Well Brighton to be precise. In recent years I've always enjoyed trips to Brighton. I've been on a number of occasions for gigs and always been surprised how unthreatening the streets seem late in the evening. Yesterday we returned by day took a stroll by the sea and revisited a pub I'd been to before, the Barley Mow in Kemptown. The fact that the pub had a range of real ales and a selection of vegetarian food, earned it high marks.
Later walking through the narrow streets and lanes in the centre of the city, I realised that Brighton seemed to be what other places might have been if Britain had moved in a progressive direction thirty years ago. I could eat in virtually every restaurant and even found a vegetarian shoe shop ! Perhaps it's little wonder that Brighton Pavilion is the constituency most likely to elect a Green Party MP next month.
Talking of the election, I'm sure that I can't be the only one who is offended by party leaders flying around the country in private jets, so much for concern about CO2. Finally what's happened to George Osbourne, the Conservative Shadow Chancellor ? He hasn't been seen since his less than inspiring performance in the "Chancellor's debate". Perhaps someone should report him as a missing person.
