Americans first impressions of Brighton (Treasure Hunt!)

[@stevebton]

I think the second clue on the Treasure Hunt was probably the huge mural of dead pop stars on the side of th Prince Albert pub. You actually have it on your video at 4:56.

[@flotiggy]

Spot on mate. I think they were so intrigued by their new surroundings, that they forgot to look up.

[@Brytonrock]

Being a Brightonian, born and bred, there's a few extra things I can tell you. We do have a sandy portion of the beach but you have to wait untill low tide to get to it. The North Laine is the name given to the fields to the north of the old fishing village. On you way through Pavilion Gardens, the building to your left is the Brighton Dome and Corn Exchange. This used to be the Prince Regent's stables and riding school. It now houses the Brighton Museum, a concert auditorium and an exhibition space. The Dome is also the concert auditorium where ABBA won the Eurovision song contest in 1974 with their song Waterloo. If you're on the Palace Pier, not Brighton Pier, locals have never called it Brighton Pier, in the late afternoon in the winter, you can see mumerations of Starlings. There are thousands of birds coming to roost under the pier. The sight is incredible as is the sound. Just a few of the things that you can see around my home city.

[@Brytonrock]

And there's nothing like the sound a shingle beach makes during rough weather.

[@Crackracket]

You didnt find the person next to Prince because you went past the pub on the corner with the huge mural of dead celebrites

[@Deepfake820]

Prince Albert

[@jonobrien1339]

I've watched a documentary on the royal pavilion you were looking at, It was built as a holiday home for the king, During the first world war it was used as a hospital for injured troops from India ( part of the British empire back then)

[@anitawhite6104]

I love the way you call Brighton Beach 'rocks' we call them pebbles here in the UK.

[@tw6rn]

I-I call them rocks. I thought that pebbles were small rocks. The ones in Brighton are MASSIVE

[@AyeeeItsCam]

Actually there are many many beaches along the West Coast that are made of pebbles/rocks.

If you are looking for things to do in East Sussex, you MUST get to Rye. Its thirty miles east of Brighton and dead easy to get to. If you want to know more, give me a shout.

[@lauralenau590]

I recognized Oliver's Brighton immediately at 5:05, then got really excited when you zoomed in on the sign, then YOU PASSED IT! 😱 Heartbreaking, but I get that not everyone is a HP fan. I like that they have walking streets, as well, and that everything is a bit quirky. It's like an English New Orleans.

We did actually go in just didn’t film it :p

'Trafalgar' is a significant part of British History Trafalgar is a coastal area of Spain near where the British Navy won a battle against the French and Spanish Navys in 1805

[@Sarah-nd2gy]

My favourite game on the pier is the dolphin race. Probably closed during Autumn (weekdays certainly) but its quite fun. Brighton in summer is amazing. It is also unfortunately very crowded because the good weather attracts thousands of people, but I do recommend a visit if you are back here one summer

[@JohnRS100]

I have to say that I had a not too quiet chuckle when I checked out Jodi’s channel and one of the first things she filmed was the huge mural showing various pop stars. How did you miss it?

[@sammygirl5835]

So glad you loved Brighton, I spent a lot of my childhood there. Going to the piers (back when there were two) was always a highlight. I don’t know if you can show them on your channel but there are many pictures of the Pavilion interior on Google. Have you been to Portsmouth? A visit to the Historic Dock Yard is well worth the money; you can see HMS Victory, Nelson’s Flag Ship at the battle of Trafalgar and the oldest commissioned war ship in the world as well as other historic navy ships and the Mary Rose. You can also travel by hovercraft to the Isle of Wight - come on when else are you going to get to travel by hovercraft?

[@fishbrainCTRL]

So you almost found the Banksy piece. Look at 4:56, that pub is the Prince Albert. It has a mural of famous dead artists (the apps prince clue), and also the original Banksy of two policemen kissing.

[@fishbrainCTRL]

Actually, it's not the original Banksy, it's a replica. The original was painted on that pub, however the original was sold to a US buyer."

[@stephanieseahorse7931]

One day a year, Brighton pavilion is free to visit. You'll have to find out on their website for when that day is. So if you come back make sure you don't miss this day.

I did the Bath treasure trail with a friend and despite living in the city I learnt a lot and saw lots of great details I’d missed previously. It was only £6 so maybe the same company. I think we only failed on one clue out of about 20. Good way to see a city!! Loved watching your reaction to a British pebble beach.

[@raymoreton3184]

Sometimes they do make those beaches or extend what's already there to protect the buildings and road and infrastructure or in the bad weather it will cost a lot to repair.

[@stylemethrift997]

You should definitely have gone into the pavilion and museum. It's gorgeous

[@toobydude41]

[@sumeett8826]

The busses in the museum looked almost same as the public transport busses in Mumbai,probably because the company was started by the British

[@ClareB78]

You can get cheaper tickets for the Pavilion if you book online, it’s well worth a visit. Most of the items inside it are actually owned by the Queen which is why you can’t take photos or film inside unfortunately.

[@circle6151]

When I visited you could take photos as long as you didn't use flash.

Brighton is one of my favorite places! Been there several times! ❤❤❤ I also took a couple of rocks home with me as a momento ❤ Everytime I stood next to those slot machine money always dropped out next to me every time even when I didn't put anything in them too! So funny! 😆

It's not the endlessly cheerful voyage of discovery that jars a little bit, it's the absolutely 100% full throttle competitive enthusiasm about every little bloody thing. That's what we British simply do not understand about Americans - and find faintly suspicious, frankly. (Sorry.) Life is dull, hard and repetitive - and full of rain. But it is your duty to live it as accurately as possible without ever permitting it to annoy you. That (and a genuinely hot cup of tea) is what it really means to be British.
