It's obvious - why don't we all boycott the Palace (sorry, Brighton) Pier, who have seen to it that the West Pier has never been restored.

Who do the Noble organisation think they are? They change the name. Why? Then do all they can to stop the West Pier being restored. Can't they face competition?

Not to worry, the West Pier will be "classy", not another fairground show, and won't try to compete with the Palace Pier. We always had two piers, with no trouble.

Why can't we have two piers again?
