Tenbury bridge this lunchtime - the counties sign is clearly visible as proven by the super hi-res close up!

In order to keep things moving, I'm happy to accept this.

Whats next @ChrisW

Jolly good - let's have 'your bike by a pub'.

Cheeky bastard, if you have an uncropped copy of your first photo that includes your mirror in shot you can get this one too

It was indeed a pub! Not to worry, that's the uncropped original.

Wouldn't have counted anyway

My bike with the Nelson at Southwold, next your bike with a body of water, like a lake or the sea.

I've come to the conclusion that I quite like Southwold when it's quiet, it's when it's full of fuckwits that I don't like it, and it is a fuckwit magnet.
This picture was taken at about 07:00 on Bank Holiday Monday, there were a few swimmers in the sea, a woman reading a book and that was about it, but in the 15 minutes I was there two cars tried to come down a clearly marked dead end street and had to reverse out.

The twat quotient certainly increased when COVID happened. I've not been there for a few years (hey, one less twat )

Everywhere that happened. It's quite sad how much fuckwittery has increased since then

All the wealthier people who couldn't go abroad due to COVID went to Southwold and prices went crazy. We used to regularly stay in a house at the end of the harbour near the water tower when the kids were younger but not now

Moving on from whether Southwold is a shit hole or not, here's a photo of Lough Erne -


If that's acceptable, then your bike with a nautical themed statue.

Definitely acceptable

Damn - the first statue that springs to mind is the Nelson & Murray one in North street Chichester.... but it's half-way down the pedestrianised zone! dabnabbit!

You've changed since you stopped commuting in London.

Nautical, but not a Statue. I think the Originals have pulled them all down around these parts.
Is it a winner or a loser ?

I'd say it fits the spirit, but it's @Lutin 's call.

Fine by me.

Ok. A Statue this time. A sporting one.
(Bonus points for the one in central Nottingham)
