I was in a massive queue in Tenerife airport and to help things along they were letting old people and the disabled into the EU queue. I stared at the guy doing the picking of who gets through and smiled with my lovely bald head and grey beard and he beckoned me and the wife through. She was mortified.
I was also recently at the bowls club watching the mother in law play and was shown to the dressing room as the steward thought i was playing.
Well, there's a small lake and church in the distance but even more curious is the church at the top of the chalk cliffs. There must be some mention of that in records of the history of the area - maybe in The British Library.
When I saw that painting my thought was the same as yours that it could be where the East Terrace was. I then had doubts because I thought the perspective looked more as if it was looking downhill rather than up. Of course it's a painting not a photo, so the painter could have messed around with the composition to make it look more appealing, giving an impression of the area rather than a facsimile.

When you forgot you shared that story on the previous page? 😆 knew I had read that recently on here.
A few weeks ago I went to the bowls club to watch my mother in law in a final. When arriving a lady started showing me where to get changed thinking I was in the bowling team. I was fuming. My wife didn’t stop laughing
My barber is just round the corner - I tend to walk past to see if they're busy or not. If they are busy, I walk home again - no worry. The problem is I can't keep walking past them because they'll think I'm mental.
Last time I took the car for a repeat check and sure enough they were free. I parked up, had my haircut and walked home. Then I had to go back and get the car cos I forgot it. They probably think I'm mental anyway
Having a Covid jab and telling the nurse it was "the best jab since Sonny Liston", and getting a blank stare in return, followed by my wife saying "She's not as old as you, you eejit".

Blimey mate, the nurses' mum probably doesn't remember Sonny Liston
Watching Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston on a black and white TV as a wee boy in the middle of the night when my big Brother switched BBC on and Harry Carpenter was the voice and face of boxing.
I’m late to this but I just heard a great description of people aged 50-60 as living in sniper’s alley
That was from Paul Whitehouse/Bob Mortimer. I remembered it as 60-65 for men & 60-63 for women. Get past those ages and you should be ok for another 15/20/25 years.
Finding the cold difficult to handle these days, so went on the Damart website and bought some thermal leggings - had them on for the Gills FA Cup match - young bloke stood near me was wearing shorts 🙄

The bloke in shorts was rushed to Gillingham hospital with hyperthermia after the game. Leggings rule. I may have to break mine out for this Saturdays game.
Long Johns, as they used to be called, are a basic necessity for pretty much the whole of the football season apart from the first few and last few weeks. Life's too short (and getting shorter) to be cold.

I wonder why that memory came into my head 🤔
