I find the picture "sea6.jpg" especially interesting. In that picture you can see the old carrier-bike with push-down stand, you can see an old Vespa motorbike, and in the right-hand corner you can see the old Goldilocks icecream van. I luv it...great memories of when I was a lil boy.

Oh GB , thanks , I enjoyed thos pics.
So the first pic with the big able rock yonduh is at Oistins?
The boats in Trafalgar sq, was it hurricane time ? I c the national insurance building is over yonder so
Uh was thinking its most likely in the 70s that the pic was taken. nice pics.

Girl you asked a good question bout dah first picture...I think it is Oistins but still not 100% certain. The one with boats in Trafalgar Square was most likely in the 70s as you said, and I was trying to remember if it was customary for boats to be parked there or not. I'm sure that some of our OLDER members like Waltz, Jock, and BB may be able give you more definite answers.
