RE: Fifty Word Story: Saved From The Waves
I have very fond memories of Clacton, particularly the rollercoaster and the pier. Those clothes would probably not be out of place!
Thanks for your story and for joining in with #fiftywords!
Is that Clacton coming up in the world, then? Depends, I 'spose on what you make of Versace. Or the guys who wear him....
More the latter I would say. It's Essex. Always dressed. Even at the beach!
Very true. Shorter than mini or tighter than hot, dressed to the nines, always! I probably should have picked Brightlingsea or Earlham's Beach. But back in the eighties, on a grey day, this guy in Clacton (or was it Frinton?) in orange shoes left an impression on me as someone out of place (or French!). His partner/date stormed off hysterically, while he remained non-plussed on the pavement, by the car he'd just parked (something French which wasn't popular back then). I couldn't help wondering if he would go after her in his flashy shoes, if she ended up, melodramatically, in the sea.
