I sat there and watched the paint dry on my neighbours door yesterday

We once went to Morecambe to watch the traffic lights change- they're really good, three different colours! The crowds all cheered each time they changed.
After three hours we got fed up and went to see Eric- he's good too, never moves, not like those young 'performers' with white faces and clothes stood on boxes.
I think I prefer the traffic lights to cmons ships.

Each to his own, Gordon. Hope you stayed to watch the sunset, best in the world and more colours than the traffic lights.

I've always loved ships... watching them, being on them, and I think Cmon's site is fascinating. Only wish I could watch them for real here but no chance - have to go to Heysham or Glasson for that, our nearest places.

Really? We were so busy watching the lights and Eric, we never noticed.

By the way, cmon, if you see the Russian North Atlantic Fleet heading into the Irish Sea you must warn us!

Seriously, the site is quite interesting, it's astonishing how much shipping around us.

Susie, I posted that especially for you, I was sure you'd bite,you were quicker than I expected. Morecambe folk hate that joke.

We left our caravan on a site at Hest Bank for several years,lovely area, the sunsets are spectacular and we often went into Morecambe, especially for the Sunday Market(believe it's not so good now?) so I joke tongue in cheek. They made a good job of the Promenade but I don't think anything will get the town going again.
