Shady corner

Another shady corner for a hot day, this one at the eastern end of the car park at Bembridge Lifeboat. Impressive looking lifeboat and fine views from the walkway to it.

Also an opportunity to visit the Lifeboat View Café. A place where we have taken excellent crab sandwiches in the past but where, on this occasion, we took tea and toasted tea cake. A place which sports, for waiting at table, young men in shorts as well as young ladies in short skirts. But then it is the Range Rover side of the island and you do get to hear the odd Surrey accent.

No web site, but it does manage a Facebook page. No link provided, in order to maintain solidarity with reference 1. Helped along by a recent report that 'Mark Zuckerberg has once again found himself at the centre of a row, after saying posts from Holocaust deniers should be allowed on Facebook'. Another very rich IT guy who is a bit short on talent for public relations. But a bit long on talent in his eye for the bottom line, with another report claiming that the Facebook censors are very slow to take down inappropriate material posted by big advertisers; in part because inappropriate material generates lots of clicks, in part because they don't want to upset said advertisers, that is to say the people who pay the rent. Unlike the rest of us, the little people.
