Bet you don't see many Bikinis on your High St.

Thank heavens for that! Last thing you want is me in my mankini.

Think I'd prefer you in a burkha..

I can't wait until the Workies are back up the chimneys and we can have the World back to ourselves.

It'll be busy down here for the next week or so, then quieter up to Whitsun.
It's manic for about 6 - 8 weeks in the summer, depending on the weather.
Tourist industry reps reckon bookings are well up this year.

Tourist industry reps = Workies with a poncey name.

If I cooked tea for a 5 year old, he probably wouldn't have a future with my culinary skills!

Its a narrow squeak for my little one with my skills, but managed to heat up an M&S lasagne without blowing anything up.
