Then we went up the i360 which is basically a donut shaped elevator that goes up a tall pole. It’s built on the pier head of the West Pier that burned down in 2003.

The views were good, but reflections made photography difficult

The story of the sabertooth, the beetroots and the stingy nettles :


Once upon a time, a very long time ago there lived a vegetarien saber tooth. He loved all the small and big grass eating animals around him and he don`t want to eat them. His favorite food was beetroot.....................

......Which he ate so much of that his hide turned purple. The herbivores grazed and frolicked all around him, and knew he would do them no harm. But the poor beetroot were terrified of his ginormous gnashers. so they got together and devised a plan............................

........They decided to roll around in stinging nettles, since they were immune to them, hoping that old sabre tooth would soon realize beet root is not to be trifled with. . . .

.....But they wanted to make sure the stinging nettles would go along with this plan, so they needed to send a messenger. Since beetroots live in the ground, they asked if any of the butterflies would bring their request to the stinging nettles. "I'll go!" said the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly. "Great," said the beetroots. "We'd be very grateful if they'd help us out!" The Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly knew where the stinging nettles grew because when the butterfly was a tiny larva, it loved to eat stinging nettle...


...As an astute reader might have guessed, the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly had a cunning plan of her own. (In fact, it was as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.) While posing as a messenger from the Beetroots, she would deposit her precious tiny eggs all over the Stinging Nettles so that her larvae, when they emerge, could enjoy the same feast she once had. With that plan in mind, she headed straight to the Mother Stinging Nettle and her offspring. Unfortunately, two arrogant young butterflies, the girlfriends of butterfly superstars named Peacock and Red Admiral, had had a similar idea only two days ago and, to Mother Nettle’s horror, vandalized three of her more tender offspring. The Mother Stinging Nettle hadn’t seen it coming then, but now she was prepared. She asked the dandelion to send a messenger to the Formidable Mr. Wasp...

Now Mr Wasp was something of a hipster trendsetter. His gaudy striped clothing was designed to attract as much attention as possible and, naturally, he believed that organic was the only way to live. While the dandelion and stinging nettle fitted his ethos, could he be convinced that the Beetroot was worthy of his assistance...

So far so good :D But what did Mr. Wasp wants to do ?????

.... But in real life every cool man has a wife that is much more cooler than him and often more helpful. When Mrs. Wasp heard that the beetroots need help he stung his husband with her sting and shouted: "When they need our help, we will help, or you will get no sleep until the problem is fixed, I promise you my dear ! "
So the hip Mr. Wasp ask all his friends what to do to help the beetroots and they have a good idea:
