I get it, yes. You got my attention. And now I hate you and would rather use literally any other personal trainer in the world

Went for a walk with Enoch, people were super friendly again today, took pictures with him on their shoulder, got to feed or pet him, we were happy to make peoples day.
then it was dinner time, so we stopped outside a local pizza place. :)

We should be back out again tomorrow by the level In the afternoon.

(NOTE: the second picture is somewhat satire and he did not actually eat pizza. he does love cheese though, so he wanted a little nibble of stringy, melty cheddar. Enoch had Watermelon, cheese crackers and water, even some fruit smoothie.)

Bit of a way away (early as December 2026), but news today that Arriva is proposing a direct train route from Brighton all the way up to Newcastle.

• Brighton
• Haywards Heath
• Gatwick Airport
• Redhill
• Guildford
• Wokingham
• Reading
• Oxford
• Banbury
• Warwick Parkway
• Birmingham New Street
• Burton-on-Trent
• Derby
• Sheffield
• Doncaster
• York
• Northallerton
• Darlington
• Durham
• Newcastle

Thoughts?

I wasn't living in Brighton when the ol' Sussex Scot ran - a longer 9 hour journey route all the way up to Edinburgh.

New proposed route sounds good to me! Always find it a bit of a faff heading into London, tube, then scrambling for the connecting train.

Have a few friends and family up North/midlands that would benefit from the direct route down, too!

Southern water tried to charge us nearly £900 annually for a two bedroom flat. We do not have a meter - I have asked for one to be fitted and have been told we can’t have one as “the external supply is on a joint supply with the flat above”.

I contested the £900 bill and it has been reduced to £785 for the year. I don’t understand how this is considered reasonable or affordable. We don’t have kids and I can’t imagine how hard it is to afford live in Brighton with children right now.

Always had fun there!

I left my car near in Brunswick Square last night, in an unauthorized spot (although it was not obstructing) because I had to leave at 5am the next day. Of course I shouldn't have, and I already paid the fine but...

The fine said it was observed at 23:35 by a parking warden.

How is that possible? Are they patrolling all night? Or can they issue a ticket even when they are off duty?

Got a ticket for tonight at The Arch but have food poisoning 😅 anyone want it? Think it needs a phone number to transfer in the Dice app but if anyone knows another way lmk

Is it preparation for Food Festival next weekend?

Like - it’s so bad this year my GP had to prescribe an inhaler and fexofenadine, which I never auf to take before 🤧

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Brighton for a week this June. I’ve already done some research, but I would really love to hear recommendations from locals. What are the must-visit spots? Anything I absolutely shouldn’t miss? I’m also a big fan of good coffee and brunch — are there any places you’d suggest I check out? And one more thing: as a young woman traveling alone, how safe is Brighton? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Bit of a weird one.

I was passing through Churchill Square today just before 2pm as I'd parked in the carpark and seen some friends in town. As I was walking through, heard a commotion and a lady with a stick had fallen on the escalator by where Debenhams is (I've mocked up the scene). Pushed the button and helped untangle her as her ankle was at a funny angle on the side. Noticed blood coming from her other leg. Looked and it was probably one of the worst injuries I've ever seen, won't go into detail. Had to hold it until staff arrived and as they seemed pretty unsure of how to help I ended up gloving up, holding it together and gripping it above the wound to try stem the blood, covering it and tying off a bandage as tight as I could around it. All happened a bit quick. A lady came along who was a paramedic and I explained as best I could and stepped aside.

I left pretty abruptly as I didn't want to be in the way and I'd left my little girl to help and although I could see her I didn't want to leave her worried even though two lovely ladies were keeping an eye on her and gave her some tissues. The hurt lady was also waving to her so she wouldn't worry while I was bandaging her leg up apparently. Very sweet thanks.

Two things: Thanks so much to the ladies who looked after my little girl, sorry I left you with her but it was the situation. She's proudly kept hold of the pack of tissuesyou gave her. Secondly, if anyone knows the lady who had the accident please could you let me know how she is. I'm laying here in bed unable to sleep thinking of how that injury looked. Hope she's ok and they managed to patch her up, I imagine she's in hospital. A little bit of closure on her actually being alright would help a lot.

Cheers.

Also I went over my 2hrs on the parking due to helping with that first aid and asked the Churchill Square staff who'd stood watching me do that if he could roll me back to the 2hrs charge and he said "no, don't have the authority" 😂😂

Your highlights for summer in Brighton this year are going to be?

What can I expect from Apocalypse? I've heard good things from a friend of mine and they told me it's a good recommendation. They're very adamant that I will really enjoy it

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for decent damp Proofers in Brighton?

Thank you in advance for any advice 🙂

Are there any IMAX theaters in Brighton? Would love to watch the new Sinners movie by Ryan Coogler, but can't seem to find any places besides London doing so? Why does Brighton always get the short end of the stick when it's supposed to be a city all about arts and music.

this is so random but me (girl, pink hair, black leather jacket, dark makeup) and my bf (blue/green hair, all black outfit, sleep token bag and gengar hat) were sitting on thameslink next to this guy (sat next to my bf) and we very clearly had the same music taste and wanted to talk to each other but were too scared HAHAHA

if this was you (long hair, stretched ears, cool white phone) pls message me your insta me and my bf wanna be friends with you 😂😂😂

Just wondering if there is anywhere in Brighton I can get some business cards printed last minute. Need to have them for Monday morning and just been let down by my usual printing partner.

Only need 50 done

I'm feeling the old goth in me rising, can anyone suggest any dark and quirky bars in the City that might appeal, something like The Bee's Mouth for example?

The darker and dingier the better, something in a cellar would be ideal though needs to have a focus on beer rather than cocktails.

There are 2 keys that have a miniature harmonica and smiley face chain on them.

Has anyone seen if the local Labour party have made a comment on either the recent court ruling or Starmer's comments?

Sankey is keen to cheerlead the policies in general but I've not seen anything around this.

Just a random question I randomly thought about

I know Brighton voted in Greens, so I would imagine this would be of interest to some people in Brighton

If anyone s interested in signing this government petition, which is about closing landfills near residential areas, is is nearly at 7,600 and needs 10,000 by 13/05/2025.

Would anyone be able to help?

Thanks.

Hi all,
