Meeting up with a couple of friends for lunch today at the thatched cottage, it's the only thatched building in that area somehow surviving since 1774 in-spite of being built right on the sea front.
It's a bit hit and miss there, mostly the food is ok-good but the service is sometimes far from adequate but honestly that sums Weston-Super-Mare up! Almost all the seafront is owned by one sprawling family of Cypriot's who have one way of doing things.
Why bother going there? Cos it's near the cinema that's showing 'The Fall Guy' a staple of my childhood television when growing up, looking forward to it.
Colt Seavers, The A-Team, Knights Rider, Chips, The million dollar man, Dukes of Hazzard and Monkey Magic are responsible for the hours and hours we spent outside making increasingly dangerous ramps, jumping off things we shouldn't have scaled in the first place and hitting things with bamboo canes!
Now I think about it, British children's television in the 80's was diabolical, it was all about educating you to be a fair and good person, all done in a heavy patronising manner, usually with puppets.
Without the relief of American kids programmes myself and my brothers would have had a very different childhood!
