Since the recent move by BBC Southern Counties Radio to new studios in Queen's Road, Brighton, JoAnne Good persists in referring to her new location as Ocean Boulevard.
What a ridiculous misnomer.
The nearest ocean is nearly 300 miles away at Lands End and Horsham High School-educated JoAnne must know a boulevard is a wide, tree-lined avenue.
Take another look at Queen's Road, JoAnne, and while you are searching for those elusive trees take care not to trip over an empty beer can. Tin Pan Alley perhaps?
Queen's Road terminates at the Clock Tower, so does JoAnne's mythical Ocean Boulevard take over West Street in order to reach the sea?
If so, this makes an unacceptable extraction from the city's quartet of directional streets - North, South, East and West. Furthermore, Middle Street would lose its bearings.
Queen's Road has its own character, with its raised paving and protective iron railings, and needs no false embellishment.
Be patient, JoAnne, even Millionaires Row may come eventually but, in the meantime, hands off our history.
