Before I retired from my position as a company liquidator, my job took me during 40 years to almost every town in the British Isles, many times over.

I decided Brighton was one of the happiest and had the most charm and advantages and, eventually, I moved here to make it my home.

The people are most friendly, there is much entertainment, many clubs, excellent restaurants and hotels and delightful and unusual shops in places such as The Lanes and the North Laine, where will you find anything.

Brighton, the happy town. If you do not know of our treasures, come and visit us. Our world-famous festival is on during May - it's wonderful.

See you there.
