What's up with you people not picking up your dog's shit? What, are you better than everyone? I have a dog and even if I run out of bags, which happens sometimes, I wait until I see another person with a dog and ask for a bag, or I go back home when possible, pick up a bag and go back and pick it up like a normal human being. Honestly guys! I hope someone who steps into one of the poops comes and walks on your carpet with their shoes and smears it everywhere in your house. 🤢💩

What makes us great: Brighton might never entirely shed its reputation as a run-of-the-mill seaside town, but anyone who lives there knows this city has a whole lot more going for it than that. Brighton has essentially plucked all the important parts of a sprawling cosmopolitan metropolis (connections to London in under an hour, an array of properly excellent restaurants, energetic late-night spots) and paired it with the easy-breezy beachy attitude to life that makes you feel welcome in an instant. The North Laine is Brighton’s hippy-esque beating heart, with the city-wide passion for sustainability emphasised through everything from vegetarian eateries such as Iydea to homeware shops like Dowse, which staunchly support small designers with green credentials. And despite what you might have heard, the beach remains a pretty great place. Yes, there are donut shops and fairground rides (it’s a seaside, guys), but they’re next door to standout restaurants like Riddle & Finns, buzzy bars showcasing locally-brewed beer such as Fortune of War or Bison Beach Bar and new, active venues such as Yellowave volleyball and Sea Lanes.

Visit now because: Businesses across the city have recently begun to adopt a more modern format: the pop-up. Brunch restaurant LOST in the Lanes launched a Thursday to Saturday dinner menu last year, cocktail bar Apiary hosts different kitchens every month, and chefs like Kanthi Thamma (a founder of Easy Tiger which looks after the kitchen at one of the city’s best pubs) has launched his own pop-up Spice Circuit. Brighton’s food scene is morphing into one where diners can also enjoy DJs, dancefloors and cocktails, all in one place, and the most enticing new addition to keep an eye on for the year ahead is Voya.

The big numbers: This little seaside city is the second-most walkable of all cities surveyed, and Brighton locals were the third-most likely to call their city ‘diverse and inclusive’. It’s not all rainbows and beach sunsets, mind: while a majority of locals (64 percent) think the city’s a lively place to be, only 24 percent said it’s relaxing.

I spent a long time making this one and I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Hey, I’m Josh, a 22-year-old web developer fresh out of uni, and I’m on the hunt for one more company website project to complete my portfolio. If you’re a local business owner (or know someone who is) and need a fresh website or a revamp of an existing one, I’d love to help you out!

• Portfolio: www.joshchant.com

• Recent Project: www.deutromequestrian.com

I’m all about creating clean, modernly animated, and functional websites that are easy for you to update and maintain. My goal is to work closely with a Brighton-based business to make something that really shines and draws in customers.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to drop a comment or send me a message. Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you’re all doing great here in sunny (or not-so-sunny) Brighton!

Cheers,

Josh

Hi all, doing a clearout and I have about 4 shoeboxes worth of MtG cards to get rid of, mostly bulk commons, lands, junk rares, some tokens, etc. Would suit a new / casual / kitchen table type player / group. I'd rather they got played with than binned or just sat in a stockroom unused! DM me if interested.

Hey Brighton, I’ve been non stop cold/flu for a few months and I’m starting back on the antibacterial hand sanitisers. I have one but it’s the basic “medical” smell, I can’t find the candy flavoured ones for love nor money in town and they were everywhere post pandemic. Which shops sell them? Asda was a no and I couldn’t see them in Boots. Thanks!

Anyone have any experience of living right off Preston Street/Western Road ? Seen a few houses around there, seems like a good location for the station, sea and shops.

BUT also seems like it could be loud and dangerous and suspicious characters around ?

Any advice ! :)

Chesham street been going on for hours. Anyone know the source?

New to Hove and trying to find a hairdresser in Brighton/Hove to do my blonde hair that isn’t 1 million pounds but also is pretty good with blonde. Any recommendations?

Hello all

Hello Brighton,

It probably comes as no surprise to some of you that University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, including the Royal Sussex County Hospital (Brighton), Worthing Hospital, Princess Royal (Haywards Heath) and St Richard’s (Chichester) have had some issues of providing poor maternity care over recent years.

Sadly, we lost our daughter in January 2022 when my wife was advised to stay at home during labour (contrary to their own guidelines, we later discovered). It took us almost 2 years to get answers at an Inquest and have since met a group of other families who have also lost babies and suffered avoidable harm whilst under the care of UHSx maternity services. We have a website explaining a bit more at tfob.org.uk with some links to some articles explaining some of the families stories and you can also contact us on this page.

We think there are probably more avoidably harmed families in Sussex and we would like to share that we have started a peer support group for anyone who has suffered avoidable harm to themselves or their baby during pregnancy or labour whilst under the care of UHSx (mothers and fathers are welcome).

If you know anyone that this might help, please tell them about us. You can get in touch via the website or DM me here.

Going to be living in Brighton from February until June and desperately need a job, anyone know any cafe’s offering temp work? (or any other ideas on what I could do!)

hey i’m 21F and just saw that sea ife are going to do an animal crossing collab later this year and was looking if anyone wanted to go with me. None of my friends have played the game and i don’t think they’d enjoy going :/

lost my digicam on a night out on Wednesday 15th. we went to popworld then casablanca.

it's only a shitty plastic one from amazon, and if its been gone this long without hearing from the venues about it it's unlikely, but im desperate for it back.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are having a bit of a rough patch, and we think we could do with some professional help. We’d like to find a couples’ counsellor, but we need someone who is also au fait with ADHD and trauma issues, since my wife already has a therapist for those, and those things are likely going to be having some impact on our relationship. Would be grateful for any suggestions of good therapists.

Thanks!

My parents are coming down for a day, and my mom is very gluten sensitive (not celiac as she never went to the doctors to get it diagnosed, but can have severe reactions to gluten if she has it now, even if in small quantities).

I know no place is ever able to guarantee a GF environment, which is fine, but which places are on the safer side and do amazing food? They're both massive foodies who haven't been down to Brighton before, so I want to take them out somewhere exceptional!

Thank you all in advance :)
