Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube-Men in Felixstowe
There's a pair of Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube-Men in Felixstowe, Suffolk.
Our friend Sophia Cook spotted these two Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube-Men on a recent trip to Felixstowe.
I don't often need another reason to visit Felixstowe - it's probably our most visited seaside - but now I have two! I'm looking forward to finding these airdancers later this summer.

Inflatable advertising in Bredbury, Stockport
A piece of inflatable advertising in Stockport.
Last year I spotted a piece of inflatable advertising at the Super Shine Hand Car Wash in Bredbury, Stockport. On a recent drive to Hyde I noticed that the red and yellow inflatable character had changed to a blue and white one!
While it's not an airdancer (aka a 'wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube-man' - my favourite type of inflatable advertising) it's still fun to see it flagging down passing drivers to get their cars cleaned.
