It was fabulous.
But something a little more modern with Mr Punch HERE

Brighton Beach Memoirs by Neil Simon. Only thing I ever read by him.

From on up the coast at Ramsgate...46-year-old memories of the wildest "carnival ride" of my lifetime. Taking this new fangled thing called a hovercraft across a very choppy channel.
