[Brighton] Multicultural Hove

Voroshilov said:

On one of my infrequent visits back to Hove this morning I popped into Waitrose for some craft beer and a bag of organic rye flour. As i had yet to breakfast i stopped at the cafe for a decaff and muesli whereupon i was delighted to hear a mutlitude of languages. A large table of arabic speakers were just behind me and across from them a table of jolly spaniards chattered away excitedly. Behind me in the queue had been a couple of workmen speaking what sounded like Latvian. Several women were wearing colourful headscarves and a couple near the window were wearing traditional Hangletonian trackie bottoms and hoodies. I thought to myself how lucky we are to have such a harmonious melting pot of peoples and cultures enriching our country.

Maybe, or they could be opportunists going in to pro actively apply for a job as a cleaner or barista, a dream career currently denied to them by the Latvians, but, post Brexit, a clear path to a better life on minimum wage.

And good luck to them I say. With British applications for such posts bound to be heavily over subscribed it's good to see a bit of initiative.

I lived in a 12 person house share in Hove, changed housemates numerous times.

Over the time we had

7 Spanish
2 Romanians
2 Moroccans
1 Israel
2 Hungarians
1 Brazilian
2 English

Definitely multicultural!

like the new Brazilian food store in Hove.
The Portuguese black pudding is excellent and they sell chicken hearts, lovely stuff.
Going to try their steak over the festive period.

Was it where Barber put up potential new signings before their interview in Lancing?
