The biggest headline, and greatest excitement in the town, I can remember was when the waves swept an old dear on a bicycle of the front in mid-winter: I think that the geriatrics were putting the constabulary under pressure to arrest the wave for manslaughter - as you say: What a way to go - and what a place to go to, I've only once been back in recent years, and nothing's improved!

Off to the local hostelry now, for a couple of pints of Adnams, and a fine bottle of Italian wine!
