Or a large HGV could accidentally back into it. 

Or a JCB could accidentally swing into it... didn't that happen in Castletown a few years back?

Or the cliff will fall on it again.  I'm suprised that's not the most pressing matter to be honest.

A cliff at Newson's?

Err, I thought we had segway'd onto the old Cafe at the end of Laxey Prom?

Is Newson's no longer being demolished?

Sorry, we do tend to go off on a tangent!  Must pay more attention.

There wasn't a man in Oakengates
That hadn't got hold of the tale,
And over the valley in Ironbridge,
And round by Coalbrookdale,
How Captain Webb the Dawley man,
Captain Webb from Dawley,
Rose rigid and dead from the old canal
That carries the bricks to Lawley.”

You've earwormed me now, so you too must suffer:

(Why do people think of Betjeman as a jolly poet?  No writer in the 20th century is more obsessed with death and decay: "In Highgate now his finger-bones/Stick through his finger-ends").
