Oh to have been on Peter's lovely, uncrowded beach...

It seems most of the British holidaymakers were in Scarborough - when 
it's hot the promenade there has a prevading smell of sweaty armpits and 
used chip fat (frying oil). Shot with a moderate wide-angle (24mm)  so 
it really is that packed. Scarborough used to be a wonderful spa resort 
(so healthy that one of the Bronte sisters died in a hotel there) but is 
now the target of busloads of chip gorging shell-suit wearers (OMG, I'm 
getting a touch intolerant in my old age :-) ) who now put up tents on 
the sands - whatever happened to the old-fashioned stripy canvas windbreaks?
