War

A bit further on from Pagham we came to Selsey Bill, which sported a handsome beach, a car park and a handy snackavan, staffed by two pleasant emigrants from the Home Counties. They could manage hot pies, albeit not two of the same variety.

But the handsome beach was being disturbed by digger, wagon and sundry workmen. It seems that a clutch of bungalows backing onto the beach had taken the council to law over a public path which had been put on their land ten years previously, a public path which encouraged the smelly public, particularly the undesirable sort that use snackavans, to peer into their back gardens, disturbing the privacy of their goings on.

Presumably the bungalows were owned by the sort of people who lived at reference 1.

Presumably also, the whole business had been the occasion of massive correspondence in the local papers.
