Living a ten minute walk up the road we feel obliged to attend, but oh dear it’s just a glorified funfair now.

No parachutists, no donkey derby etc.



It’s a good fundraiser for the Martlets but restore it to its former glory and have the funfair on a separate day.

Bought some nice cake, though. And got drenched by the rain that no-one on the beach even saw!

No donkeys! I bet they don't have a balloon race either.

Thought it might be on today but couldn't see it listed anywhere online. So didn't attend this year.

I'm probably being facetious.

Used to love going to this when I was younger, I had a feeling that it would be a shadow of its former self now.

That was the bizarre thing yesterday, I was watching it on the radar and it showed it being right over Brighton but I was at my friend's place at Seven Dials and it remained dry.
