Chesil Beach Beer Can At Chesil Beach I had merry japes watching poeple throw pebbles at a floating beer can. I'm cursing myself that my camera was set to a low resolution video setting.
I have it and am looking forward to reading it. McEwan was chastised for mentioning that he had a pebble from the beach on his writing desk while he wrote it. He had to take it back. (The pebble not the book)

"Chesil Beach

Ah..you'd be thinking of "Echo Beach" by Martha and the Muffins.

I had some vague notion that this song was about Chesil beach. Its completely wrong. It must have been a myth going round at the time.
There's a book called On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan.
