Hi everyone,

my girlfriend and I visited Brighton during our England trip in June, and we stumbled across an amazing second-hand/vintage shop somewhere around Kensington Gardens. She absolutely fell in love with a ring there, and I’d really like to surprise her by buying it as an engagement ring.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of the shop.

What I do remember is:

• It sold a mix of vintage furniture, clothing, jewellery and all kinds of interesting second-hand items.
• The entrance wasn’t directly on Kensington Gardens but in a small side street nearby.
• You entered through an open gate/courtyard and then went down a ramp into the shop.
• Along that ramp there were glass display cases with jewellery, including the ring she loved.

We’re from Germany, so if I can figure out which shop it was, I’d love to try calling them to see if the ring is still there and whether they’d be willing to sell and ship it.

Does this description ring a bell for anyone? I’d be incredibly grateful for any ideas!

Thank you so much!

Since Roasthost doesn't seem to be open, does anyone know of a good place that delivers sunday roasts.

Hey im a pretty good singer but Ive got no one to sing with and I’d love to!!! If anyone needs a singer I’d love to meet them

Hi all. First time here. The nursery behind our house has hired contractors who are demolishing some structures in their garden. The builders have started again at 8am today after starting yesterday at 7.
are they legally allowed to do this? The noise is significant and we have been woken up and now need to close windows to block what we can out.
Brighton councils (where we live) website doesn’t have too much info around this.

Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone, I live in Lancing to the West of Brighton. Sadly in the last election reform won, they've filled the main streets with England flags on EVERY lamppost. They say its for the football but it is pretty obvious its not.

They are really high up and I don't know what to do but im extremely ashamed of my village. I can't imagine how it feels to be an immigrant or a person of colour here.

Any ideas of how to fight this?

Thankyou :)

Coming back from London last night I picked up a cab home from the station. It was late, so I expected a late (midnight-6am) surcharge.

Looking what was on the meter before the guy had even pulled away though, the driver had slapped the 4-8 passenger surcharge on (I was alone), which is a few quid more than the single passenger.

I should have been more aware, but it was late & I was sleepy so didn’t argue at the time.

Question: as I don’t take cabs often, how common is this scam in town these days?

We’re looking to spend a couple weeks in Brighton. We would rather not have a rental car as we like to be able to walk around a city. However, my husband wants to play golf at several different courses (he would take Uber) and I’m a runner that would love to get into the countryside. What would be an idea neighborhood to base ourselves (in an Airbnb) with easy access?

Also, my husband would like to get hooked up with a social golf society that plays a variety of courses if anyone can recommend one. And I would like to take part in a park run you recommend. (We don’t have them in the U.S. so it will be a new experience for me.)

Thanks!!

Hi, I need to back up my 2TB disk to the cloud. Is there an open office I can use to upload those files without disrupting anyone else’s internet connection? I can pay daily fee if it solves my problem.

my home internet is slow (20Mbps upload)

Thanks

I know Brighton sucks during silly season, especially on weekends but I’ve noticed O2 has become very bad for signal, which gets me in trouble with my wife using WhatsApp saying I’ll be home late. Even streaming bbc radio has to buffer. Is it me? O2? Or just Brighton?
Any advice or others in the same situation?

Hey, my twin and I will be meeting a few friends to celebrate our 40th in Brighton in August. Can anyone suggest fun afternoon activities? Likely to be heading back early evening. Looking for things like bottomless brunches, champagne afternoon teas, and just fun games and activities (escape room type things but not necessarily that). We're a group of girls, and none of us are massive drinkers. We'll all be getting the train in. Thank you!

Hello people of Brighton

Does anyone know where I can get a good Calzone pizza delivered ?

All suggestions welcomed

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m currently travelling through Brighton and staying near the city centre. I’d love to check out a car boot sale tomorrow, and I’m happy to travel a little if it’s worth it.
Any recommendations? Bonus points if it’s good for vintage clothes, antiques, or unique finds. Thanks!

Looking for recommendations some nice, flat, non tidal paddleboarding spots. The sea is too much hassle sometimes with the tide and the waves!
