My God, you are desperate recycling your own posts, this time; BUT with not even a catchy phrase - just an unfunny ramble. You really have lost the plot and the thinking behind snappy seaside cards - why don't you just give it up as a bad job, and realise you are not funny. You weren't before Rood, and now you're even worse.

Here's a lovely old card. It didn't have a caption so I added one of my own.

I'm afraid you have trouble with scanning. Work on it.

Thanks for your interest, Chappers. Here's another poem in postcard form extolling the virtues of the saucy seaside.

Love the poems, especially the first, bittersweet one.

'Get in the sea is a popular saying these days.

Is it the same bloke in every one of the caught in bed with a bird routines? Gets around a bit, lucky sod.

Thank you, Beaky. You're an aesthete.

Very clever - definitely a cut above (most of) the rest.

In 1994, the original colour artwork for this postcard by Arnold Taylor was sold for £3850 - a record price for a saucy seaside postcard.

What a coincidence - his name!

I suppose Richard would have been too subtle.
