Going to England

[brionon]

For a few days, will be in Brighton Worthing and L/A.
What would you do or buy to take back to Belgium,where I live. Friendly suggestions,please.

[bluevern]

A good old bit of British seaside rock........always goes down a treat.....but saying that cos its a seaside town you dont really have a billion choices other than sweets or kiss me quick hats!!

Something made out of shells could be nice!
And 'The Lanes' in Brighton are a good bet to pick up little nik naks

[brionon]

Thanks for that.

[Andyvon]

Post cards as well.

How about a selection of English bottled beers? Coals to Newcastle, I know, but you can do a fun tasting with your friends. I assume that you will be going by car.

If they are in the shops when you are there, why not get some Christmas crackers?

Where in Belgium do you live? I'm in Braine l'Alleud.

[brionon]

I'm in Gent. In the Vlaamse speakers area. Are you in Wallonie ?

[SteveD]

Yes. Braine l'Alleud is next to Waterloo:

Am I being dim? What does "L/A" mean in your original question.

[brionon]

Oh, thank you for asking
L/A = Littlehampton. We drop the 'H' for the effect.

Brighton Museum and Gallery (near the Dome and Royal Pavilion) well worth a visit, particularly if you're interested in style/design/fashion (not just clothes!)

Brighton also has one of biggest 'alternative' shopping scenes outside London (North Laine). Lots and lots of quirky stuff.

Parking in Brighton is a pain, though. And quite expensive.

My parents live in Littlehampton....nice beach. Go to 'Georges' fish bar near the harbour.....lovely and the ice cream shop next door......even lovelier!!!!!

[bluevern]

OOOOh I almost forgot, if your there on Sat 28th they have a great firework display on the beach

[brionon]

Wow, thank you all,so much.
