I love brighton, I went last year with my gay sister in law, we had a fab week, I can't wait to go this year again, we had a good pub quiz, a wonder around the lanes and axe throwing randomly, met some lovely folk and the beach was scorching, plus its my birthday this year again lol hopefully we are going again 🤞

[@thechatterguys]

Hi Shaun. Thanks for your message. We definitely want to visit Brighton again in the warm weather. We had a great time when we were there but we guess it is even better in the sunshine! 🌞🌞🌞

[@davidhodgson4695]

Very enjoyable and looks like a wonderful city. Thank you Col and Tim for showing us around.

[@thechatterguys]

Thanks David 😄

"One big one" "shooting off the end of that" there were more but I couldn't keep up. ❤❤

We can't help ourselves. Sometimes we don't even realise we're doing it 😉

[@lunevalleyparanormal]

Happy Christmas & All the best for the New Year Colin & Tim I’ve been busy moving house to the Isle of Man so trying to catch up with everyone 🌈❤️🌈

[@thechatterguys]

Hello LVP. We hope everything went smoothly with the house 🏠 move. We hope you had a great Christmas 🎄 and best wishes for the New Year 🎊

[@tracyd3022]

Great video guys 👏 The weather wasn’t the best but I actually like seeing the contrast in places in different seasons. There really is so much to see and do in Brighton by the looks of it and enjoyed looking around with you both. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@thechatterguys]

Cheers Tracy. There is certainly plenty going on in Brighton. Next time we'll visit in the better weather ❤️🩷🌞

[@BRIAN-mr5ue]

Thanks QB 😂

[@Neurodiversekitty]

@thechatterguys I wasn't meaning you Colin said it in the vlog just realised how my comment sounded 😅

[@thechatterguys]

Ha ha! We understood what you meant, QB, don't worry! Best wishes for the New Year xx 💗💐

Here from RKG ❤️👍🏽

[@thechatterguys]

Hello Artorias! Thank you for saying Hello 🤗

[@jhudd0102]

23:00 i wonder what it must be like living in those flats above overlooking that square ?

[@thechatterguys]

We imagine that it would be interesting 🤔!

[@ukbob]

I love Brighton, so diverse and loads to do. You missed the main lanes which is full of independent shops cafes ect. We were Brighton Saturday of storm burt :)

[@thechatterguys]

Thank you UKBob. We struggled a bit with The Lanes. We didn't find the signposting to be very clear. We shall do better next time we visit Brighton ❤️😄👍

[@PaulFromBrighton]

Ah great video guys, you missed the proper Lanes but don’t worry, I’ve been living here 20 years and still get lost in them 😂 you’re right about the bohemian feel. When I first moved down I saw a man in budgie smugglers and a divers helmet and thought this is the place for me! 😂

[@thechatterguys]

Thank you Paul! That makes us feel much better. We found the signs in The Lanes confusing and Google wasn't much help 😄👍

[@_hedwyn]

RKG talked about how much they love you guys in the newest podcast so I came to peep and ended up watching a good few videos! Have you guys ever been to The Bookish Type, an LGBTQ+ book shop in Leeds? It's a great little shop!

[@thechatterguys]

Wow! Thank you so much for getting us know, Hedwyn. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Is The Bookish You're the one that's in the first floor of the Merian Centre? 🥰

[@_hedwyn]

@@thechatterguys They used to be! But moved recently to a bigger shop on Great George Street :)

[@thechatterguys]

Thanks Hedwyn. We shall include it in our next Leeds LGBT+ update. We've been watching RKG but we can't find where they mentioned us. Was it in the Christmas Day video? 🤔 xx

[@_hedwyn]

@@thechatterguys Afraid it isn't on their KZbin channel! They have a podcast called Shield Up for their patreon supporters. The newest episode is them talking about all their favourite things from 2024 and they mention discovering your channel and watching it together :)

[@thechatterguys]

Thanks for letting us know, Hedwyn. We could have spent hours searching in the wrong place xxx ❤️💗💖

[@lordmartin2933]

