Like many a Londoner, I always enjoy a day out in Brighton. Yesterday’s was for a family lunch at Terre à Terre, a walk around the Laines and finally a visit to the pier without which no day trip is complete. The fact that I decided to forego the ride on the rollercoaster and take some pictures instead had nothing to do with the cost, but at £5 for a 90 second ride I reckon it was more expensive per minute than flying first class to New York….and a lot less comfortable.
