£5!!!?
We were last there a couple of years before COVID.
Oh well, I’ll bear that in mind for our next visit

Sorry to hear that Susan, I’m glad it didn’t break down while we were visiting. Mrs Fox wouldn’t go up anyway, she doesn’t like heights. I thought it would make a good place to take photographs, and I’m a sucker for climbing high places.
Shame it had to be demolished though…

Brighton was always my go to place back in the 50s. Almost every Friday evening through the summer months myself and three or four mates would leave Croydon on our bikes and head off down the A23. We slept under the pier Friday and Saturday nights and came back Sunday afternoon. Occasionally we went further afield and slept under upturned boats on Portsmouth beach. I still have that bike but only for sentimental reasons. I prefer my mountain bike these days although there are very few mountains around Surrey.

Can you believe it had no escape route though . No stair way inside or out . I never went in it . Were you aware when you went up you couldn’t get out or off ?
I wonder if the London Eye has an escape route , I wouldn’t go up in that , I hate heights to
They had to change the law when they built the PO Tower because it was the only building that could be evacuated by lift. However it does have stairs, when the IRA bomb went off on the public gallery my colleagues started down the steps, after a couple of floors they decided that they were probably safer remaining in the Tower and returned to the control floor (#16).
I wonder how that lookout tower was allowed to be built? I would not have thought it would be legal.
Get yourself a small boat and set yourself up as local ferryman Foxy…£3 a trip sound reasonable?
As a frustrated angler I have to ask, is that a canal or river? I’m going to stick my neck out and say river given the raisable bridge.
I’m going to Flint in North Wales today, I’ll take a couple of snaps. 
Can you nip down the road to Llangollen and take a couple of photos, I forgot to take some last time there 
It’s the Sheffield to Keadby canal Chilli. Apparently there is some good fishing to be had on that stretch of it…Although a bit too slow for me. I’ll probably take up fishing or golf when I get old…

Well Flint turned out to be a council estate that was being circled by a low flying police helicopter so I didn’t even bother getting out of the car. 
I did go to Prestatyn but all there was to see there was an offshore wind farm. 
So I went to Chester and had some grub In Wetherspoons.

Yep Ralph, at the Rhyl airshow in a couple of weeks, that bit of coastline can be a bit depressing, even from the A55 
Good choice Ralph. I visited Fflint (that’s Welsh for Flint 
) on a job when I was a courier and I wasn’t impressed either, got out of there pretty sharpish…
You should have gone up the road a few miles to Llandudno, one of the prettiest seaside places in Britain. In fact, it’s so good we go every year…

Yes I agree it’s a beautiful place, It’s like going back in time, a Victorian oasis.
That’s a great picture
