Once again this is home-ground for me. Lovely details that bring it all back (excuse the pun), especially "the louring ghosts of undigested breakfasts". Excellent. I never took the ferry to Isle of Man but I did visit New Brighton, another long neglected seaside resort. I also still shudder to remember that same pale pasty sweat of a long rough trip on the ferry to Jersey. "I wanna hold your hand" was the first record I ever owned.
