It was nice to be able to see London Bridge station and go “Oh, it’s London Bridge” instead of travelling through there at rush hour and be “Ugh, it’s London Bridge”.
In the 60's lots of Londoners went to Brighton especially to fight, that was the time of the Mods and Rockers, Clacton and Southend were visited regularly as well
Better in the sunshine but like lots of places in Britain, if you like walking and enjoy exploring, a day in Brighton can be a really chilled and enjoyable experience , which is clearly what you had , I really enjoyed your video.
Ravaya are small roundish aubergines that are used to make the dish called 'aubergine ravaya'. You slice the aubergine in quarters, reaching the tip. Then you stuff the aubergines with peanuts, caramelised onion- optional, and Indian spices. Then you steam the veg in a lided pot till done, enjoy
I travel to London once a year from Canada. This year I decided to take a day trip down to Brighton while I was over there. Unfortunately I found myself very underwhelmed. I could see the charm, but I felt like it's definitely more of a summer destination rather than when I went in March. The seafront was dead, everything seemed closed down. I guess it would be a nice place to escape to for the day if you're tired of the London vibe, but I just felt like there wasn't much to do there. Good fish and chips, though!
Brighton is pretty much all about art/music/partying/food and this is doubley true in the winter months.otherwose yeah not too much to do but if ur into that shit it's a blast.
Southend used to be the seaside day trip location of choice for Londoners. After watching this vlog I know why Brighton has become the destination of choice! It's like the hipstery parts of London by the sea. Southend is very dated and run down now in comparison, which is a shame as in its heydey it was fantastic.
That was the day I was on way to airport and scared of the train delays and land slide but by about 5 it was at least moving. Shame you didn’t pick another day as it got sunny by the end of the week.
I was in Brighton a while back for a few days, opposite end of the country to me. Done all the tourist stuff and enjoyed the break. Even done the I360. It was nice and chill.
I work in Brighton but I live in the North, so only down once a month. I will say that if you've never been before, take lots of money as nothing is cheap down there. And there's nothing really to do when it rains!
Im not a vegan, but other than that it looked like a great time. I love the shot of you and Heather sitting down by the beach. That would be a nice print.
I'm a lifelong veggie and raised by my mum who was vegetarian since the 70s. All our food was stuff like veggie sausages and quiche. It's so wild to me that people are now out here eating plant fish and vodka infused sushi tomatoes 😂
The people that own the pier are trying to charge an entrance fee on top of the extortionate prices for the rides! Best tip is to avoid the pier in season...
How can you visit Brighton and not visit the Toy Museum under Brighton train station?????? It's literally a 1 minute walk. It's a wonderland of toys, trains, models etc
Sooooooo, why do they call it fish and chips when it's literally NOT fish? Its seasoned pineapple, if vegans don't want to eat real meat, that's fine, but why try and copy the real thing. Never made sense to me.
I can give you a few reasons at least. Naming veggie products with recognisable names (and shaping them accordingly) helps customers understand how to use them. For example vegan burger patties are an easy replacement for meaty versions, and the shape needs to be similar enough to fit into the buns. Often these products are also bought by people who aren't vegans or vegetarians themselves, for example parents of a vegan (like my parents when my sister's joining them for a meal), or someone having a barbeque and inviting some veggie guests, so the products have to be easy to find and use. Many vegans and vegetarians haven't been brought up as one, so they may have cravings for things like fish and chips, or family traditions like eating turkey at christmas. The veggie alternatives can often hit the same spot without going against the persons core beliefs. Many vegans have stopped eating meat for reasons other than the taste or looks after all. I'm sure there's other reasons too, but here's some to get you started. I'm not a vegan btw, just in case that makes any difference. I've just reduced my meat consumption gradually over the years and found that I actually prefer the flavour and especially structure of many veggie things over the meaty ones I used to eat. Now if I have cheat meals like nuggets or burgers they're veggie versions, but I can still cook chicken too when I specifically want to.
What's wrong with having an option for vegans? There's nothing wrong with having a food that's like fish, without having to kill any fish for it, for the people that want it. No one is forcing you to eat it. It's such an insignificant thing to be mad about
