Portobello Beach Edinburgh Day 217

On the morning that the BBC promulgates its class survey results this poster caught my eye. Of course all residents of Porty and Joppa already know how posh * we are. Lovely to have propaganda on bus stops reinforcing our view!

The view of the rising sun this morning was inspirational. The sea flat calm. It was almost safe to start thinking about a beach barbecue and a refreshing lager .....

* The acronym "POSH" was originally chalked on the travel trunks of the wealthiest P and O line passengers travelling to the far flung parts of the former British Empire. Port Out. Starboard Home. Their expensive cabins were on the cooler shady side of the ship on both voyages.
