[News] Beach Huts: What GIVES?

[Cowfold Seagull]

Well, the Hove ones aren't great because there is a public path between you and the beach and you're gonna be gawped at by dog walkers and roller bladers. Nicer in Shoreham and Lancing where you are actually on the beach. 30K is a lot of money. But I think they should be expensive, especially the ones on the beach. You're taking a part of the beach away from the public. It should cost.

Personally, I do not like the concept of beach huts. I don't like the way humans cannot just go to a nice beach and be happy to share it with others. No, they have to plant their flag in it, so to speak. They have to own a bit if it. Extraordinarily stupid behaviour when one takes a moment to think about it.

I've never really thought about it like that before, but there is something about what you say.

When the wife finally retires at the end of this year, we have plans to maybe move down to spend our latter years living in a bunglaow by the seaside.

The wife has visions of owning a beach hut at Goring Gap, suffice to say that l'm fighting it. As has been said, all that money for what is tantamount to a garden shed with a sea view, and how many days a year would the weather be clement enough to use it anyway?, plus knowing Mrs. CS, she will soon become fed up with it, and move on to something else . . .

I would be concerned about you lot getting crushed in the monorail queue on 70 minutes.

Au contraire. I’m a 90 minute plus man. A couple of pints post match then my carriage awaits me for my dedicated monorail journey to my awaiting seat on Southern’s finest. Perfect.

These bad boys at Mudeford are not too shabby

Really?

Swanage in Dorset, I’ve been there to stay many times and noticed plenty of beach huts, the beach is very nice but I honestly didn’t know how much these huts cost.

£50 a day hire. Be lucky to get 100 days a year booked in the UK. Would take 6 years just to make the £30k back, never mind costs.

17% yield, that's actually pretty good!

OIRO £300,000. And that's only for the ones with the outdoor toilets

Beach huts - the big head scratcher unless you inherit one.

A friend got one last year in Hove, fortune buying it and rebuilding it, and then if she died suddenly it reverts back to council so I was told. Sounds strange if true. Guess if you are feeling unwell then make arrangements to sell it.

WELL [MENTION=38]Beach Hut[/MENTION]?

Has always struck me as spending a sunny day in a garden shed on a public footpath. Or am I missing something?

The best one is unfortunately fenced off.

You may convey them to him directly, at his drinking establishment, the public house that bears his very name, on the Lewes Road.

You can't miss it, it glows a grotesque shade of yellow at any time, day or night.

It was a man cave.

Verily, with utmost haste.

There are three things that ruin a beech for me. People, pebbles & beach huts.
