It's a warning to the bag handlers.
Do you think it makes a lot of difference to them if it is slightly
under the limit and not slightly over? Either way, it would be could too
be safe.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
