Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
We went for my 40th. Fantastic place but 50% of the water was jelly fish BIG ones. Pavarotti opened it. OM15 in the chair.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
That is unfair. How did OM15 know you were there last Sunday. In future please keep us informed of your whereabouts so we don't post photos of your house or summat.Malvernian wrote: ↑Fri Apr 29, 2022 10:04 amThe Pump House, floating harbour Bristol. Sat at one of those tables last Sunday lunchtime

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
It is indeed, Sir Edward Elgar, he is at the end of the High Street Worcester, and is facing the Cathederal. About 100 mtrs behind him is where his father had a music shop, long since gone though.

Surprised that the statue is still standing. Bet some idiot can find that his great, great grandfather owned a toilet brush bought from a crewman on a slave ship.

It has been quiet for too long. Always like to post places I have been to. This place many times.

Agree - particularly at the Cenotaph.
The photo looks like the far side of the Moon - Aden perhaps?

Nice rendition FD2. Yes I agree it is not a very good satellite shot. Let us try a photo. No not the moon or Aden.FD2 wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 12:13 pmSurprised that the statue is still standing.
