Brighton's Flags

As you would expect for a spring day on Brighton's beach, the wind was blowing, the waves were crashing on the beach, you swam at you peril, but at least you could get a deckchair - these particular chairs are the same design as used on the great Ocean liners of the Pacific and Orient steam line (now P&O) that sailed across the seas. If you sit on one on the pier then they are free; not too sure if the ones on the beach are as you always had to pay; you would just get comfy when along came a little man with his ticket machine wanting you to pay a penny or so for the pleasure of taking in the bracing sea air. Oh so very English. More tea dear!!
