Re: Some facts please
I remember post cards on the Isle of Wight on my first visit there in the early 60's promoting places on the Island 'RYDE' Where you have to walk, 'Newport' That you can not bottle, 'Cowes' That you can not milk, 'Needles' That you can not thread and 'Freshwater' That you can not drink.
