Golden Brown, Sets in the West

The sun that is, not the song by The Stranglers from 1982:

There was a “humorous” version of this used in the telly series “The League of Gentlemen” using the lyric “Gordon Brown taxes the poor”.

And another Golden Brown thing is a sand-dune, and by no coincidence at all that’s exactly what we’re going to do now. A short drive up the coast to Ynys Las and a walk round the sand dunes and the RSPB site. Lovely :- )

Cheers, Tom.

WOW!
Right that's it I'm moving to tehwateneyho or how ever you spell it!
It's on the pacific coast.
Boffins will remember it from The Shawshank Redemption.
Yes I am a minor film boffin. me = minor not the films I boffin about!
And yes I have tried to get the spelling for it from film subtitles :oops:

The West is the best :-)

That is a lovely spot at the end of Shawshank. Mexico, isn't it?

Cheers, Doll. That one did turn out OK. I've just taken 600 pics in sand dunes, so I'll be going through those later.

Great song by "The Stranglers".

I nearly missed this - I misread the title as Gordon Brown and ignored it the first few times!!!! *note to self* "clean your glasses or open your eyes!"

Thanks :-)

I'll post a couple of Ynys Las pictures tomorrow. I took over 500, so hopefully there should be at least a couple of OK ones.
