A Classic Seaside Mishap: A Man's Surprising Dismount from a Recalcitrant Donkey! (circa 20th century) This delightful comic postcard captures the quintessential British seaside holiday experience, filled with laughter, sunshine, and a healthy dose of the unexpected! The scene unfolds on a sun-kissed beach, where a man in a striped blazer and stripy trousers, looking rather dapper for a day at the seaside, is taking a donkey ride. However, the donkey seems to have other plans, and with a sudden kick, sends its unsuspecting passenger flying off its back in a shocking display of equine agility! The man's expression of disbelief and astonishment is priceless, as he lands with a thud in the sand, surrounded by onlookers who can't help but chuckle at the hilarious turn of events. The donkey, seemingly unperturbed by the commotion, stands there, as if daring the man to get back on. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the iconic Donald McGill seaside humour, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British seaside holiday and the endless source of amusement that the simple pleasures of the sea, sand, and donkeys can bring. So, the next time you find yourself at the beach, keep an eye out for those mischievous donkeys – you never know when you might become the star of the next classic seaside mishap!
