    These chaps at Ocean Sports Board Riders have been assisting all those individuals who like balancing upon waterlogged planks since 1989. Apparently they are the biggest surf shop in the UK - more than likely, as there are hardly thousands of 'em filling the high streets. What's more, there is a 'genuine' American style diner adjacent to their establishment. Any passing American will doubtless testify whether it is more or less genuine than Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent in Mary Poppins. Either way, it always looks reassuringly busy!

    Equipment: Polished and elongated lumps of wood and associated flotsam and jetsam.

     A great place for special easter eggs. At Christmas Audreys have chocolate-covered cherries in brandy. Delicious. I think they supply Fortnums and Masons....

     Hello, Nick! Thanks for your humour, always!

     Your tips are always very educational for us non-Brits, and today I learned another new word: groyne. (Sorry, I was one of those you caught sniggering. May I go back to my desk now?)

     Morning Major! I'm still very confused about the Brighton and Hove amalgamation... I can never tell when I have left one and am in the other.... the join is imperceptible to the human eye.. wish they would paint a big red line somewhere!
