Please could someone reverse this photo.It was  a slide I borrowed and somehow I got it back to front so all wording is unrecognisable
Thank you

Trouble is - you still can't read the writing and the men's waistcoats are buttoned the wrong way!    :-\

Are you sure sure it was the wrong way before China turned it??     :-\

Just tried it - the writing is not back to front - it is upside down in original - so it really should be the original way.    ;D ;D

Wonderful photograph ... cleaned, sharpened, made pole vertical and left it the original way round.
On a steep hill as chocks under rear wheels.
Well seen WiggyHobbes :-))

Thank you so much you observant people. I was worried that I had scanned it the wrong way. I never would have thought of waistcoat buttons --of all things.
Wonderful work everyone.
Thank you.
