The
downside of this glorious sunshine we've been having is that it tends to
attract the lower orders to the beach. On to it they spill with their Red
Stripe and their heroin (no doubt bought at taxpayers expense) to jeer
boorishly as one carries ones kayak to the waters edge.
Only yesterday I was demonstrating to Sebastian, my youngest, how to construct
a simple beam bridge using only sand and driftwood when one of them kicks a
ball into it, completely destroying the lenticular truss. The merest apology of
'sorry mate' was offered to which I did not respond, attending as I was to a
tearful Seb.
I am not in favour of any sort of Apartheid, having marched against that evil
system many times in my home town of Guildford (indeed I occupied the post of
political fundraiser at the Farmers Market there) but I perhaps think that the
beach should be divided in some way to accommodate the diversity of
recreational activities enjoyed there.
Perhaps football and related activities should take place up towards the
amusements and Wimpy Bar area and Kayaking and medieval bridge construction
down where the nicer houses are.
Merely a suggestion but I'm sure, one day soon, an enforceable reality.
