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)

    • It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply. 
    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.
