Avoiding the traffic at the good restaurants in Brighton and Hove

Posted on by Say Hello to Geoff

Traffic

 

If there’s one thing I dislike above all else it’s congestion on the roads, and because of this I sometimes avoid the rush hour and head to what I consider to be the best place to eat in Sussex instead. While everyone else is getting more and more frustrated with the slow journey home, I will be sitting back in a comfy chair and enjoying a delicious serving of lamb casserole, pork medallions or perhaps a good old traditional serving of fish, chips and minted pea puree.

 

There is something very special about the fine dining Brighton has to offer these days, and for me it’s a no-brainer to head to a picturesque restaurant while the rush hour casts a shadow over the whole area. When I’ve finished my main course, I will select a dessert and enjoy a coffee before bidding farewell to the waiter and making my way home through streets which are blissfully quiet and free of traffic. It makes so much more sense to spend some quality time in a Sussex gastropub while everyone else makes their way home slowly through traffic which always seems to be going nowhere.

 

There are so many restaurants and pubs in West Sussex which offer high quality food, comfortable surroundings and prices which won’t cost you an arm and a leg. They include rural Sussex gastropubs in picturesque villages which wouldn’t look out of place on the lid of a chocolate box. When it comes to evening dining Brighton offers so many options for the hungry diner, from the centre of the city itself to the outskirts and beyond into the South Downs National Park. This part of the world really is a haven for lovers of good food.

 

So many gastropubs in Sussex, so little time to discover them all

 

There are an extraordinary number of bistros, restaurants and pubs in Sussex to choose from, and I have been exploring many of them in recent years. I like to keep a record of the ones I have visited, and to make brief notes about the plus and minus points of each of them. I keep my opinions recorded in one of those printed PVC binders that you see in stationery stores, and although I know it can be a little odd to do such things it gives me a great deal of pleasure.

 

I used to live in London many years ago, and I think I got my hatred of rush hour traffic from those days. And while Brighton and the surrounding area is never as congested as the streets of our nation’s capital it can still cause problems. I can’t do much about the traffic on my way to work in the mornings, but in the evenings I use the Sussex pubs and restaurants to help me avoid the situation altogether. In the summer I might head to one of my favourite Sussex golf clubs to play a few holes but in the winter I go straight to a local eatery.

 

When they feel the need for fine dining Sussex residents have a number of options to choose from, and in my case each of them provides a wonderful alternative to the traffic that is building up outside. Instead of bumper to bumper cars, lorries, vans and buses, I am faced with a menu full of temptations. It’s on occasions like this when I can thank my lucky stars that I live in a region of the United Kingdom which plays host to eateries offering cuisine from all over the world.

Branded ring binders can keep those academic memories in order

School Certificate

 

There are a million and one uses for branded polypropylene binders, so if you have ever been given any as corporate gifts it makes sense to hang on to them for as long as possible. As well as having practical value, printed PVC binders can look extremely attractive, especially given the fact that they are available in a mesmerising range of colours. No wonder they have been popular in the business world for so many years, and this is a trend that surely looks set to continue for a long time to come.

 

One of the most popular uses for paper over board bespoke binders is to keep school records in a safe and secure place. Our academic years are often referred to as the best years of our lives, and for most of us they seem to pass by in a flash. There are far too many people who can barely remember these times, and who made the sad but easy mistake of not hanging on to certificates, books, leaflets and awards. Now all they have left of such times is a handful of memories which are becoming ever more distant as each year passes by.

 

Even though many of us are given record of achievement folders to store such items in, it may not be the case that we keep them. Over the ensuing years, papers and documents start to go missing, and before we realise the enormity of the situation the problem becomes impossible to resolve. If only we had made use of the bespoke presentation binders that we had been given at various times, then we would have been able to access some extremely important papers whenever the need arose.

 

Printed ring binders come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be configured to hold various pockets and attachments. When it comes to storing all of your academic records, they are just about as perfect as it gets. I enjoyed every single moment of my school years, and I for one wish I had used polypropylene bespoke binders to keep everything safe and in order. I managed to pass quite a few exams over the years, but these days I’m not even sure where the certificates are kept. I have to admit that I regret not being more careful than I could have been.

 

Book cloth binders are the best corporate gift you might ever receive

 

Many men and woman are given various corporate gifts in their line of work, from branded Oyster Card wallets to bespoke golf balls and all points in between. In these increasingly competitive times, every commercial organisation needs to do all it can to get one step ahead of its rivals, and if leather look binders can help to make it happen then they should be at the top of the must-have list. Sales and marketing teams have been using such tactics for a long time, and it’s easy to see why.

 

Parents of young children often find they are so busy they simply don’t have time to be as organised as they can be, but anyone whose children are older, or perhaps completely grown-up, should be on hand to advise them to do what they can to keep academic records safe and secure. There will no doubt come a day later in life when mums and dads will want to look back on those happy times and read all about the development of their sons and daughters. A little time spent organising early on will reap rewards later for everyone.

 

No matter what type of school you went to, or where your seat of learning was located, you will have been given a start in life that hopefully will lead to greater successes later on. Now, whether you earn your living repairing trucks in Florida, selling computer components in the south of France or waiting tables at the best place to eat in Sussex, your academic years will have moulded you in some way or other. Whether you even realise it or not, those days in the dim and distant past will definitely have had an effect on the rest of your life.

 

Many sales and marketing teams keep a selection of legal binders and other corporate gifts in stock, and if you’re lucky enough to be a recipient of such items you may have different uses for them than others. For the giver, the important aspect of the process is the chance to keep the company’s profile visible as often as possible. Corporate gift-giving has been with us for a long time, and there are many experts in this field who will always advocate being as generous as you can be in order to engender and maintain good relations with clients.