Personally - I Love A Stormy Sea-Coastline, So Atmospheric, A Very Impressive Pier Of Yesteryear. Great Video As Always. Hope You Had A Lovely Christmas Day Once Colin Had Finished Work. Slight Vibes Of Whitby The Lanes More Than The Shambles In York XXXXXX

[@thechatterguys]

Thanks LM. We've been told that we missed the best but of The Lanes. We shall check them out properly next time. Best wishes for the New Year xx 💗🎉

[@elainewatson4100]

I went 2 Brighton 5 year ago same time as yous. . It wer 20 odd degrees. I was in complex next door 2 nudist beach. Only saw 1 elderly man in his prime displaying his inhibitions! Good on him

[@thechatterguys]

Hi Elaine! We think Brighton must be amazing in the good weather. We might even check out the nudist beach ⛱️ next time we visit 🍑 xxx

[@elainewatson4100]

Yes doo. Brighton is a well good place 2 holiday. Be prepared 4 beach though.its very stoney.only takes 1 little shard 2 get into an intimate place 2 cause a catastrophe,! Haha

[@thechatterguys]

We're wincing at the thought of it 😬

[@Glimmertwin32]

Brighton is the best place to live in the UK. I have been here 24 years and still love it. Really creative city with loads going on. From what I know about Blackpool….there is an interesting fact…Blackpool has the high crime rate in the UK but also the lowest immigration….go figure😂😂😂

[@thechatterguys]

Thank you Glimmer Twin. That is surprising because we thought London has the highest crime rate. We guess it must be how they calculate the figures and what crimes they include. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Brighton and we can't wait to come again in the better weather ❤️

[@JohnAleman1]

Interesting walk about guys i prefer Blackpool prices though 😁🍻

[@thechatterguys]

Cheers John! Blackpool prices are certainly much lower! 😆

[@JustinMcCarthy-cy1mv]

Vertigo is scary but vertigo with choppy sea views underfoot is spine-chilling. And no seagulls. 😮😢🐦🐦🐦

[@thechatterguys]

It does make you feel like you're about to fall over, Justin! ❤️

[@JustinMcCarthy-cy1mv]

@@thechatterguys two of my illogical fears in one - falling from a height and... the sea... so falling in to the sea is unthinkable.

Hello Crazy Carl xx ❤️

[@Bret121]

Come to Birminghan

[@thechatterguys]

Hi Brett. We came to Birmingham earlier this year and we liked it so much we're going to come again in 2025 😀

[@Gh_Manchester]

I got dumped at the pavilion lol.

[@thechatterguys]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that 💔 xx

[@tomfitz-tm6tz]

It's ok...a lot of homeless and drink issues...some of the estates outside centre are rough.

[@thechatterguys]

Hi Tom. Unfortunately that could apply to many cities in the UK.

[@AnimalMagnetism1965]

Sadly, since you filmed, the Brighton i360 (Tower Eye😂) has gone bankrupt & all the staff made redundant, just before Christmas 😢. It's a big scandal locally as millions were poured into it but a lot of people said it wouldn't draw enough customers & they were right. Brighton on a hot summers day is a totally different vibe, you are not seeing it at It's best.

[@thechatterguys]

Hi Animal Magnetism. We heard about the i360 closing but we weren't sure if it was temporary or not. Such a shame for the workers there. We were in no doubt that we weren't seeing Brighton at its best 💨💨💨 and we're coming back in the Summer ⛱️ next time 🌞

[@AnimalMagnetism1965]

The administrators are trying to find a buyer for the i360 but, given its £51 million in debt,I doubt they'll find someone to take it on.

[@thechatterguys]

Maybe the local authority will stump up the cash. We understand that Blackpool Council fund many of the big attractions there🫰

[@JamesPalmer-o8r]

Hey guys, we love your videos, however if I had one request it would be not to breathe directly into the mic.

[@thechatterguys]

I've learned my lesson now. Didn't realise my breathing was that bad. I have Alpha A1. I'm going to be clipping my mic on from now on. 👍 Glad you love our vids and thank you x

[@robbflynn4325]

Blackpool way better.

[@thechatterguys]

Cheers Rob! Blackpool is certainly less expensive 🫰 😁
