If you break it open does it say Penarth. Beautiful colours.

Well I never: I have a piece of pink Penarth alabaster on my shelf. (I used to go out with a boy who lived there when I was a student, and as a geologist, couldn't resist keeping a specimen - the rock, not the boy.)

Aah - happy days of sun, sea, too much Brains, and youthful irresponsibility...

  Ah Brains... SA or Dark?
  
  There's not as much of that nice alabaster around these days, except in people's gardens...

    Probably SA: but I was too drunk to remember ...
    
    It was only about 13p a pint though - which was good.

      Careful now: 13p a pint for Skull Attack gives your age away...

        At least I can remember the price after we went decimal (just!)
        
        But I know you are a real gent - and won't draw undue attention to this lady's age...

    "Oh yes, lots... there was me for a start! "
    Once my ex-OH and I went on a 'dinasaur/fossil walk at Penarth and were only unaccompanied adults!
    
    I have lovely pink piece of alabaster as door stop -taken in the days before everyone was nicking rocks!
    Also have lovely rock with fossil.

      I seem to remember reading about your fossil walk...
      
      It's about a grand a rock now if you get nicked 'borrowing' a rock from the beach!
