For personal reasons, i lived in Brighton, UK for 3 years, from November 1990 to November 1993, "Cheers" to your review, it brings me very blimy good memories I had and lived there, your review recollects exactlly my Dear of what I lived... I saw personally Mr. Eric Clapton rehearsing before his concert, and driving in his black sports car from his home to the concert, and The One and only..Mr. B.B. King .opening Mr. Gary Moore lots of music, specially blues.. I had a lot of fun...At the Lanes...Palace Pier.. you can do everything you want...The Pubs.. I loved...(thats why I did not saved any money..during the time i was there, dont regret it..) lived in Hove, and Shoreham By sea..loved the train and bus systems...even though the English themselves are very centered and very proper at the beginning..they are very bohemian..friendly, and party animals...ja..you can do everything you like.. I recommend travelling to Brighton , to everybody..the restaurants , Pubs...uff... beers.. meet all kinds of people from Europe..and you can take the train and be in London in 45 mn, at the Victoria Station...ah.. Dont forget to have the Traditional tea with them, Dont even think about talking against the monarchy.. Blimy.. and dont forget to wear your fine hat if they invite you to a wedding...you may find yourself in a very windy and wet and specially dark day after day...
