Jolly News For the Fisherman..So it seems

There is always more sides to a story and Jolly Fisherman seems to be a very complex one to be Honest.
To really understand we need to take the whole meeting into consideration before we tackle how Mr Jolly came to this point in his over 100 years life he was always the idle that people used to the symbolise they are really on Holiday. 
Right now the council are in the process of moving over to a new location, this is at a time where contractors who were working on the new Community Building on tower park have had a hard to relaying extra costs between council members because of lack of communication between the councils main computer and the ones at the new site. The staff clearly state the reason they cannot connect remotely to main computer is because they are not using an upto date apperating system like windows 10. It seems the main talking guy seems like he has be reluctant to upgrade for a while and doesn't seem to respond with the answers to most positive questions asked. And would try talk around the issues and not how to resolve them.
I figured that maybe the issue is between undervaluating the Commity centre and the fact the promotional company dumping the council the Jolly Fisherman during this very busy time and they didn't know how to budget or even get the Jolly Fisherman insured quick enough to be able to have it used in the public,  so just for the sake of the new overwhelming demand from the public and TV, they agreed to least Jolly over to a lady who already had a strong connection with the first man who wore the Jolly Fisherman costume.  And was already insured and had the means to have the costume worn. 
Temporarily.
Apparently the phones have been overwhelming including many offers to sponsor and save Skegs mascot from walking the plank.
It may take a while for the council accepting any offer because of the emense public demand. 
And with the lack of communication between incompatible computer operation systems that is no fault of the new site staff. But the out of date Operating system of the main computer that is used to authorise most information as I said earlier. There was also a talk regarding the Corona Virus,  and the risk that could cause all of the staff being locked out of the main computer if the head of the council were to get I'll and die. There was one man who suggested that there be a solid state form with information so that the staff would still be able to get paid. But the head said they would still get paid by rebooting a payment process that will make sure the staff will get their money if they are locked out main computer.
That guy who asked the right questions should be in the seat at the top. He is so wise.
I hope you all liked my news, Forgive me if I go into too much detail but my only way to understand things is to see the faces and emotions of the talker and take everything as a whole to form an way of understanding that I can understand. 
Please follow my  log and thank you for reading.

Jolly Fisherman is at risk

The Jolly Fisherman as always been the first icon we expect to see when we get off the train.
This would symbolise that we really are here. 
Walking whilst dragging his case on wheel pulled by a leather belt.
This would give me the impression that he was a very resourceful man full of innovation and the fact the he walks with a  bucket and spade symbolised he loved these old seaside traditions. 
He shows that even though hard working people can also take a break and head to the beach. 
He shows us that the real treasure of happiness is not in spending but the fact that it has no cost.
It's about what you do when you are there.
We've seen him running and jumping and embracing the Norwegian mountain air as it blows into his face, "Its not cold its fresh.
The bucket and spade represents that he is still a child at heart.
I understand that we have the modern times to think about, but Skegness is about traditions that have been strong for over 100 years.
Maybe the reason for them ending Jolly Fisherman is because he promoted the part of the holiday that is free, No profit. 
So now there promotion tactics are now focused  on enticing more spending and and change the way people thinking when they get here.
But as people walk to the beach, they can easily blow there daily allowance on a little gamble, like money down the drain before they see things that would buy if they had the money.
There is a meeting at the town hall at 7pm regarding the fate of The Jolly Fisherman. 
People say we have too many chip shops, but when we are busy, and seats are filled, people will always try the chips at the small chip shops.
The Corona Virus may cause a huge drop in the people who normally went abroad and could cause a huge wave of people going to Skegness, away from the cities. 
So buckle up, and get ready for the flood of customers and be prepared so you don't run out of foods.
I have a feeling the pound shops will be showings signs of struggle when they stop getting cheap products made in China.
And other businesses. 

Here I have a post that was sent from 
some lady called Ada, And in her message she wrote "Having a Jolly Time"
That word Jolly is the word used to Express how you feel when in Skegness.

Heatwaves and Stormy Days

This morning we had an epic thunderstorm with epic thundery clatters that just poured down like a waterfall over Skegness,
No place for the water to go

Skegness Drain over worked
 This image above was taken hours later and still the drain is suffering to clear its throat.

Also i talked to some holiday makers in town and they said they have seen water gushing out of the grounds too.


And here is still what is to come
Combined these events with the heatwave flowing from Africa and ya got a Recipe for weather like nothing that the UK is used to.
As long as we don't have a down pour like earlier this morning then we will be fine.

If you combined the tail of this storm with the heat wave that is flowing towards the tail and the suns heat of the day, then ya got the raising moisture that could feed the tail of this storm as the weekend rolls in.
Campers beware! 
The heat wave is an instant hit as even in the shadows its un avoidable and with sudden weather changes, I recommend being careful.
