We are approaching one of the cultural high-spots in the Bognor Regis season.
The Bognor Birdman
(Oh, I should qualify the event's title by adding the word 'International'.)
The scaffold construction, at the end of what's left of the pier, is the launch pad for anyone wanting to demonstrate their inability to soar like an eagle.
There's usually some form of philanthropic justification incentivising those about to plummet.
It does strike me a curious that, at any other time of year, jumping from the pier is discouraged by threats of prosecution:
Should I ever decide to take an active part in this event, it would be because I want to dress up as a giant chicken and still be able to wander about in public without the usual taunting and gratuitously savage beatings.
