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.

Dave, you've waited long enough.... under the laws of finders-keepers,  its yours. 
You can collect it tomorrow.

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 ;)

Didn't they have two 'steering wheels' one on the passenger side & one one the driver's side?

It looked remarkably well preserved when I last saw it. Maybe the cold weather is helping to preserve it.

I seem to recall that they did, but it was a long time ago now!

earlier this afternoon we went for a walk on the pier only to find it closed at both entrances, seems madness on a nice sunny day like this  ???

Frozen Pipes, means no toilets, no cafe, no bar.... and no work for me!

Not sure what difference the frozen pipes actually make, as when I walked up last weekend, the bar was closed (it was being painted on a Sunday!) and the cafe and toilets were closed also. Certainly wasn't freezing then either! It's almost like they don't want customers to spend any money....

Don't worry.
On a freezing day like this, no one ever wants to spend money, (it means taking your gloves off)
...and I am too full of flu to work in any case!
