Surges aren’t exactly a new phenomenon and I think some of the older posters are forgetting’83 when Jimmy Case caused 2 incredible surges. I was young and it was joyous. Beer luzzing on the other hand is just weird.
Sounds really easy. Unfortunately not living in Brighton there was also the delight of a bus replacement service between Lewes and Eastbourne which just topped off the evening.
We left sharpish last year and made it back on the bus no problem. Just make sure your group are all ready to leave the same time and all will be fine.
