As well as local stories, they run some of the bigger national stories, sometimes putting a local twist on them. There is also a good sports section, with updates on various local teams.

Latest Homes is a free publication which is part lifestyle magazine, part entertainments guide, and…read morepart property listings. Half the magazine is dedicated to property - with both rental and sales. Of course, most of the rental places will almost certainly have gone by the time you ring up the agent, but at least it's a good way to get a flavour of what's available. The other half is lifestyle and entertainments, with a useful TV guide in the centre, and articles on various aspects of Brighton life, including reviews and regular columnists. It's normally available at Brighton Station and outside various newsagents and estate agents - it's hardly groundbreaking journalism, but it's a good place to get a feel for the city if you're new here, or check listings if you're not.

Today's gripping real life story included graphic pictures of raw electrocuted flesh. A perfect accompaniment to my leftover spaghetti bolognese. The shop itself is tiny, one of those box-room newsagents crammed to breaking point of daily essentials. The little man who runs it is very friendly, until you try to pay on your card when there isn't enough on it. He also told me I didn't need to buy butter one evening on the way back from the gym because I was fat enough. I was not amused. I did have my massive bulky parker on though, and he was very apologetic when he saw the red in my eyes. Curiously, he's been overly friendly ever since!
