Oh Christ.... what I am saying (before I surely expire) is that there was a sign on the arcade door saying that it was only open Thursday to Sunday in the winter.
Of course I realised that this applied only to the arcade, and not the pier...... because the pier was OPEN on all the days I saw it.
Fester, please allow me to spell it out for you before you burst a blood vessel.
We both agree there were notices displayed inside the glass windows of the arcade stating the arcade was closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. D)
However, eventually a SECOND notice appeared outside the pier entrance and just to the left of the pier gates stating the pier was only open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We first saw the SECOND notice probably during January when the weather began improving.
I apologise if I did not make it clear enough.
In that case, DaveR, did you ever once see a sign outside the pier gates stating the pier (not arcade) was only open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday ?
This a red herring, DaveR, as we noticed that and we had also seen a notice inside the arcade to that effect as well but as time moved on the pier gates were locked and the sign outside clearly stated the pier was only open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
To help clear up the obvious confusion, I e-mailed the General Manager this morning and he has since confirmed there was a sign at the pier gates for three months and has also admitted it should have been made clearer that the closure only referred to the arcade.
Given the fact that there was a sign just outside the pier gates that you obviously missed..............
