Brighton Rocks... Nearly...

Me and the Missus went to Brighton for the weekend leaving the Boy in charge at home so he and some friends could neck beer, watch movies and play poker.

Brighton is something of a regular haunt for me and the girl and we've had a few weekends away there and it's even somewhere we're looking at relocating when we eventually move out of London (St Albans and Guildford are also on the list).

I saw two things I'd never seen before this weekend, though. The first was a canine fashion shop called Doggy Fashion. This instantly brought a schoolboy smirk from me. The second, however, was a gay porn and sex toys shop called Brighton Prowler.

I thought this was a bit odd as sex is usually marketed as a passionate or fun thing these days and naming a shop Prowler is hardly a fun or naughty name. In fact it's quite disturbing and is really only one step away from potential rape and a bit like calling a dating agency Rohypnal.

Needless to say, I didn't go into either place...
