Interesting shot, Axel. I bet you don't know how "posh" as a word was coined!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Ohhh, a nice one this is! I personally would have cropped off just before the cafe on the distance, but this image as it is works as well.

Lets try 'Port Out, Starboard Home'.

It refers to the golden age of sea travel for those who could afford to pay extra for a cabin on the 'cool' side of the ship when travelling around Africa and on to India and the far east. This was of course in the days before air conditioning made such arrangments unneccessary.
I wish .....

And also there's this addition about it:

"More likely from slang posh "a dandy" (1890), from thieves' slang meaning "money" (1830), originally "coin of small value, halfpenny," possibly from Romany posh "half."
(taken from www.dictionary.com)

Different and interesting shot!
