Scrumpy...If I want to get trollyed I'll choose something that's fizzy that doesn't look like a kidney disease urine sample thank you


The Wurzels...enuff f*cking said


The fact that what once felt like a vaguely alternative part of the country is now packed to the rafters with yuppie scum, their restaurants and their kids celebrating getting their nowadys p!ss easy A Levels en mass.

Err...considering your opening salvo...why?

Find yourself a nice pub around midday and drink a healthy gallon of Bitter & Twisted. Repeat dose daily. That should get you through. Just don't hit any Hoorays on your way back to the hotel.

Reversing a trend..........shure you boys had employment there for centuries keeping the local rabble down.

I'll see you down there Quidsy. For I'm going fly fishing and for that the west country is superb.....and if you know where to go, not a hooray or Jamie Oliver diffusion in sight. Just me, a burbling river, the wildlife and hopefully a nice meal and a birthday pint with at the Arundell Arms after....:)-D

Aaahh - the Arundell Arms.I used to live within 3 miles of there, and enjoy a spot of fly fishing too. Now full of envy.


Some other positives for the West - North Devon - scruffy, agricultural, beautiful walks and seasides. A few really good restaurants, builders that not only turn up but also clean up after they finish work, my first married home, the birth of my two sons, one day I'll return on the proceeds of selling off in ED.

So Quids, if you are complaining about the 'West', what's the Emerald Isle......the Wild West?

I found some pure uadulterated (unpolished) beautiful pieces of real amethyst on a beach in Cornwall.


There are fabulous tin mines (yes, really) Clotted cream teas. Pirates and shipwrecks. Famous Five country. Rolling hills. Sea.


Stay away from Padstein and you'll be fine (tu)

    • What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".  
    • Thanks so much. Yes I have. Really appreciate your kindness in replying. Thank you.
