Findochty?
Well done, Findochty it is !

That's all fine and dandy, but to get the point, you need to know how it's pronounced by the locals.....

Me, me! I know!

Yebbut no-one will understand your accent.

I just about kept my fishandchips down, but encountered a rider who didn't...

I had curry with half-and-half last year, to ensure more flavoursome sicky burps!

Continuing the harbour theme, where's this?

eck · « **Reply #2384 on:** 20 January, 2010, 09:13:51 pm »

Too easy.

Mrs eck's dad, who was a painter and decorator, has told me (many times) how he painted the hotel atop the cliff.

Salvatore · « **Reply #2385 on:** 20 January, 2010, 09:17:21 pm »

I thought you would know it.

eck · « **Reply #2386 on:** 20 January, 2010, 09:23:10 pm »

Another harbour:

Pingus, their immediate family and relatives are not eligible to enter this competition.

EDIT: Salvatore, I'll leave yours to give others a chance.

Port Patrick. Nice cycling country down there, that area needs an Audax !
On that recent snowy satalite photo of UK where the whole country was white, the stranraer peninsula was about the only bit with no snow !

You got it, JH.
I can't remember the name of the pub, but ISTR the Pingus being mighty pleased with the selection of beers on offer.

I'm most disappointed, that was possibly the only entry on this thread that I've ever recognised but seeing it for the first time this morning everyone else has already beaten me to it.

Oh well...

Pingu · « **Reply #2392 on:** 21 January, 2010, 06:59:24 pm »

Another harbour:

Clue: it's not on the Moray Firth

It's not Bastia I don't think, or Propriano...
