Every Home Should Have One

This is what's great about being British, here on a hill high above Chesil Beach on Portland is something I'm sure no other nation does quite so well - eccentricity.

Seeing this brought a smile to my face and reminded me of that old joke: Egg and rasher of bacon in a frying pan when a sausage is placed next to them, "Blimey it's hot in here," says the sausage, "Wow!" goes the egg, "talking sausage." I know, I know, there's no reason for it other than the heady excitement brought on by my forty ninth birthday and the cold air as I stood looking out across the length of Chesil Beach.
