Tailor & Hosier

Or he was, I wonder what 'L' stands for?

I am going for 'Leonard'... I wonder if Google can help out? 

The Criterion

A little shabby perhaps...

The Criterion on Upper Church Road has been open and closed more often than an open and closed thing lately it seems.  It is open again now and looks like having a decent list of beers & ciders on offer.

Worth a look!

Land Train

Another welcoming sign for the tourists...

This is not a huge, dangerous & menacing train mowing down hapless civilians, it is a tiny tractor turned into a 'train' for kids to ride up and down the seafront.

Tourist Attraction

Ah we do a great job of selling the features of our town... ;)

The Major From Glengarry

The Major From Glengarry.  Not a pub I have tried yet but I guess I should as it is so close to the house, I always tend to walk past it in favour of the bars on the sea front.  One day...

The name could have something to do with the Glengarry Light Infantry, will have a nose about if I go in someday.

My Roadsign

I didn't travel far for todays photo, it is the sign at the bottom of my road...

I am surprised the postman knows where to deliver the letters really, can you see what the road is called?

No, it really isn't 'No Through Road'...

Do Not Go!

Pretty much to the point...

This sign is on the beach, but it was pointing out to sea, so exactly WHO was it advising not to go on?

Lorrain's tea bar

Winter in any seaside town is strange, but especially in one that can appear quite run down even in the summer months. I love the tatty old signs blowing in the wind, and the tackiness of any graphics - a contrast which seems even more stark on a grey dreary winter's day. This is Lorrain's tea bar, a snack bar and bucket and spade shop which opens in the summer and is just an empty shell in the winter. I often wonder if she is really Lorrain without an 'e' or if the signwriter got it wrong!

Inland Jellyfish!?

On our walk through Uphill Boat Yard yesterday, I found this sign which I couldn't resist! Can jellyfish live in fresh water?? Or is it a cunning ruse to scare off would-be swimmers??
