, or university. But for children September is an exciting month whereby they are gaining new independence. For me the mix of feelings that September encompasses to some extent mirrors how couples navigate the ending of their relationship. A divorce or separation is characterised by being both an ending and a new beginning.

I ask them to think about when children are very little; learning to take their first steps, ride their first bike. They are often fierce in demanding that mum or dad holds their hand, or the back of their bike so they don’t fall. As you gradually release your grip and trail behind, they slowly but surely gain confidence. And before you know it children will insist that mum or dad let go. They can manage on their own. When the grip is released, some children will topple and fall but after a while most will head off pretty steadily. Years down the line it’s time for parents to let go again. When children leave home it’s a time when parents have to accept that their children are embarking on their own futures. Perhaps with a wobble or two but in time steadily. Looking back each step towards independence children took made their parents in turn feel wobbly or steady. Ending a relationship is similar to the empty nest syndrome – everyone will experience it differently. For some, it’s an exciting time of new freedom; for others, it’s a lonely, sad transition. The important thing to remember is that wobbles are inevitable but in time you can and will get there.

As I guide my clients through the process I try and reassure them that as parents over the years they will have experienced many emotional times, where they have had to let go.

Ambitious plans for Circus Street revamp Paula Seager

Paula Seager is the Managing Director, of Natural PR and is an expert in public relations and community engagement. During my three decades in Brighton, the only other regeneration scheme that reflects the magnitude of the Circus Street ambition is the Jubilee Square area, with its superb public library and square and lively streets, built on what was a muddy car park and derelict buildings housing only pigeons. I think most will agree that was a success. Circus Street is a similar brown field site, startlingly central in the city, just behind a row of houses and shops on Valley Gardens and right next to the University of Brighton’s Art Faculty building. It’s hard to believe that such a large, city centre site, mainly comprising the derelict old municipal market warehouse, has remained untouched for ten years now, but of course there has been a recession. Now through a public private partnership (PPP) led by Cathedral (Brighton) Ltd and McLaren with Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Brighton, a £100 million development scheme is proposed to transform the area into a vibrant new quarter of the city,

bringing cultural, economic and educational benefits to a currently deprived area. The overall scheme would create nearly 400 new jobs, inject £200 million into the local and wider economy over the next ten years and generate £1 million in additional revenue per year from council tax, business rates and new homes bonus in the first two years and £660,000 annually thereafter. Central to the designs is a public square with small, independent restaurants and shops, opening onto it will be an exciting new public building, The Dance Space, expected to attract 70,000 visitors per year. This shiny new building will offer dance performance and community studios and be home to South East Dance, which manages dance for The Dome and Brighton Festival as well as community dance activities across the region. Other features include a new University of Brighton library and academic building with a publicly accessible exhibition space; 142 new homes, including 28 affordable; 450 student bedrooms in a quality, managed student halls of residence; and 38,000 square foot of new office space plus workshops offering creative businesses start up accommodation and room to grow. Martyn Evans, Creative Director of Cathedral (Brighton) Ltd, says: “Our goal is to make Circus Street the go-to place for Brighton’s

creative individuals, innovative business start-ups, students and nearby residents.” Architects Shedkm, designed the scheme and won the project against strong competition because of their understanding of Brighton and the way their design follows the historical urban grain and laine structure of the area, with small footprint buildings, access to all areas at ground level and lots of interesting outdoor space. There have been many changes to the final design in response to a major public consultation which started in April last year with feed back from neighbours, conservation groups and dozens of interested organisations. Building heights and mass have been reduced, structures moved further away from neighbours and a community garden for direct neighbours with a linking pathway has been added, as well as planting 78 trees in and around the site. The result is a stunning area with high sustainability credentials, which I believe Brightonians will embrace and will bring a huge number of benefits to the city.

Student housing 450 bedrooms to meet student needs and free up family housing in other areas of the city. The new residences are built on one of the key sites designated by the emerging City Plan, near to facilities and on the transport corridor for university campuses. They will benefit from 24-hour on site management.

It’s easy to keep your drain clear Help prevent blockages that can be a pain in the drain and lead to flooding

142 new homes including 28 affordable homes, providing much needed new housing for the city to fuel the current under supply. The flats are high quality design, built in town house style buildings and include high sustainability credentials.

Restaurants and shops: Circus Square, which is larger than Jubilee Square, will offer a lively and enjoyable place to sit, shop, eat and watch performances. Restaurants and shops will be at ground level enlivening the area day and night, designed to attract small independent traders, including a subsidized retail unit for the popular Wood Store Brighton, currently the only business based on site.

In the kitchen • Never pour fat, oil or grease down sinks, drains or toilets. Over time, this can cause blockages and lead to flooding in your street or even your home • Before washing dishes, scrape or tip cold fat, oil and grease – as well as food scraps – into a disposable container, let the fat solidify then put it in the bin

• Where appropriate, try to reuse oil and fat • Your local authority recycling centre may have an oil and fat recycling facility

Sustainable living Circus Street has high sustainability credentials, designed in accordance with One Planet Living standards that promote healthy, vibrant, sustainable places. The design of the site weaves sustainability and responsible and healthy living into the lives of people living in and using the site. Highly energy efficient buildings with green energy to all new homes, growing areas to promote locally sourced and homegrown produce, safe pedestrian and cycle routes, 600 secure cycle spaces and a free bike for every new resident. The scheme also includes a combined heating and power plant allowing heat recovery, green roof tops specially designed to create biodiverse habitats, grey water recycling and photovoltaic panels. Seventy-eight trees are also included in public spaces across the site and neighbouring areas and a 14m elm tree is already on site intended to be part of the new public space.

