COMMUTERS had a surprising wake-up call at Brighton Train Station yesterday.

The Odd Sock Exchange has been installed to mark the opening of the Oddsocks bar and kitchen at Jurys Inn on Stroudley Road.

Commuters are being encouraged to hand in their odd socks to the Odd Sock Exchange, and in return Oddsocks will donate £1 to Ronald McDonald House Brighton, a charity that provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation for families with children in hospital.

The Odd Sock Exchange will be at Jurys Inn Brighton on Stroudley Road until July 21.
