Oh we do like to be beside the seaside

James Gibson

The British take more than 25 million trips to the seaside every year. The use of type reflects typical seaside advertising and postcard style. The words are the first line of the famous British music hall song:(1909)
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
I do like to be beside the sea,
I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom,
Where the brassbands play
Tiddley-om-pom-pom!
