We're just coming to the end of Holiday season, and this year- the recession year- has seen a changing trend in holiday destination choices.
More and more of you are opting for trips within the Uk rather than living it up abroad with a glass of chilled prosecco, a plate of paella, or a Manhattan cocktail.
There are families taking to the roads of our lovely British motorways in caravans and camping equipment, couples checking into Bed and Breakfasts in Dorset, and students crabbing in Cornwall.
Yes, our taste for the British seaside is alive and kicking, and perhaps the most notorious, iconic and fast up and coming landmark of the lot, is our very own Brighton.
Brighton was not always a booming city.
In fact it was only made an official city very recently (before that it enjoyed the satus of a town).
Now it has become more cosmopolitan and plush than ever before.
It hosts such iconic sights as the Royal Pavilion- a former royal palace built as a home for the Prince Regent during the early 1800s and notable for its Oriental interior design.
There's also the Brighton Pier to entertain holiday makers.
It opened in 1899 and features a funfair, restaurants and arcade halls.
Though the townsfolk might lament the commercialization of the pier- and the rides are also jolly expensive- Brighton still wouldn't be Brighton without it.
It's really the seafront that makes Brighton so attractive for the average visitor.
You come to hear the waves lapping against the shoals and to hear the sound of squarking seagulls- and to have them come and pester you for a bite of your cod and chips.
there are many bars, restaurants and nightclubs along the seafront which makes it a truly exciting and fashionable place to be.
Perhaps you should consider Brighton next time you find yourself gawking at the Easy Jet prices.
