We had the visit this weekend of Cardiff Canton Songsters (Choir). They did a concert on Saturday night and led worship at our church on Sunday. At the same time Worthing Band visited Southport Corps down the road.
A couple of years ago I was invited to go with Blackpool band to Worthing, to help them out for the weekend. Before the Saturday night concert myself and a couple of the lads went for a walk on Worthing promenade. One of the Blackpool lads said to me "What's that funny smell". I must admit I didn't recognise it (but it was unusual).
"That's the smell of donkeys" he said. And he was right, on the beach was a couple of donkeys giving rides to kids.
Now that's a specific, unusual skill, to recognise the smell of donkey mess. And can only be possessed by someone who lives in Blackpool. (not Southport, they don't have common donkeys in Southport its a bit posher there)
I don't know what smell I would have recognised, a lad from Liverpool, but it definitely wasn't donkeys.

No comment about what smell a lad from Liverpool would easily recognise, but they do have donkeys in Ainsdale. I know...we've been on them! It's a long summer in Southport!! (and we love it)
