"You can do a lot of things at the seaside
That you can't do in town:
Fancy seeing mother with her legs all bare
Paddling in the fountains in Trafalgar Square:
Bobbing up and down in the water
'Twould make the policemen frown:
You can do a lot of things at the seaside
That you can'do in town."
(Music-hall song)

And that is good reason for Thamesford's No. 1 Task Force to put into force Operation 'Beach' one Bank Holiday, ready to deal with any eventuality...
