Honing Very Important And Pertinent Southport Skills .......

Almost on the cusp of our much awaited trip to Southport to finally meet, in person, in actual real life, our beloved followers and friends Pharmacy Michelle and Seaside Karen .......


....... it has to be said that some of Eric's preparation has left even the ever fragrant Alice with a raised eyebrow and a slight shake of her head in erm ...... disbelief,  .....


..... as it seems the little fella, not wishing for his 2p dropping and pushing skills to be found wanting or for that matter called into question in Funland, the amusement arcade at the Grand Entrance to Southport pier (sadly, still closed, but set for restoration, to start sometime this year)......   


....... has taken to seriously studying the videos of "Coin Pusher" on YouTube, with full intent of honing his own pusher skills!  Heaven only help us all when he finally gets to grip with his own plastic cup full of 2p's when we get there ........ however, I doubt very much that we'll be calling for a bucket(s) to collect the deluge of coins he's imagining 
or bringing any gold ingots home! What is he like?

Great research, Eric. There's probably an online computer game, too, if you have a good look.

A little later....

I just checked. There are coin pusher games online, plus strategy tips, too. You may have to consider it you tell Eric this. He'll be far too excited.

Goodness-the amusement arcade’s had better watch out, i hope you are packing a spare bag for all his winnings? Seriously -the forecast is for rain so pack your rain hood! I just need to get through today at work then I have 5 days off & am looking forward to meeting everyone.
