Odd One Out.

Today we have a little game for you all. See if you can guess which of the four pictures is the odd one out. The prize on offer is the knowledge that you are taking notice of what is going on in Adur, and how little useful information is actually printed in our local rag.

Here we go......
Clicky = Biggy







Did you spot the odd one out?

Well, I can reveal that the odd one out is number four, all the others show our Chairman Mendacious Mikey opening things that were already open before he performed the role of ceremonial scissor monkey, whereas number four is him pretending to open something that despite a desperate need for it, is still not open.

In case you were wondering the others are:

1. The opening of Lloyds bank in Shoreham which has been there for bloody years (as long as I can remember anyway). If you look closely, the other fella appears to be sticking his tongue out at Mendozy.

2. The official opening of Southwick beach, which has been there for thousands if not millions of years. The cover story seemed to focus more on the café nearby than the beach itself.

3. The opening of "House of Beauty" in Southwick which was covered in the Harald when it opened in March, despite this photo being taken at the opening ceremony in September.

I'm starting to think that there might be a bit of "free advertising" going on here and wondering whether there may be a few freebies on offer in exchange......

Anyway back to counting.

4. The opening of the new Footbridge, this was only opened to him, the rest of Shoreham have to make do with a bus replacement service. I did notice the other day, that the number 2 bus, has that stop listed as "Shoreham F/Bridge", which is useful, as it won't need to be updated as it could be referring to "Footbridge" as everyone in Shoreham will call it, "Ferry Bridge" as the council think we will refer to it, or "That F*cking Bridge" as I have heard it called by people waiting at the bus stop by Coronation Green.

Did you get it right? Well done if you did.

As an aside, I was having a chat with an elderly neighbour the other day, and he was telling me all about the problems he was having opening his bowels. I suggested that he should get in touch with Mendoza and ask him if he would come round and cut a ribbon to help open them.

Take care, and no prisoners
