Is it to do with the herbal infusions, brownies with a special kick, or the stuff they put in their pipes to smoke, that fuels this?

Think I've found the reason, (from the Link)

Appears to be the result of having a Habit!

Brighton was featured on the gadget show last week -they were testing cameras. What a dump -seemed to be full of people begging on the street and graffiti filled side streets. Don't think I'd be doing much smiling if I had to visit there.

Retro, I've lived in Brighton for 30 years and your description of it is very accurate, esepcially around east Brighton near the uber chav marina building site.

Retro, surely they were not referring to the urban artwork in Kensington Street??

This was very similar but down back alleys -they were testing cameras taking 'typical' pics of Brighton - the winning one was a young woman sat in the street begging -nice lol!

Wot! You meant that it doesn't resemble this at all? https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=oh+i+do+like+to+be+beside+the+seaside&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-003

The first one.

8 in 10 say they smile around 22 times a day.

What a weird statistic. Do people there actually count their smiles? Like ooh, I'm up to 20 today, I'd better watch the box set of Breaking Bad and see if I can manage another couple to keep my average up?

[joggerjayne]

Maybe there's something to be said for the "one long smile" rather than the frequent little ones.

Although smiling all the time does make you look slightly insane, so that's a bit of a minus point.

//Maybe there's something to be said for the "one long smile" rather than the frequent little ones. //

wouldn't that represent the grimace of resignation?

i'm smiling - ski hols bought 'n paid for :-)

[joggerjayne]

Oooh, fabbers, mush.

Where are you going?

[Svejk]

[Svejk]

Sorry, looks like me (pretending) being grumpy killed your thread. ;o)

Threads get to a point where killing them off is the kindest thing.

Well, I'm your man, jj. ;)

I'd love to visit Brighton and have jj to show me around
