Did you notice the 'bumping boats' in the 1920's film? They were the ones that Gwynant mentioned on a recent post. I remember spending Saturday afternoons at the Lido during the summer when I was a youngster. I seem to remember the water was salt from the sea and it was always bleedin' freezing, it was quite a big pool with three or four diving boards, no health and safety then, we used to throw ourselves off the top board, great fun. :D

Tablecloth Trick, very short, 14 seconds, but it tells it all!
Anyone who ever raised a son (or was one) will appreciate this.

By the way -- the smaller boy is A-o.k.

I was mesmerised by that.... seen a similar thing before, but not the finale, where you can see how integral the feather is to the delicate construction.

I found myself applauding at the screen!

Extremely impressive, even though it had an extra four bars in:-))) But beautiful, nonetheless.

Funny you should say that, ....our table looked quite similar to that ensemble after we had left The Lilly, The Gresh, The Cross Keys and The Fountains on Tuesday last week.  ZXZ

Ian, an extra 4 bars eh?  How remiss of them, I look forward to hearing your rendition of that little ditty very soon!  Shall we say, The King's Head?  8pm?  :)
