A Rare Glassy Teignmouth
Late glassy evening down at Teignmouth Beach on the 06/06/13 in Devon. an unusual swell popped up and saw Teignmouth have a playable wave to hit, not much serious riding but a fun couple of tricks from the locals,
Teignmouth 40° Heatwave May God Help us all.
A Sunshine Sickie
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We can't cope with a heatwave in England with many of us having the trademark mop of thick and curly ginger hair and the good old freckly milk bottle skin we inherited from our ancestors.
We just don't know how to behave in the heat , we can use brollies and zip up our Primark windcheaters in the wind and rain , but the Sun is a completely different kettle of fish , we go bananas in the Sun , absolutely apeshit crazy , screaming and shouting like we do on the
' Big One '
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
The first thing we do if the Sun is out during the working week , is to throw a well rehearsed sickie at work with that old chestnut of ,
' the runs and bad guts '
and
' stuff coming out of both ends '
from the dodgy prawns in the fictitious chow mein from The Happy Wok we never had , leaving our managers having to actually do some work for a change , instead of munching on Jaffa Cakes and drinking tea in their posh offices.
Absenteeism is rampant in this country when the Sun is out as we usually get very little of it.
We then head for the seaside or countryside in our snazzy F&F shorts and the more than comfortable Sports Direct XXXXL Slazenger T-shirts taking towels , speedos and a bikini just in case we go for a swim in the sea , river, canal or duck pond it doesn't matter we have to take full advantage of those rays and cool down when we get too hot.
Well don't forget to pack a little bit of a picnic too , that sea air can make you feel peckish , why not take some good old scotch eggs , jam doughnuts and bring the left over trifle from Sunday's Christening , oh and bring a flask of tea and some sugar free orange cordial , and a big must is the olive oil in an old salmon paste jar to try and help you get a proper tan , oh oh , and pack some calamine lotion too and cotton wool , in case you over do it in the strong sun , if you know where I'am coming from.
On arriving at our destination the first earache we encounter , is parking the car , have you got the right change to feed the meter ? or do you drive a mile away from the seafront and park your car outside someone's terraced house with a little barking dog in the front room window , ripping the curtains to shreads because of your arrival , you then do the long walk to the sea front with all your bits'n'bobs.
The beach is packed eventually you find a suitable place , not paying the bloody deck chair man , he can F.R.O.
[ F*ck Right Off ]
if you borrow
a kiddies little plastic rake you can scrape away all the pebbles and shells and lay out your £4 George beach towels. Ahhhhhh luxury , now's the time to slap plenty of olive oil on your face, not forgetting the back of your neck.
Ahhhhhhhhhh a well deserved day off with full pay life is good very good why not have a bit of scotch egg trouble is you haven't packed a knife so you find an old lolly stick on the beach that should do it and wash it in the sea , move over Ray Mears sit down Bear Grylls.
Bloody beautiful so tasty why not wash it down with a swig of tea from the flask , no alcohol for me today got to drive home not getting bottled, bagged, banged and banned like our Brian did in 1979.
Hang on a minute , I could just have 2 pints of Stella in The Jolly Roger Pub 200 yards down the beach , it does keep winking at me and the Stella would calm me down in this searing heat , it does look very tempting ah well better get some sunshine first to piss me mates off with me new tan , who needs Lloret de Mar when you've got all this free sunshine over here ?
Hey up why are those seagull's squawking at me and are coming over here , oh no there's two wasps on the jam doughnuts , good God just dropped me bloody scotch egg in the sand can't be doing with all.this stress arrrrgggghhh !!
Four hours of hard sun bathing later you decide to stroll up to The Jolly Roger to have yourself those well earned Stella's and why not ?
Your face feels very tight with a mask like sensation but not to worry it's just getting use to your new tan. After two pints you nip to the bogs for a leak and then look in the mirror and see the servere debilitating injuries to your face epecially on the back of your neck that feels like you've got a hot Tefal FV3778 Iron strapped to it , oh oh I'am in trouble now egg size blisters everywhere ,
Why is the room spinning ?
Three days later you wake up in hospital with a full head bandage with slits for your eyes nose and mouth , and you reflect back to your wonderful day out at the seaside as you are wheeled to the awaiting Ambulance , you wave goodbye to the Health assirants and the Car park attendant you can't beat the good old NHS I love the Sun.

