"There was nothing for ut to go after her. The chase took me to many of the capitals of Europe, but she escaped me every time:

His Rhymes So Neat, Just Make You Eat

BRIGHTON's best known charac- ter is Alco Flowers, who calls him- self a "persuader."

As he stands outside a cafe on the Brighton

front, Alec persuades

passers-by to step inside for a meal and gives them à rhyming flow of words on the excellence of the shrimps, cockles and whelks.

His face, which he contorts and distorts in a hundred and one grimaces, is an entertalument in itself.

He also has a good line of bird- whistles in his repertoire.

"Many of the folks who come to Brighton think I ought to be on the Alms as a comic," Aice said,

"I have been on this job of 'per- suader' outside this same cafe since I was 14-and I am now 48."
