Nice picture whats the fishing like.

BruceS · 28 September 2005, 02:22 AM

Probably the only thing worth catching there are crabs. There are numerous crab pots hanging off this pier.....

Cheers,

Bloody hell Bruce crabs that a bit below the belt mate, must be fish there as well.

I knew you were going to say something like that

Uncle-AJ · 28 September 2005, 03:10 AM

I like the picture of the footbridge Bruce. It would have looked even better if there was a person, dog or something walking at the far end.

I agree. It needs a person or dog or something on the pier. I'll have to re-shoot it with a model. Reckon Elle would be available ???

Your pictures are great as always, Bruce; but greater still is the fact that you've started to repost on this forum.

Thanks for that,

JJ

Okay, just a question for you blokes from the UK - why do you refer to this as a footbridge? Is a bridge for cars referred to as a carbridge? For trains a trainbridge? Sorry, just something I've always wondered about (or at least since I read this post).

Thanks!

dman · 28 September 2005, 08:07 AM

Both pics are good but the black and white is WOW!!!

Very nice pal. I have asked you before, but are you sure you don't live in a forest?

Why do you call a pavement a sidewalk? I've never seen anyone walking on their side.

I think we may have covered this in Padi's recent post on the English language and I do emphasize English.

Well Al I would have thought it was perfectly obvious just by looking at the
bridge structure.So obviously not designed for cars or trains,but for walking
hence a footbridge.All others designed for cars trains etc we call a bridge,
or sometimes for trains a viaduct or if it carries a waterway a aqua duct.

BruceS · 29 September 2005, 02:16 AM

What if you were to traverse a footbridge by walking on your hands? Would it then be called a handbridge

I have much to learn about the UK.

29 September 2005, 02:24 AM

I'll join in on this hijacking...

We call it a sidewalk because it's a walk or path on the side of a road.

To our UK bruddas... why do English people say 'warsh' instead of wash?

Why do they call the TV a 'tele' when I would think a 'tele' could also be a phone?

BTW Bruce, awesome pix!

hands,walking on your feet, by bicycle or roller blade or skates,sorry its still only a footbridge

Thanks mate! btw, there are plenty of Americans that say "warsh" or otherwise add r to words. Just talk to a New Yorker!

Oh..and as far as I can tell, there's a shortened word for almost everything in "British" and they always end in y or ie :)

Sorry John but in my part of the country we say wash not warsh.As for the T.V short for Tele-vision,another great British invention, shorter again Tele, simple isn't it just like the English language.

I don't think we should mention "Pontoons" Peter............................so I won't.

Might confuse the colonials.

Don't even mention New Yorkers... that's a different planet altogether where they speak a number of dialects of some bizarre language.

Pontoons? You mean as in those used for a boat?

But it's not a footbridge. It's a dock - even though there are no boats tied up at this one. A bridge generally bridges a gap. A dock sticks out into the water and is a place for boats to tie up.

I vote for Ed's explanation!!

Thank goodness I didn't mention "Pontoons."

padi56 · 29 September 2005, 07:27 PM

If the wooden structure in the picture, dont span the the both banks of
the water,then yes it would be called a pier, or sometimes a jetty, or a landing jetty.
