Brighton was featured on the gadget show last week -they were testing cameras. What a dump -seemed to be full of people begging on the street and graffiti filled side streets. Don't think I'd be doing much smiling if I had to visit there.
Retro, I've lived in Brighton for 30 years and your description of it is very accurate, esepcially around east Brighton near the uber chav marina building site.
This was very similar but down back alleys -they were testing cameras taking 'typical' pics of Brighton - the winning one was a young woman sat in the street begging -nice lol!
What a weird statistic. Do people there actually count their smiles? Like ooh, I'm up to 20 today, I'd better watch the box set of Breaking Bad and see if I can manage another couple to keep my average up?
