Beachbummer

[joan]

 Have been going to SS for 27 yrs, always go to the far end of the beach by the hut as usually quieter there. Never have had any problems there until today.
The small section of sunbeds 13 umbrellas in total have only been there for two years.
We got set up near the waters edge at least 25 - 30 metre from the nearest bed.
To our surprise he came over and told us to move as we were spoiling the Vista for his paying clients!!!!
After much discussion we made it very clear that the beach is a public place and we can sit where we choose. He admitted that it was a public beach so he could not stop us. I offered the services of the local constabulary but he definitely declined,he backed off when he knew he couldn't win.
Looking forward to round 2 tomorrow

Yes, we were there in July, on those beds and we saw him do that a couple of times, thought it a bit odd. We would also have questioned him, if that had happened to us, it is a public beach, no one is questioned when they put their towels down at the top end of the beach.

[maggiesaes]

He won't get much change from the regulars will he,they all know the ropes.

That's the end we like, just beyond Steptoe and Son overgrown holiday shack. Will find out over the weekend when we arrive

[joan]

Well I am a bit more informed today about him. He's a self important prat. We wondered if had done in the past to others.
We should all flash mob him that would give him something worry about.

We shall not be moved

[maggiesaes]

Good on yer!
I shall keep my out for him when I go and be ready.

Yes Maggie he's just an idiot. We went down today and not a peep out of him. Other came later and put their things down nearby and not a word. He was too busy nattering to his cronies.
Garysam the shack is still there and now has a green coloured roof. It does seem a little more cared for now. Hope you have a good flight out. Weather has been very hot
a bit more breezy today.  We keep hearing reports of a storm coming but who knows. We brits always have our brollies .

[maggiesaes]

Sounds as though he has learned his lesson.

We're not really beach people, but whilst we're here we're going to go down there one day to see if we can spot this obnoxious character!

Could someone pass this on on the other SS facebook site.

Mad greec
Perhaps more people will see this and may be here too.
He'll be sorry that he's ever opened his mouth.

I assume he has a licence to be there? As I said, we used these beds a couple of times.

[maggiesaes]

I am surprised they haven't ganged up on him if he is unlicensed.
