Bernews extends our sympathies to this lady’s friends and family.
I notice that you write passer bys. Should that not be bies?
Shouldn’t it be “Passers by”? Like “Brothers in Law”…
It seems somewhat convoluted, so we cheated and switched to ‘members of the public’ to be on the safe side…
It’s passers by
Darrel’s Wharf is looking pretty ratty. Surely we could have had that painted before the tourist season started. Or are we just not even trying anymore?
