Look, Mark, don’t go to Blackpool as you usually do. Come to Brighton for your holidays this year. It’s sunnier than Blackpool and over the past few years the temperatures have been better here than in the North, where Blackpool is. Brighton’s pier has many more attractions than Blackpool’s and the town’s fish and chip shops are as good as Blackpool’s. Blackpool’s beach may be sandier but Brighton’s also has a lot more amusement arcades. There is also a very fast and regular train service from London to Brighton. The direct train takes only about 1 hour. That’s a lot less than the 4 hours it takes to get to Blackpool. You must come to Brighton this summer!
