erm we call it - 'going to the beach' or 'going down to the beach' maybe 'going to the seaside' where we will claim our territory with a tartan rug, erect windbreaks and don our swimming costumes to go paddling and eat gritty sarnies... _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

So what do the British call going to the beach? In New Jersey we say “going down the shore”. In Maryland that say “going down the ocean”. Both a regional thing. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

They are out there. This one is $60.
Www.Seatosummit.com search air chair.
I'm sure there are others and cheaper too. _________________ Prosit!