CBCCC car exhibition in Teignmouth 2014 21/04/14
Making a most welcome appearance on the Den at Teignmouth, the Crash Box & Classic Car Club had organised one of their many magnificent gatherings, where all manner of cars both old and new could be exhibited for all to see, with many old motors including:
- 1987 Volkswagen Jetta: The small family car for the early 1990's, interesting to note that in China this particular version of the Jetta was still being produced until last year, even though the European built models have had 3 facelifts since.
- 1971 Triumph TR6: The best selling of the Triumph TR range.
- 1914 Wolseley Stellite: Seen celebrating its 100th birthday.
- 1970 Triumph 2000: Continuing Triumph's long standing partnership with renowned designer Giovanni Michelotti.
- 1958 Jaguar XJ150: The XJ150 was very much the sporty equivalent of the Jaguar MkI.
- 1951 Ford Pilot V8: Largely constructed from surplus military supplies such as Bren gun carriers.
- 1966 Riley Elf: Picking up on the success of the plucky Mini, the Riley Elf and equivalent Wolseley Hornet were an attempt at a luxurious version, turning the charming runabout into a more traditional saloon style car.
- 1979 Triumph TR7: The car that has been accredited with many things, a majority of which are bad. It has been accredited as being the first car to be styled after a block of cheese, and the car that single handedly killed off the British Sports car with its terrible unreliability.
- 1994 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage: The design that started a trend that Aston Martin and Jaguar have been following ever since. The Vanquish, the DB9, the DBS, all of their style can be traced back to the DB7 pioneer.
- 1969 Jaguar E-Type: One of the last of the famous E-Type breed, the final few being constructed by British Leyland.
- 1937 Morris Eight MkI: Based on the highly successful Ford Model Y, the Morris Eight was the must-have car during the years of World War II.
- 1967 Triumph Herald: You've seen it on Top Gear, thankfully this one isn't taking a dive into Dover Harbour. Built to take on the likes of the Ford Anglia, the Triumph Herald was the first of a long line of magnificent motors to have the magic touch of Giovanni Michelotti put into their design.
- 1980 Austin Maxi: Often seen as the brakeless blunder, from the brilliant mind that designed the Mini.
- 1967 Austin Mini: Another example of Britain's plucky automotive symbol.
- 1972 Porsche 911: The car that Jeremy Clarkson will always point out that the engine is in the wrong place.
- 1966 Volvo P1800S: The Swedish Saint of Speed. It's no surprise that Roger Moore's character Simon Templar chose to make this his automotive mark in the Saint.
- 1926 Chrysler Imperial: The first generation of the mighty pre-war Imperials, one of America's earliest luxury cars.
- 1955 Jaguar XK140: A step up from the previous XK120, with many new features including more interior space, improved brakes, rack and pinion steering, increased suspension travel, and telescopic shock absorbers instead of the older lever arm design.
- 1973 Mercedes 350SL: The classic Mercedes that everyone in Beverley Hills wanted at least one of!
- 1996 Jaguar XJS: Built to replace the E-Type by British Leyland, the XJS continued to soldier on well into the 1990's.
- 1967 Morris Minor 1000: There's certainly plenty of Minors, but not many Travellers, despite the fact that they continued to be built long after the standard version had ceased.
- 1976 SAAB 96: From the company that brought you all kinds of aeronautical brilliance.
- 2000 Bristol Blenheim: A hand built beauty from the company that brought us another kind of Bristol Blenheim, the mighty WWII fighter/bomber.
- 1967 Jaguar MkII: The motor of Inspector Morse, and you can see why...
- 1976 Ford Escort RS2000: A car that regularly competed for the high speed runabout category with the likes of the Volkswagen Golf GTi.
- 1979 Volkswagen Type II: The happy go lucky campervan for those Woodstock types.
- 1965 MG Midget: Another one of the many great British Sports cars of the 1960's, remembered up there with the likes of the Austin-Healey and the AC Cobra.
- 1986 Citroen 2CV: It's interesting to note how many of these there are still running around, even though they have the crash safety of a china cabinet.
- AC Cobra: The Cobra's were certainly popular today, eventually 7 of them made an appearance! The fruits of the partnership between the late Carroll Shelby and the first British car manufacturer AC, it was once noted that someone took one of these bad boys up the M1 at 186mph, therefore resulting in the 70mph speed limit we have today.
Enjoy!

Rainy Trip To Paignton and Torbay | Mini Golf, Arcades and Dancing | Beverley Holidays | May 2017
Join Dom, Kirsty, Mitch and myself for a weekend break to Paignton! Dom very kindly showed us around the site of Beverley Holidays, a wonderful quaint vacation spot for those who enjoy a good caravan holiday in the UK. Then, we set off to the seaside. We visited the arcades as well as played some adventure golf, a real favourite of mine!
Dom had to work in the evening, but kept us entertained while we enjoyed a few beverages. We also joined in playing some ridiculous games on the dance floor, before ending our fun day out!
The next day we visited a mountain on another beach before heading into Torbay, a beautiful little seaside resort where the weather thankfully was on our side.

THE LOST CITY OF EXETER
Exeter is a city of great beauty and a place very close to my heart. These are a few still images sourced from the public domain and edited together to make this montage. The damage to the Cinema by a wartime bomb can still be seen today if you look at the chunks missing from the steps and entrance way. It must be said the City Council are systematicaly finishing the work of the Luftwaffe, and so many of these old buildings have been demolished in my lifetime. The ornate Street lamps that can be seen in many of these images still exist in the Councils yard on Marsh Barton. The rickety wooden houses at 1:19 still exist. You can see the ones still remaining if you walk past Endicotts down New Bridge Street and look over the parapit, just above the leat is possibly the last untouched Tudor building left in town.
