Transcript Phil & Louise – The owners of a seafront B&B

[Phil]: Spring tide, neap tide. The tide that comes in around the end of October which is a very high tide because the moon’s in the right place and all the rest of it. I mean we’ve had it crashing against the sea wall. You can feel the house shaking.

[Louise]: Yes you can feel it vibrate.


[Phil]: And the sea is crashing against it, and running along the sea wall.

[Louise]: Right along the sea wall. It takes out the beach huts…


[Phil]: Extremely violent. At the north of the pier the beach huts have to be taken off.

[Louise]: Because otherwise they get smashed.

[Phil]: I’ve seen them. One year, in the sixteen years I’ve lived here, I saw they didn’t take them off and there was a high tide, I don’t know if it was a freak thing, but it ripped quite a few of them to pieces. It just smashes things to pieces.
