Yes, I know that this slide is out of focus, but that doesn't completely detract from this detract from the slide's interest.

Two things pique my interest :
1. Those Hairy Leg
2. The odd  cylinder on the car in the background.

My assumptions -

Your theories are welcome.

Have You Seen The Other Side?

This was from a box of slides markd as "Devon", and certainly it looks like Devon or Cornwall.  This is supported by the pub sign on the right, and it's mention of Plymouth.

However, I'm be fascinated to know where.

Alas, I cannot make out the name of teh pub, and the sign on the lefts says "Have You Seen The Other Side?".

Googling doesn't help much.

Any suggestions?

His name?  -  Unknown.

But from this slide, we know that he's a lover, not a fighter.   A ducker, not a diver.

A man who steadfast in his beliefs, but willing to show his tender side.  A man who can crack walnuts between his butt-cheeks, but who can whip up an omelette using only vegan ingredients.
