This write is set around Stan and Ollies, antics while they stayed at the Chine hotel in Boscombe a suberb of Bournemouth Dorset U K, I have Been a guest there myself, on a few occasions,when I stayed it had a faded elegance' yet so clean with such Great service, it still has.? Or had' the old metal framed lifts 'the ones You can see through' I am informed it was in a closed state last year and Maybe being used 'for asylum seekers?' Which i find really sad, I hope it Will be resurrected? It was owned by the Butterworth family, I would guess For decades, such character could be felt throughout its rooms.' Maybe I will return one day? And find its being appreciated again? May God bless, all readers.!

Oliver often scolded Hardy, on a point of which he was
Never tardy.!
They had to have 'their daily fix' if not hourly? They were like two cats on
Hot bricks!
Their made up mayhem, garnered them gold, it was their milk and honey
A hit; 'they sold.'
Rich and famous, through their tears and quarrels, old Hardys kicks Stanley, made into Laurels!
The crowds, they grew' they travelled far! They lodged at the 'Chine hotel'
They fooled round its bar!
Yet did they take that 'new years swim?' As daybreak comes' as the waves
Roll in !
That hearty English breakfast, taken soon after.' Would sure have got Them ready; to raise some rafters.!!

My favorite pare, pure comedy! I did not know this about their English stay. Hardy also had a marvelous voice. They were so talented...and human I suspect. I will try to find out more about this historic hotel you mention. Your write is flawless, respectful and beautiful -- you get a favorite from me, brother Joe!

So glad to recieve your comment Joe, they really were outstanding Artists and no doubt they were Tactile..I may just write John Butterworth? And complement him on his buisness manner I Did a quick check, and in 2017 The date of an article on the Chine, it states John Butterworth Was closing it over winter time So it might be rumour about asylum seekers using it..' I think I will book a room there this summer if its still openinng.? For Old times sake.!

Stan and Ollie, Bud and Lou. One of the reasons why it was the golden age of television. I enjoyed this much, Joe.
