Three Blackpool Pepperpots


The Monty Python team seemed to have come up with the "pepperpot" name, referring to the "little old wifeys" dressed up in the strange long heavy tweedy coats that seem to have disappeared nowadays.

And here we have three of them, enjoying a grim day out at Blackpool, the Las Vegas of Lancashire. Thick wool coats,  mackintoshes, flat caps and grey overcast weather. But what....no whippets ?

On the pier are adverts for a few performers - Modley, Don Arrol and Julian Jorg.  Forgotten names them all, but what's this - a quick Google throws up this eBay sale. Spooky or what?

Bonus - For all you iPhone users...
