    I just cannot get this link to open - I tried last night and again now. It takes ages and then goes to error. It does just not like me.

    Thanks to you both for confirming

    How strange. The link I posted was (and still is) the first hit when I Googled for "popinjay town crest". If you can get to the Skegness web page http://www.skegness.gov.uk there are links for the town crest and the Jolly Fisherman on the right hand side of the page.

    that one doesn't like me either. I'd googled for popinjay etc last night and couldn't get into the site then. Never mind
