Sign on this comfy bench outside a touristy dress shop on the waterfront reads
'For exclusive clients only'
Well, up Your nose with a rubber hose!
Keep your distance peasants. It's only for the snooty rich bottoms that are cruising on one of the gin palaces tied up opposite.
A more inviting corner
Table and chairs set up outside the butcher's shop in the back street near the Police Station
Spiro and Zoi's Butchers Shop
Poros Police car going up the very narrow backstreet to it's parking spot tucked away in a corner beneath a flight of steps.
Yes, it is one way
Poros Police Station on the left
They've even got a cell!
Ha, up your nose with a great big rubber 'ose...P used to say that a lot!
ReplyDeleteI would have sat on that snooty-bum seat and feigned ignorance 😁
One of my favourite sayings! Along with ye gods and little fishes
Delete😍
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't make it up.😄
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether they're serious or just joking. I'm not shopping or stopping there to find out
DeleteThe snobs can keep their posh seat. I think the butcher's corner looks so much more inviting and friendly :)
ReplyDeleteThe butcher is always friendly and wouldn't mind at all to share his outside corner
DeleteOh I can’t stand snobbery.
ReplyDeleteEven if I could afford their products I wouldn’t soil the bottom of my shoes going in there.
I’d much rather stay with the general populace
I was a bit surprised to see the sign on the seat. Are they serious? Like you, I'm not stopping to find out
DeleteIn photo No 2, I am fascinated by the painted floor. I've seen painting around flagstones in Greece, but this seems just decorative.
ReplyDeleteOften when sidewalks or yards are whitewashed at Easter they draw designs. Often it's just to represent false flagstones. They made this a bit more artistic. And it takes an artist to notice it. I didnt
DeleteIt seems that every corner and every narrow street has a special charm on your island, even if there are places reserved for distinguished guests, it is yours all the time.
ReplyDeleteExactly!! I love the narrow little side streets. I used to live up in the town and use these streets and passages to get down to the harbour. I don't often get into the backstreets now
DeleteIs that the butcher's shop with the restaurant? I suspect not or you would have mentioned it. I'd never find it again but remember a tour of such streets on our way to it.
ReplyDeleteThat taverns is not far away, just up past the Police station a bit. The butchers shop closed down years ago. They have 9 children who run the taverna now.
DeleteI think the shopping sign was somebody muddled with the English language. Great back streets. I like being able to take a car to as near to your door as possible.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was a simple mistake.
Deleteha. I haven't heard that expression in years, we use to add onto it "even further with a hamburger"
ReplyDeleteGood one!
