Photo from the top of the Forth Bridge's north tower, looking south, over the calm, grey water of the Forth estuary towards South Queensferry. The bridge is a bright red-oxide-coloured metal, with hundreds of interconnected massive beams and millions of rivets, all carrying the rail tracks below. The shape of the assembled beams form an arrowhead pointing up in the image (towards an overcast sky) and southwards geographically.
A photo of musicians, Boo Hewerdine, Kirsten Adamson, John Douglas and Eddi Reader, on a stage inside a converted 19th-century, Scottish church. Eddi's standing, singing over John's shoulder, while the other three are seated.
6/10 American take on British Classic Straight away the Americans don't understand British humour You don't mess with a classic Didn't find any of the film remotely funny For a start there was no Sid James Kenneth Williams or Barbara Windsor and I didn't here any innuendos at all To be honest it's probably the worst out of all the Carry On films made If they would have promoted it as a action thriller I think it would have had more success Overall though I quite liked it but please Americans leave the comedy to people with a sense of humour like the British They probably could have saved it if they would have had Barbara Windsors Bra flying off at the end and someone saying" matron" occasionally.
