I used to live in East Wittering...long ago. Then myparents moved to Bracklesham. They didn't stay long as it went dead in the winter. I have fond memories of walking from east to west. Say hello to the sea for me.

I always walked along the beach especially when it was high tide. I loved climbing over the break waters.

Bet that went down well in posh West Witters, Prickles. I would've enjoyed the spectacle, but had to stay home as my fireman turned up to erect posts for our new front gates and I needed to be around to trim a bush and that sort of thing. Hey, have to tell you this - when I was out on the pavement, up a ladder, trimming said bush, some White Van Men drove past and gave me a whistle. Nearly fell off the ladder :-D

Sorry to go off piste, Dizzi.

That must be some bush you got there............if you had to climb up a ladder in order the trim it! :-0

No wonder you got a wolf wistle!! ;-)

Off down the garden to shut up the shed and greenhouse, larfing as I go. Prickles, you're such a norty girl!

Can I just remind you that this thread is about Spike - mind you, my bush was pretty spikey to-day, I have to say. Up to the loft tomorrow to find my Spike Milligan's book of poems.

Otherwise Dizzi might get cross.

Everybody in Wittering was wearing that today. That is the class of visitor they get!

The women are not much better.

So you didn't catch any crabs for tea then?

Edit to add - Spike Milligan refers to *crabs* in his writings, but probably not those found at West Wittering :-S
