You got it, @Richard. @Ron Nasty and I had a fun day trip to Bletchley Park a few years ago.
It’s a very interesting place, and the skills of the codebreakers – including the highly talented Alan Turing – were tremendous.
On a computer, not a phone, Google Bletchley Park and watch the letters/words under the little map tile in the top right.
Thanks, AG. That’s a nice feature.
Here’s the next picture:

Offline Dance Tonight? Isn’t there a portrait of Formby on the wall in the video?

Offline It’s a great video for Dance Tonight with so much action taking place. I didn’t notice a portrait of George Formby on the walls. This might be a little tricky, and Paul has been putting out solo material for over 50 years now, so let’s narrow it down with a hint at this stage.
No:
Dance Tonight
Hint:
1970-1989 period.

Offline Yes, you’ve got it, @sigh butterfly! 
Leaning On A Lampost is one of George Formby’s most popular songs, and I think Paul’s lyric is probably intended as a little homage to George.

Offline Thanks Rich, that was a good one. I thought for sure there was a McCartney song that mentioned Blackpool, but I couldn’t find it. Then the lamp post popped in me head.
Here’s something John sang about…

Incidentally, SB, on the subject of George Formby, two of his other popular songs were considered to be a bit ‘naughty’ for their times. You might know them anyway because you seem to have a wide knowledge of British music and culture.
* When I’m Cleaning Windows (released in 1936)
* With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock (released in 1937)

That’s funny.
I woke up this morning and out of nowhere remembered ~ I’ve owned a version of Leaning On A Lamp Post for over 50 years.
