Oh dear, with awful bunged up roads, persistent dampness, awful hotels, reactionary locals here is another reason to avoid the South-West...

Ouch!

I think they do a good job of keeping cyclists and joggers to a minimum on our country roads now all they need to do is start on the caravaners and all will be well with the world

Spooky Mulder

I love your response - you don't disagree with my other comments

You reactionary you

You'll find the locals reactionary because it's a different pace of life, then you lot come down racing around everywhere like it's something important.

Try enjoying your holiday instead of bringing your problems along then maybe you'll get a different response.

As for buzzards i've had one several feet away dive on the ground but it was after something else, big buggers mind.

Spooky Mulder

To imagine I would go to the south-west on holiday is totally deluded!

The reactionary view was established from posters on Snet rather than on personal observation. Although, my relatives in the South-West are fairly reactionary now that I put my mind to it.

Wow, perhaps people will pay heed and head to York instead

hux309

They can be but you have to understand we are inundated every year, the roads go from sensible to sheer lunacy at times and finding a parking spot is borderline laughable, we understand why people want to come down trouble is it's getting to saturation point, there's hardly a day where i don't see some sort of problem caused by it.

As for the roads being packed, well local knowledge helps with that one.

As for not wanting to come down on holiday, don't forget most of the areas you went are tourist hotspots, try searching further afield, stay away from st ives/newquay/roseland/padstow/polzeath/rock etc.

There are still unspoilt areas, it's getting harder to find but they are there.

York is a bit meh, lots of cobblestones and lads nights out on the weekends, not to mention it has a bloody great wall, it's nice but cornwall it aint.

Spooky Mulder

It's all right - I live in a the middle of a field ten miles away with a wall, a moat (complete with Duck Island) and a shotgun

PS And Northumberland/Scotland is much closer and has everything the South-West has to offer with none of the downsides.

It is difficult not to form an opinion of the grockles when they come here walking about as if they owned the place, shouting at each other all the time, dressed in string vests which scarcely retain their monstrous bellies, gronfing away on fast food at all times of the day, and dropping the residue on the ground instead of in the bins provided,walking all over the roads instead of on the pavements provided,bumping into others as though they never existed,especially the disabled,standing around outside the pubs hoovering the alcohol and then throwing up all over the road,treating the locals as though they are mentally deficient,trying to drive through gaps that don't exist and then spending 20 minutes shouting at each other in the middle of the road and not bothering to clear away the glass from their broken side mirrors,and all in all bringing their very poor or non existent manners with them!

That buzzard was nobody's fool believe me.

Maybe the Buzzard is natures way of keeping the grockles away from the South West.

Either that or it's a new weapon of mass destruction from the boys at the Cornwall National Liberation Army (CNLA) to keep the Grockles out.

Can the Buzzard be modified to drop bombs on the caravans, please please please.

Leslie

You mean the Grockle boxes?

Les

Spooky Mulder

Obviously not a man who has driven around Scotland and Northumberland on the amazing car free roads over the moors.

I agree - it can be a bit damp

Sonic'

Spooky, where you a fish in a previous life ?

hux309

And don't forget the midges.

The term is 'emmet' btw not grockle that's a devonian term that i will have no part of.

springbok

Now now Hux, just because leslie and myself are on the best side of the Tamar
You say Emmet we say it correctly on this side of the river, grockle.

dpb

'mistaken for a slow rabbit'

dpb

I dont think theyre mentally deficient its just the way they speak,probably

This is the main reason I avoid coming down to cornwall during peak holiday season. I've been down to friends once during the summer holidays and the words "Feckin nightmare" spring to mind.

I'll come back down when the retards and their off spring have gone home and as for

st ives - full of pretencious artist wannabees
newquay - full of scabby teenage drunks
roseland - wockney cankers
padstow - full of people saying "How much?" outside rick steins chippy

As for the bloke being attacked by the buzzard, he was a solicitor. The buzzard probably though he was vermin and fair game

Matteeboy

Yep it's cr4p down here.

Best not bother coming down...

hux309

Yeah alright you keep telling yourself that whilst i sit here knowing better.

springbok

You do have Matteboy on your side of the river though, Cornwall has it's uses, so thanks for that

I do wonder why we have to pay to get out of cornwall though, and not the other way

hux309

I hear he's going to devon for his summer hols though.

Kot did you really have to bring that one up?

Spooky Mulder

We may have had our differences in outlook but I do admire your ability to say the truth as you see it

mykp

Only during the summer hols. The rest of the year is brilliant

Matteeboy

Nope - it cr4p all year round.

We have no restaurants, only greasy spoons. We have no hotels, only pikey guest houses. We have no countryside, only wasteland. Our beaches are litter strewn, our water polluted and we never get surf. The roads clog up all year round and even where they are clear, the are so rutted that only a Massey Ferguson will get you around.

The character filled, empty roaded, constantly sunny, stunning rolling hills of the South East and it's openly warm and friendly people who cast aside such trivialities as income, watch type and car model is a joy compared to the choking, poisonous land we struggle to live in down here.

Take heed.

dpb

Far too much coastline than can be good for you , thats for sure

dpb

..and here in the south east weve got force 5 SW , down to the beach after the tides dropped
