I was sorry the City of Brighton and Hove did not make the shortlist for European Capital of Culture.

I was interested to see the photos of the landmarks in the other cities that were selected.

I would be interested to see the landmarks Brighton and Hove could offer in competition - Churchill Square, the uncollected rubbish in the streets, the traffic congestion or the wonderful parking amenities you offer?

Maybe you need to learn to walk before you can go out to play with the big boys.
