A visitor from the USA this summer pointed out to me what he considered one of the most bizarre sights he had ever seen in Brighton. Dozens of young people were sitting on the pavements in Western Road where they were claiming to be unemployed. They were throwing their beer cans and cigarette ends over the pavements, while elderly men with dustpans and shovels endeavoured to tidy them up.
