Visiting France?

[Sandyt]

Why, when France comes to you! View this morning from our bedroom window in République du Portsoy, Aberdeenshire!

The French did try unsuccessfully to land a bit further south in 1708. Have they succeeded this time?

It would certainly seem so. There are Gendarmes in the old harbour!

In 1797 they tried to invade Wales.

In 1797 the French invaded Wales - the world should know what happened next

France is loaning the UK the Bayeux Tapestry. Would they appreciate our depiction of the Battle of Fishguard?

Pls put this simple chap's curiosity to bed.
Are the pics a Photoshop joke, or has the area been Frenchied for a film set?

Unsurprisingly another failed French attempt.

So it's a film location 'dressed' historically for a re-enactment..........?

 

[emjaiuk]

I just want to know if they’re brandy or whiskey barrels

 

[Emmit]

It works the other way around.

I was watching an old film (was it yesterday?) "The foreman went to France"

In the last scene, purporting to be in France, I spied the tower at Portleven, Cornwall.
I think Adolf might have objected to Tommy Trinder filming in France in 1942.

The pics are NOT photoshopped! It has been turned into a film set, so "real (ish)"

Not really, dressed for a TV drama film set, about early 1930s gangsters, you may have heard of them!!

You could have pretended!

How do you they're not pretending and intending to be selfish?

Nope, before my time. The only Scottish ones I've heard of are much later: The The Fishy Two.

Peaky Blinders!

Peaky Blinders!

Still no idea who they were.
Just started snowing quite hard again here so with now't else to do I'll look 'em up on Wiki.

(Or as my granddad said when bumping into the local vicar who invited him to go to church: "I might just do that. It'll pass a half hour away".

We we’re late to the party, but the series are quite compulsive viewing. They are shooting series 6 here just now, which will be the last one, then there will be a film.
