Good Day Sunshine

You can buy these 'Will Patrons Kindly Refrain' tea towels here

It's just too sunny to be pretending to work or blogging (not strictly in that order) - so how about a trip to the beach?..

But watch out for broken glass..



Make sure you're a strong swimmer..


In case these two are around..


There's a medley of latin lovelies on the other side if you fancy a peep.

Skylarking and general horseplay they sound like CB 'handles'

That poster was in literally every swimming pool in the country in the 70s and 80s. Fantastic.

I remember asking my mum, innocently, why there wasn't also a cartoon depiction of someone taking a crap or slash in the pool, as presumably that was frowned upon too. She had no answer.

Uuugghh - my local pool was always peppered with corn plasters. And as if anone would actually strike up a gasper in the shallow end? Surely the ciggies and Swan Vesta's would go all soggy.

You should be able to get repros of this poster here or here - (be great for the bathroom)

Our local swimming baths still has that poster up all aound the place. When I was wee, I was never really sure what "petting" was. I'm still not.

"Teenagers Learn To Swim" is my favourite ever animated PIF. Again, it was years before I understood what he meant by, "I wish I didn't keep losin' me birds". I couldn't work out why the fairy godmother didn't just magic him up a birdcage. Doh!

My fave live PIF was "Children Watch Us Cross" - a 2 minute epic complete with superfuzzbigmuff guitar soundtrack. "If anybody had done that when he was driving, he'd have done his nut!". Classic.

Sky you're a star I'm a terror for a PIF but don't think I've ever seen 'Children Watch Us Cross' - I'll have to track it down

'Meet The Blunders' are personal faves

I wonder if having a smoke in the pool was perhaps a post 'heavy petting' ciggie

Love that tea-towel mondo, you picked one up?

I remember that poster well, yet it seemed to make not one jot of difference. They should have had 'no pissing' on it too!

You'll ruin your eyes.
