Oh ,I see .Frinton gets an upper class type of lurker then ? . Wink

Or is he posing as a toilet attendant then Ivan ? Why is he squatting ? dont the mens have them thingies on the wall ? or ....noooo..is he in the Ladies ... Shocked

The Mind Boggles .

Talking of the Taj Mahal ,I think we should have nominations for Tendrings Ten Treasures in which we could nominate the best of Tendring .Like the Seven wonders of the world type tingy. Idea

Have to think up some catagories ...hmmmmmm ....over to Ivan and Vicar...

Well, how about the total regeneration of the town centre?
It might be good to look at but is it a lot of use?

I'm surprised Ivan hasn't nominated the Pie and mash shop yet Wink

I think theres the germ of an idea here, what famous person could be invited to advertise their sitting (h) on the throne in the Taj Mahal. Perhaps a famous footballer or a great artist, theres a certain person who cuts fish and things in half, can't remember the name and that German guy who embalms bodies, ghoulish chappie. Frinton would attract all sorts after that.

Any one of the Darwin Award winners families should just about do it for Frinton ....... Very Happy

I think you are thinking of that Damon Hirst fella Amenity.

"what famous person could be invited"
well i`ve heard that Captain Invinceable has reasonable rates for pensioners,
or just maybe you could lure John from his "food of the gods" pie `an mash shop if you promise to go round the block on the pillion of his vespa GS of 60`s vintage.
We also have really famouse proper cockney geezers who say "treacle" a lot, `aint that right me old sunshine..
The thought of being sliced down the middle to make a mirror image of ones self does make me legs go wobbly though....and i dont care if you do live at No. 666, so Damien Hertz is a no go..(where did that come from.?.)
Our very own Health & Safety nightmare with the flying arrows can be a good choice to, Mr george (just dont call him a bricky).
Our very famous Mr george wears more gold than an Arab camel trader (i`m jealous)
A Lord Lucan personator could help out in changing over in mid squat...
And as for embalming, well, jokes about Frintonians will NOT go down well here, even if your surname is Frankenstien....oops....

You've given me an idea Ivan,

Frinton could ask the British Museum that they build an extension down here (only 4% of their stock is on display according to BBC radio yesterday) so we could have a Mummy section, it could be built adjacent to the Taj Mahal, shouldn't cost too much say £20 million or so going by the recent outlay on the new loo designed especially for, we shall say, the proposed new museum.

I do hope TDC take this opportunity to charge for overnight stays in a Mummy sarcophagus.

I'm not saying yet until I've got more ideas. You could say I'm sitting on it if you were desperate for any sort of clue as to Number One (OH, I did it again there).

Of course something similar has been done before, but not on such an ambitious scale

Nice link Vicar .
Only difference from then and now is the lack of chip wrappers and litter that now seem to plague us.I love Walton so the Naze could be one of the Natural wonders ...
I am still scratching my head to come up with a Wonder of Clacton (no I haven't got 'visitors' either before you ask).The gardens would be a good place to start ,but they are spoilt by that awful drought tolerant garden ,hmm how about St Osyth Priory ...nope that is shut to the public .....hmmmmm ok give up.

Hey ,finally caught up with the EG and reckon we could always nominate the Amazing Mayzes clever idea to disguise themselves as wind turbines .love the comment about objects being smaller in the distance ,it would seem that they are back again doing the impression of siamese twins ...do they never do anything alone ? ....now I apologise for digressing ....hey lets all go stand in a field .......

Quick someone get in touch with the wind farm people .........a hose pipe connected to Ivan and the National grid will do away with the need for wind farms ,hey why bother with horrible pictures of the A M 's when we have Ivan overdosing on garlic Laughing

Has anyone noticed how this thread has gone from public toilets to Ivans 'windy problem'in just a few short posts Embarassed

Now who says we go off on a tangent ,we get back to where we started in the end .

Spotted something wonderous today ...the fountain was working Razz

,but it was not the fountain that was wonderous ,oh no ,it was the sheer determination shown by the half dozen cardboard boxes that refused to deteriorate in the face of several dozen childrens feet that were determined to jump on them till they were a pulp ,we watched for a good 20 minutes but by then a bag of discarded chips had joined in and we got bored Sad

.
So I nominate the humble discarded box for an award. Wink
