The shed draggers and the roof box brigade - you’d think they’d never seen a single track road before ?

For the amount of work you do you might as well buy a holiday home in the South of France and move out while the holidaymakers are on your patch.

It never seems to amaze me that "locals", half probably moved from London, living in tourist hotspots, moan like buggery about visitors spending money in their idyllic area. I lived in Dorset for 31 years, the same there, moan, moan bleeding moan. They'd soon moan if the money dried up. I've been out on the piss so don't care if I get abuse. I thank you in advance.

You tell him David, he don't even come from Cornwall.

And he was a sodding matelot.  I am now preparing to repel boarders.

I've a feeling we both might get a verbal kicking when he gets back from mincing around, or whatever it is retired sailors do. It certainly isn't a lot of work.

Ex matelots usually sit in a quay side pub sporting an unkempt beard that nesting birds live in, saying wise words like lubber, avast and other gems. They especially like the well worn phrase " pass the cabin boy to me."  They often have a knackered old fishing net on their knees that they pretend to mend to impress the tourists. Vast amounts of free ale and rum are consumed by the said net mender, all the while talking in the manner of Robert Newton playing role of Long John Silver. Very impressive to witness. I am now progressing to Champagne, so will be spouting more crap. I apologise in advance .

Out of interest what do you think is the most impartial online news service? I was brought up with the BBC and used to consider it fairly balanced but those days seem to be long gone sadly. 

I may have been mistaken. Perhaps some of them are prepared to tell the truth:

Yep, it was their coverage of this that made me ask the question. The bias was astonishing. I am not a labour voter to date but thought they were given almost an equally hard time in spite of only having a fraction of the loses. Not to mention the beeb hardly mentioning the huge gains for liberal democrats. Is it not possible the lib dems did so well due to their stance on brexit as opposed to wanting to kick the conservatives? Just appalling bad coverage all around.

I figger that the not unreasonable presumption was that if Labour had had even ever kinda got their shit together, at all, under  credible leadership, i.e. sans Comrades Corbyn, Abbot and McDonnell,

they should have shit all over the Conservatives in both the House and at the elections.

Since the Conservatives under TM's unique version of Leadership had left themselves stupidly vulnerable.

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory as it were.

The liberal democrats deserve no praise for scooping up the protest votes from both Labour and Conservative.

News out this morning that there are less GP’s per population than ever before. This is due to far more leaving/ retiring than becoming new ones , won’t stop lying shitbags from the Brexit brigade blaming it on immigrants though, easy target Mr Farage?
