Embarassed much.

I haven't even got a TMF sticker, I've actually only got a Minifinity sticker on my window as I am only a recent immigrant. I'll be the one with all the lights and making lots of noise, you'll know what I mean when you see it.... :)

Oh and in response to whoever was asking about cash at Brighton, two things to mention from someone who's done it a few times:

#1 Most traders take cash only, I can't ever remember paying for anything by cash
at Maderia Drive. Maybe some of the bigger traders might do but I wouldn't count on it. If
you want to buy something, GET CASH BEFORE BRIGHTON.

#2 This is once again in my memory/experience but Brighton seafront appears to be completely devoid of cash points. The only one I can remember is as the western end of the Drive outside Buger King but it's always out of cash and when it does work it charges a bloody fortune for access to your own money. Rubbish. The next nearest one is in the city centre which is a fair old walk away. I'd be prepared and stop somewhere on the way down to stock up on readies.

Can you buy the run t-shirts from Brighton? I really want one but cant get to palace to do the run.


As far as cash points go, the little green blobs are the cashpoints close by I know of. Im sure there are more in the Marina Village by the last time I went there was over a year ago so don't know where they are.


Lastly, please be kind to the number 25 buses, I will be on one on my way to see you all. Try not to clog up the roads through Brighton too much :thumbsup:


Oh, the map didn't work. You'll just have to work it out for yourself or be really nice to me :) ....or not, map now working.

Not my forum name, but Luna does have a reputation and she will be sporting her Luna Graphics. She also has several purple ribbons on her aerials....

There's a car park (actually there are loooooads of car parks near the sea front) about 5mins walk from the pier, which is at the west end of madeira drive if you didn't know. They're the Churchhill Square car parks, prices are reasonable from what I remember and like I said only 5mins walk.

Apart from that you could try and get a space on the a259 above madeira drive but that's usually packed by other cars. There are also some back roads within 5 mins walk that you can park on for free on Sundays but it's way too hard for me to explain where they are :thumbsup: sorry :) I'd say go for the car park if the marina are being twots!
