No i'm strictly a booze and fags man these days , but those out there who like a touch of the Bolivian marching powder ,may get a nasty surprise.
Landlords especially at the Station in Hove have started putting Vaseline on the cisterns of the toilets making the nasal ingestion of cocaine rather more complicated , but bloody funny if you happen to be in the next cubicle. Leave a Comment

 Fish & Chips served the right
way by amapola66
I remember 'going down the chippy', usually on a Friday night, and getting our fish and chips served in old newpaper wrapping.
It was a cheap option then - Now, due to cod prices going through the roof (oooh the price of fish these days) and ermmm other things I'm sure, a decent fish and chip supper (fish and chips is always referred to as 'supper' rather than dinner for some reason) can set you back 7 quid.
Fish and chips from fish and chip shops are freshly prepared from natural products. Fillets of fish, mostly haddock or cod but sometimes plaice and whiting, are covered in batter, fried until golden and served with freshly chipped potatoes
When I was a kid, it was always cod or rock salmon (the latter with a bone down the middle) with chips, ketchup and a giant pickled onion. We should not forget the two slices of stodgy white processed bread thick with real butter and a good strong mug of tea.
Yum.
When in Brighton, grab some fish and chips to take away and go and munch them on the beach. There's nothing like it on an autumn evening.
Best fish and chip shop locally?
It has to be Bardsleys in Baker Street, off the London Road. Unpretentious and friendly, they serve up the best fish & chips in town.Thin batter makes for thin and light food, not greasy and stodgy like some; All the cod is line caught in highly regulated Norwegian waters and frozen rapidly at sea.
Among the menu - Cod and Chips (£5.50). Grilled Sea Bass and Chips (£7.95). They also do Pea Fritters and Bubble Cake.

 And it tells the time
too! by themajor
The golden ball on top of the spire is supposed to rise gradually and then fall on the hour. Apparently it does it...but erratically. Keep your eyes peeled! Leave a Comment

 Small Person, Balloon &
Cockles & Mussels by amapola66
There is usually a choice of cockles, mussels, whelks (kind of chewy and gritty), little shrimp or prawns and jellied eels (not my favourite!)
You smother them in salt, pepper, lemon juice and more vinegar and eat them with a tooth pick.
(My advise is to go for the prawns). Leave a Comment

 English Pub by HORSCHECK
English Pubs usually don't have a waiter service. You have to go to the bar to buy your drinks and to pay immediately after your order. The beers for sale are either on draught (on tap), in bottles or cans.
Famous types of british beers are: Ale, Mild, Bitter and Stout. Leave a Comment

The traditional English seaside tourist should be about 90 and never actually go swimming. The closest they ever get to the water is to roll their trousers ( high waisted naturally ) up to their knees and go for a paddle. You can complete the look by wearing a string vest ,and the balder gentleman can tie knots in the corners of a handkerchief and place on the head to protect the scalp. Then merely hire a deckchair and fall asleep while reading the Daily Telegraph. This can also apply to visitors to the cricket. Leave a Comment
