    Two nights - arrive Thursday, leave Saturday, at the conference all day Friday.

    My memories of the breakfast when I stayed there a couple of years ago are proving to be a powerful incentive...
    mmmmm - Thursday night, sea view from your room.

    Friday morning, THAT breakfast to set you up for the conference.

    Friday night, socialising with conference types followed by sea view from your room.

    Saturday morning, THAT breakfast AGAIN.

      Can I come, but skip the conference?
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        or.....

        Thursday night, in your box room with only 1 TV channel working, no decent drinks in the bar and a view of the sewage works from your window.

        Friday morning, a single lump of what is supposed to be scrambled eggs sitting in a puddle of water with some soggy bread.

        Friday night - ditto Thursday night

        Saturday morning - Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!! Get me out of here!!!!

          ...and The Grand it is

          The breakfast at Premier Inn isn't at all bad for the price, actually, but I do like the Grand's breakfast - the buffet is laid out on a kind of circular island in the middle of the room, with a chef in a tall white hat in the centre, frying stuff

          And a nice view of the sea as well

            Drinks aren't a problem - Attila the Stockbroker clued me up to the best real ale pub in Brighton, up near the station.

            It looks like the view would be of the multi-storey car park over the shopping centre. But PI's breakfast sausages are actually rather good

              Pity it's the wrong time of year for the Xmas "Critical Mass"....

                They've obviously moved on a bit - it's about 4 years since I last stayed in one.

                  Bumpity bump... 50 mins & no post...

                  I hope that copying operation finishes by 16:50 or I'll be really unhappy.

                    It's saying 10 mins, so that's at least 30 then...
