Tourism as we know it...
Well, guess what? I have been accepted!
This is it...
Tourism, as you all know it is dead! I am going to turn it upside down!
I'm thinking about suggesting some giant patio heaters to cover the whole of Tees Valley.
Within a few months this stretch of the North Sea will turn totally tropical.
Palm trees, Bougainvillea and Cacti will be planted along the coast.
I will ask my friends in Algeria to send me 200 hundred Camels...
Why, Cream? You haven't started smoking again, have you?
No, I haven't, man... It's real camels that I need...
Beau Geste stuff and all that Saharan Jazz!
The next stage will be the building of a Disney-style park on the outskirts of Middlesbrough where local delicacies will be on offer to American tourists...
Whelk burgers and fries, Giant fish and chips and Yorkshire Puddings filled with T-bone steak and maple syrup, etc...
Have a nice day, chuck!
Andy Capp will be our local mascot and mother-law jokes will be included in the Charter...
Now, I would like my Blogging friends to come up with SUGGESTIONS that I can put to our Chairman next week...
Don't be shy, now! Anything will be considered except a DOME ...
(Trac, you can keep yours!)

I screamed and guess what?

Trac, you're not gonna believe this! I have a life size card board cutout of the King at one of our restaurants. I shall take a photo of it!
Thanks about the job!
The King has lived up there for the last 3 years!
I got him and Marilyn Monroe (She lives on another balcony) from a shop in Edinburgh...
Can you imagine carrying them along Princes St!
Wolf whistles and people stopping me to ask where I got them from!
No dome, eh? How about a good pyramid? Nobody's building those anymore...
Yes, how did you manage to keep quiet about the Giant Elvis?
Geordie/English bilingual signs would give the place a real sense of regional identity, just like Wales really. Mind you, it doesn't really work for Wales, does it, no-one wants to go there.
Viking, What a great idea!
I'll see if I can sell the pyramid theme to my Chairman!
Kitty, I honestly forgot that I had a cardboard cut of Elvis until Trac mentioned it!
Bloody good idea, the signs but if they haven't worked for Wales, I have a feeling they won't work for the Tees Valley especially that Middlesbrough people can't stand being called Geordies!
Christine, I am delighted to put a smile on your face!
Thanks, Penny!
Can't they? Oh dear! I'm sure I've upset lots of people in my time then!!
Can't wait for global warming eh?
I like the camel angle. That way every day can be hump-day.
Get out your Foreign Legionaire costume and have a Humphrey Bogart cut-out beside the piano.
Play it again Sam burgers with a hill of beans as a side plate..
Well, Kitty, it's definitely true! But don't worry! You being Swiss-French-Russian will be forgiven!
Caro, living in hope!
H.E. Humping Bogart couldn't stand still for as long as Elvis!
Congratulations cream! I am sure tourism will be never be the same w/your creative mind.
It's true she likes her typography! you have to watch your p's and q's with Trac around! What about a huge Poo tit bum bum?
Sorry I couldn't offer anything more construtive!
Thanks, Mary! I just hope I can contribute a little bit.
Tat, a huge PTB might end up resembling a Dome and we really aren't into Domes...
Trac, I will mind my PTB's when you tell me why I didn't get a chocolate like Wendz!
not allowing comments on your new post?.....
or is it just Blogger again?
KG, that's the problem with languages! You think you've learnt one and then you forget about all the local accents!
Wendz, I am certain you are!
Lettuce, my own doing because the new post is just a continuation of this one! For once, Blogger is not guilty!
Congrats, Cream! I'm sure you will come up with more than a few ingenious ideas!
whohoo! I know where I'll be spending my next vacation then..!
:-)
Guess what...On the mint chocolates we give out, it says "A mint of a restaurant!"
Must've been pissed when I thought of it...
I thought the ending might be a bit too gory but I'm glad you like it...
And Scary Fairy scares me, too!:o)
Thanks, Janet... I hope I can!
Hobbes, there's nothing like your part of the Caribbean, I can assure you!
That is - no was - a very strange and not very mouse-like mouse.
You already have llamas on Roseberry Topping. I didn't think things could get better than that.
I'd best get myself back up there before this hidden gem becomes internationally famous and full of tourists
