Hats off to Brighton Clock Tower's Movember 'Tache
What London does, Brighton could do (and frequently does) better...
Case in point: They put a Big Wheel by a river, impressive though the Thames is - We put our Brighton Big Wheel by the Sea.

In its introduction to Brighton and Hove, the Lonely Planet Guide states:
"Don’t listen to the folk that call Brighton little London-on-the-Sea. However cosmopolitan it has become, this is a place with a character and quirkiness all its own."

Which is true of course, hence why I believe that the Brighton Tower's 'Tache for Movember could be so much more - well, interesting - compared to Big Ben's Movember 'Tache pictured in the inset above. Below are some of our Brighton Tower moustache suggestions - Council please take note. If you have some further ideas, link to yours below...
What is Movember?
According to Wikipedia: Movember (a portmanteau of the slang word "mo" for moustache and "November") is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at Movember.com. The goal of Movember is to "change the face of men's health."

Albion and AITC (Albion in the Community), players and staff will avoid shaving their top lip for the month of November to help raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK, the Football League’s Official Charity Partner for the 2012/13 season. They are calling on male fans to join them in growing a moustache during Movember...
