- Yes, Cleveden - that was it. It was a really hot day, the only place to cool down was the floor in a branch of Safeway or Somerfields - one of those two. The beach under the pier looked like mud, which was close enough to me - then it was back for another rest on the supermarket floor.
Yes, a section of that part of the coast is very muddy. Plus you have to pay to even enter the old pier at Clevedon! |

| I don't remember paying to get on the pier. It's quite possible I simply refused to entertain their demand for money. |

I've been to Clevedon twice and didn't venture onto the pier either time for that very reason! |

| I didn't realise free piers were the default. You have to pay to go on Southend pier.

| I believe all of Blackpool's piers are free as I've wandered casually onto them in the past, and Weston-super-Mare too. I don't want to have to pay for something I might only be on/in for 10 minutes if there's not much else to do or see on there! |

Me three. The irony of flying over Iceland and Greenland to get to Florida. But that was when there was that volcanic ash cloud and we got diverted over yonder. |
