COD & SHIPS
All
aboard for a virtual cruise, with hilarious on-board entertainment delivered
personally by Sid Kipper, "the rural equivalent of a city slicker".
Sit
back and enjoy the view as Sid illuminates the voyage with songs, stories,
sayings and shanties.
Hear
about mermaids, mutiny, maroonings and mackerel.
Join in the
choruses of 'The Mild Rover' and 'The Shoals Of Whiting', and hear the stories
of Robinson Caruso and 'Keelhaul' Kipper,
all the while enjoying a delicious bottle of Happisburgh Light.
Step
ashore and view the strange dress and outlandish antics of the natives of
Cromer.
Sail over the drowned village of Understrand.
Travel through time to the days of sail, when Playbouy was a dubious
magazine, full of pictures of bare boats' bottoms.
Let your worries drift away until, fully refreshed, we end up in the
Wash.
There
will be revelations.
Like why herring were called 'silver darlings' (on account of their
colouring, and affectionate nature).
How Horatio Soupblower became the hero of Happisburgh.
And when to go about catching the skate to make skate-boards.
Duty-free
souvenirs will be available, as Sid shakes a pinch of salt, a dash of vinegar,
and a touch of sauce on the finest fillets of his maritime repertoire, and
offers a Kipper's eye view of his native coast.
"Sid
Kipper is attracting deserved rations of adoration, as he continues to ask fresh
followers where they've been this last decade or so."
