someone from the bait shop was having a blazing row with the 'music' man as we passed by
Mick Edwards, the one that 'appears here regular'? Some would say, too regular...

It was someone from that kiosk, I don't know if it was the man himself or not?  I notice the website says  'with a selection of music that caters for all tastes'  certainly not our tastes!

Seagulls have a lifespan of between 5 and 15 years depending upon the environment, predators etc.   D)

Speaking of birds lifespans and the pier, let me combine the two by mentioning that there has been a dead pigeon floating in the 'Fire Dept' water game at the end of the pier for about a week or so now.

excellent, I remember riding on the 'vintage car world tour', they were made by Supercars of Leamington Spa who my Grandfather did work for, they were models of the Ford Model T
I'll have a look in Wetherspoons sometime to see if they have exactly the same poster up ;)

I see that the Welsh Gifts kiosk on the Pier is the latest to close down. They guy that ran it had been there 30 years, there was a sign in the window that used to say so.
