The Disappearing Coastline of the UK

  Nature is taking her toll


At the end of my story, A Sailor's Love, one of the characters asks the young lady Jannine, if she wishes to join her and her sisters in the fight to protect the coast from erosion by the sea?
In the last month, there have been several reports, mainly along the Devon coast, about large areas of the coast falling into the sea. The reason is the coast there is mainly made of chalk, and is riddled with caves.
Further along the coast, in Kent, there is a village called Dunwhich which lost its two churches to coastal erosion centuries ago. Dunwich had the reputation for being one of the last "rotten boroughs" in the UK.
A rotten borough was a village which had not enough people to send two MPs to the House of Commons, but by an old agreement, made when they did have a lot of people there, the Lord of the manor retained the privilege. This practicw was repealed in the late 19th century.

What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..