This will enhance the creative, cultural and educational footprint of the city in a key, central, previously run-down area. The well-designed buildings will give new energy and appeal to this vital part of the city. "

Community garden

Dick Knight Brighton & Hove Albion Life President

Over £100,000 has been committed to a community garden on Carlton Row, neighbouring the Circus Street site, created and maintained in collaboration with residents of the pre-exisiting Kingswood and Milner flats next door. It will include a meandering pathway with raised beds and attractive planting, with room for residents to grow produce and potential for direct access to the new development. A commitment has also been made towards a new play area in Nelson Row.

Library and academic building University of Brighton library facilities housing the art faculty’s unique design collection, teaching space and a publicly accessible exhibition space, including café and media centre. This building will be open for exhibitions and cultural events and the library will be public for reference purposes.

A public building with theatre and community dance studios, expected to attract around 70,000 visitors per year. The Dance Space will be home to South East Dance, which manages the dance programme for The Dome and Brighton Festival and community dance activities across the region. The building includes open air performance space on Circus Square.

Ron Crank Chief Executive, Coast to Capital LEP

The combined provision of new homes, employment space, new facilities for the University of Brighton, student accommodation and a headquarters for South East Dance is an exceptionally strong and strategic use of the land available."

Tony Mernagh Executive Director, Brighton & Hove Economic

Commercial space The Dance Space

"This project will regenerate and revitalize an important part of the city, creating jobs, homes and space for business and study. Brighton and Hove really needs this development.

38,000 square foot of much needed Grade-A flexible office space for start-up and mid-sized creative companies to address the current shortage of quality space in the city, thereby helping to retain and attract businesses. The site also includes workshop units for artists and local independent businesses.

"This part of the city is crying out for renewal and this development offers that in the form of a vibrant mix of housing, business and academic facilities. It offers the prospect of an exciting new start for the area, which will surely have a positive impact on the communities around it. Duncan Blinkhorn Community Projects Co-ordinator, Groundwork South

This week's must-see An evening with Sir Roger Moore Theatre Royal Thursday, September 18, 7.30pm For a generation of James Bond fans, Sir Roger Moore simply IS 007. No actor has appeared as Bond more times than Sir Roger and a number of the all-time classic Bond films, such as The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me and Live and Let Die, featured him in the lead role. In fact, he has twice been voted the best bond in polls - including the latest in 2008 which saw him win 62% of the vote. He has, however, more strings to his bow than simply James Bond. Sir Roger also spent seven years playing Simon Templar in The Saint and is a goodwill ambassador of the international charity UNICEF. The actor will lift the lid on his career at the Theatre Royal on Thursday. He will chat with biographer Gareth Owen about his astounding life and career, including stories and anecdotes

from behind the scenes from his various film and TV sets. Fans will also be given the chance to put their own questions to Sir Roger at the end of the show. A unique opportunity not to be missed. Tickets cost Tickets £28.90 plus £2.85 transaction fee* and are available online: www.atgtickets.com/brighton or by calling: 0844 871 7650.

Tickets on sale now Mogwai Brighton Dome Sunday, October 26, 8pm Over the two decades, Mogwai have quietly cornered the market for multi-layered sonics. The band’s largely instrumental works are soundscapes in the truest sense of the word: guitarheavy, effects-laden evocations of stark grandeur and tranquil beauty. Following the release of their eighth studio album, Rave

Tapes, earlier this year, Mogwai bring their epic live show to Brighton Dome on October 26. Rave Tapes is the eighth studio album by Mogwai and their second on Rock Action, the label they set up almost 18 years ago to issue their debut 7in single, Tuner/Lower. The Scottish quintet have established themselves through a prolific recorded output and a commitment to touring that few can match.

Since the beginning of the decade, Mogwai have released four full-length records, one live album, two EPs, three singles and a special re-issue of their second studio album Come On Die Young. Factor in a pancontinental live schedule and myriad festival appearances and you get a sense of how much of themselves the members of Mogwai invest in their work.

Over the past few weeks there’s been some impressive work from the likes of ex-Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan, one of the oldest gymnasts on the show, and actor Bobby Lockwood, one of the youngest. Now the six finalists and their professional partners hope to win over viewers with their floor challenges.

the city is our office Bonett’s

Property particulars Even the name is archaic and I imagine a whole host of people will think: what is he talking about? Back in the day as we call it, when ‘property particulars’ were duplicated on a roneo, or some other awful, ink-splodging piece of machinery, we spoke about: ‘the accommodation comprises’, ‘3 double power points’, ‘double radiators’, ‘wall light socket’, and so on. Yes, this was toward the end of the twentieth century, not the nineteenth as you may have thought. Well, the

problem is we have hardly moved on. Here are some classic current examples; no name, no pack-drill... ‘A rare opportunity to acquire one of Brighton's...’ ‘A magnificent, beautifully designed and superbly appointed executive home...’ ‘...are delighted to announce this unique and rare opportunity to acquire this stunning...’ ‘...delighted to offer this impressive four bedroom detached family home, situated arguably in one of...’ This is a tiny selection of properties on the local market at the moment, all with the same kind of ‘fluff’. But what do potential buyers want? Probably, address, external and internal photographs (without

too much ‘wide angle’), room measurements and floor plan, some web-links to local area. Anything else? The verbiage in property descriptions has not moved on, except to get more over the top. As a buyer, what do you want? Tell us at paulbonett@bonetts.co.uk Agents will say that sellers insist on a flowery approach. Do you really? Most interesting response in our opinion will get a £15 Butlers Wine Cellar voucher - www.butlerswinecellar.co.uk Paul Bonett F.N.A.E.A. M.A.R.L.A. Paulbonett@bonetts.co.uk Twitter: @bonettpa
