Every autumn we went to Blackpool to see the illuminations. We always stayed in a guesthouse on bed, breakfast and evening meal basis. This photo was taken by a photographer who visited guesthouses at meal times and took pictures then came back the next day with the prints in key rings, in cardboard frames and in funny little boxes which you had to hold up to the light to see the photo. This pose suggests I had just acquired a new Timex and I seem to remember that the little perspex box on the table held a magnetic beetle that you could drag across a newspaper and scare nanas. It's nice to see that the haircut in this pic was to become very fashionable a year later thanks to those lovely Ramones.
