Whitehaven 100 years ago: coal mine
Whitehaven now: artisanal camomile tea shop

Site of the only US invasion of the UK, slightly hindered as the Yanky sailors decided to get a bit pissed in one of the local pubs:). The Capatain, John Paul Jones, went on to become an Admiral in the Imperial Russian Navy, being forced to leave that as it turned out he was a bit of a nonce and child rapist. The Yanks were forgiven about 20 years ago for their cheeky attack and there is now a consulate to the USN in the town.

Claire has just set off to take FoL#1 Ellie to Heathrow for her month in Tokyo. She’s staying with her boyfriend and his mum, so she’s been told in no uncertain terms not to embarrass herself/us, and to make the most of this fantastic opportunity and not lie in bed til 3 in the afternoon.

Also gave her a list of R2R tapes to look out for and instructions to return with a decent bottle of Japanese whisky.

Bit worried because she has quite a lot of visible ink, not sure how it’ll go down over there.

Although she will struggle to visit public onsen and baths, she shouldn’t have much issue with visible ink elsewhere. They see a lot with international sports stars and artists.

And I’ve just found her AirPods charging in the front room… :roll_eyes:

Good job she can buy new ones tax free at Heathrow or Bic Camera in Tokyo. :wink: The later would be the best option price wise.

Apple Stores in Japan lost their right to sell duty free because they were found out to be on some fiddle or other.

She can get the wired ones for a tenner at Heathrow and make do. If she buys new Pro’s I’m seriously stealing her existing ones.

Not worried about what she could come back with :slight_smile:

It’s her skin so :man_shrugging:. That actually looks fab, but I bet fucking expensive.

And i suspect limited to the chop their finger off brigade.

I’d quite like a Hiroshige Mt Fuji backpiece,

Could never justify the cost of having it done properly of course.


This morning’s view.

Christ, in August?

Everything there involves spending vast amounts of money. It has no redeeming features.

Tourists have been arrested for swearing, shouting, rude gestures, public affection etc.

The only tourist things to do are behave yourself and spend money on modern invented attractions.
