"Oh Crystal Ball, Crystal Ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful."

"Life is beautiful but tell me when it's going to stop raining" said the Essex Skipper. "We Essex girls hate getting our Barnet wet, I've even got a droplet on one of me mincers. Take a butcher's at my boat race. I look an Eliot Ness." :( 

PS AJC has kindly pointed out that this is a small skipper, not an Essex skipper.
