Looking at the photo of the hotdog stand reminds me of O'Hagens hotdog shop on the seafront, just west of the Palace Pier in the 50s and 60s. You couldn't go by the shop without buying one. There were two big trays full of long sausages and onions sizzling away. The aroma made you instantly starving. Does anyone else remember O'Hagens?

Yes remember well the onion aroma,the sizzling dog, the hulking figure of O' Hagen. Boy he was a big fella.
It would be so nice to be able to walk the sea front, grab a hotdog and then stop at the milk bar for a ( UK milk shake). Does any body remember the milk bar?

Oooh, yes, those dogs smelt and tasted lovely! I remember the milk bar. Do you remember Jaconnellis - we spent hours in there playing the juke box?  Also a cafe in Middle Street run by an Italian couple, very popular with teenagers. They were a lovely pair, taught me to eat spaghetti with a spoon and fork.

I remember the cafe in Middle Street very well, I lived in a house right next door to it.

O'Hagan's was still there (or was it back?) in the 1970's. One Sunday night in 1976 I remember having had a shower and was just getting into bed when my pregnant wife told me she desperately wanted an O'Hagan's. Normally she hated hot dogs, but this time I had to dress, take the car out of the underground garage and go half way around Brighton just to shut her up. Paula is now 31 years old and loves hot dogs!
