Left hand down a bit
This gull appears to be giving steering instructions to the chap at the tiller. Made me smile when I saw it. The title will be known well by Brits of a certain age and refers to a hugely popular radio comedy from the 60’s called ‘The Navy Lark’. It still runs today, repeated endlessly on various channels because it was so good. And yes, I still listen. I know the scripts word for word and still laugh. Even the words ‘left hand down a bit’ make me smile quietly to myself, remembering happy times.

It looks a bit like Cornwall.
It looks a lot like Cornwall. It’s Looe.
It reminded me a bit of Ilfracombe. Never been to Looe though.
I can understand why you think that. I love that part of the coast too. Combe Martin holds a special place in my heart.
I remember listening to The Navy Lark every Sunday.
I still listen to it on Radio 4 Extra along with Round the Horne and Hancock’s Half-Hour. Absolute magic.
Round the Horne was my all-time favorite! Kenneth Williams was hilarious!
Mine too. It’s predecessor Beyond Our Ken was absolutely outrageous for its day. I have no idea how they got away with it. I agree about Kenneth Williams. A comedy genius.
