Loved this. I will not play the final link though as it will be in my head all day π. (Although just seeing their names made me sing βrabbit, rabbit, rabbitβ in my head...)
Oh what a lovely lot of inspired connections Claire. πΊ I really must take out that NOW TV subscription. π€ Nothing will inspire me to watch Chas and Dave though.... π
My parents used to take us to Margate. It had a nice beach and a great funfair (Dreamland). I went there a few years ago to visit a friend, and it was really run down: mostly boarded up, so it's good to hear that there is some redevelopment going on.
Are you familiar with the Tommy Cooper joke?
I went to Margate for the summer season. A friend of mine told me it was good for rheumatism, so I went there and I got it. π
I loved reading this! I have fond memories of going to Margate in the late eighties/early nineties for a trip to Dreamland with my sister and mates. Also, I've had Last Orders on my shelves for....oh.... twenty years at least! Still unread!

No, I wasnβt expecting that scene!! π
Such wonderful and satisfying connections, Claire! We loved Empire of Light and the Larkin poem. Xx
