How Rare !

Mrs Dorothy McSpleen illustrating the unique "Sloping Horizon" off the coast of Clacton.

The Phenomenon appeared in 1827, apparently after the local minister The Very Rev Cuthbert FitzHugh was found in a...compromising position...in the vestry with the verger.  On his funeral pyre, Cuthbert cursed Clacton's Haddock Fishing Boats  with an uphill final stretch to get to the harbour.

The slope was being reduced using money from the European Union, bit ... well,   Brexit Bonus.

Bonus.
