Fake 114

While reading the article in the FT mentioned at the end of reference 4, I thought to ask Google maps about a place called Mendocino in California, a small coastal town a couple of hundred kilometres north of San Francisco. Once a lumber town for this last.

Which turned up these buildings on Main Street. Which I thought fair to score as fakes on account of their brass.

Here in Epsom, suburban garages often sport little parapets in front to cover up the corrugated asbestos (or whatever) behind and buildings in town often sport little parapets to cover up the fact that there are pitched roofs behind. Something, it seems, that one was once ashamed of, despite pitched roofs being much better at keeping the weather out - which is, after all, the point of a roof in our climate - than flat ones. Nevertheless, deceptions rarely carried through with the brass of these two. 

Perhaps I need a more careful look around Bognor Regis before passing judgement. But visits there presently on the back burner. Hopefully the lobster spot will still be there when we get back. For which see references 3 and 4.
