The
Brighton Needle
There's
something new on the beach down in Brighton. It's thin,
round, and high, and has been put there for fun and it looks like a
needle. It's Britain's latest seaside attraction.
The
Brighton Needle (as I call it), is 138 metres high and has a cabin of
glass that goes up and down, and, when it gets to the top there's a
view that's fantastic. In fact, the best in the world. On a clear
summer day, the English can see what the French are having for lunch!
And,
the needle is popular, too. More than 1600 people go to the top
every hour, and, of course, the Needle has its very own restaurant
and the food is very, very good.
let's
go down to Brighten and go to the top of the Needle! It will be
fun. Do the French really eat frog legs for supper? We'll find out
tomorrow! See you at 3 on the beach!
