The wierd thing is that you find yourself reading the post with an accent.....if you know what I mean....


And I have now discovered that I am useless at a Cornish accent....

Cornish/English translation and summarised:

Wedgie is travelling to Cornwall soon, He is staying near St.Austell and has no idea where he will be staying. He would like some information as he will be residing in the Duchy until approximately Thursday or Friday.

TVR content of the post, I have one but it will not be accompanying me.




Proper Job

Avoid the HSD if you want to be sober enough to drive within a few days, (though it is lovely stuff..) Sharps various ales are worth trying, (brother brews for them so I might be slightly biassed).

Barnecutts Pasties are generally acknowldged to be most excellent and with a bit of luck I will be eating one of them myself in the not too far distant future..

Say 'ello to Denzil for us

[jtong]

Just got back on Saturday after staying a week in a cottage just north of Looe. Fantastic food/walks/seaside/drives in the area.

Pasties are great in the tiny "The Pasty Shop" in Looe. Good fishmongers there too.

Don't drink the local scrumpy...

Even the locals won't drink it.

As they say - the first drink leads to the second and
the third to the floor !

[Dunc B]

Well, what happened was!!!
There weren't many places that had Optimax when I wuz down there last week,
not keen on that idea , bugger!

[jtong]

If I remember, there was Optimax about halfway between Liskeard and Plymouth; just south of Truro; and just north-east of Bodmin.

The shell website has the exact locations.

As a Cornishman I object to the innane dribblings posted here, so I off down fourliggyway a couple of gunshots for a TeddyOggy (pasty to you lot).

Try the coastal road from Camelford up to Bideford. It was voted one of the best driver roads in the country....(damn should keep quiet as that means the Tallivans will be out).

p.s. sorry have to disagree on the pasty comment, although Barnecutts are good they are not a patch on the butchers in the high street in Liskeard who make their own pasties. These are simply awesome. (God it's turned into a Cornish Pie Thread!!)

[wedg1e]

Oh arr. Well I went down thataway (all 439 miles of it), but oi'd forgotten moi paaaaaassport so they wouldn't let me in. Then they realised that I speak in almost as incomprehensible a tongue as they do, so they relented.
Alas due to work commitments I was unable to quaff of the local ales, scrumpy not being to my taste (what with being a hard northern realbeermonster and that) and damned if the paaaaaasty shop hadn't gone and sold out when I got there.
Full marks to the landlady of the B&B whose door I knocked on at 10PM, begging a bed. Not only did she put me up (ooer missus) but when I jokingly mentioned that I prefer croissants for brekky to that fried muck, she duly obliged by getting up at the the crack of sparrow-fart to locate me some; no mean feat considering that the entire shopping experience of St Austell comprises 97 souvenir shops, a charity shop and a man selling whelks in the pub.
With typical lack of reliability, the equipment that I had taken to install, that was duly tested prior to being loaded into the van, completely failed to operate when I installed it. So I removed it, and am currently back at me Julie's awaiting a good seeing-to, en route for the office and a good punch-up no doubt.
Dare say I'll be back to Snozzle afore ye can recite the Cornish national anthem...

Work, don't you love it?

There's quite a nice indoor market at St Austell IIRC.
There was also the Ozzell Bowl, 10 pin bowling aswell.

IIRC there is a Barnecutts cafe and pasty shop in St Austell, which if anything like the pasties from Wadebridge ought to be far superior to most of the others the good pie eating sir ought to have found when in town.

Just so happens that I know the place you mean in Liskeard, or at least have eaten a pastie or two purchased from a butchers thats a stone's throw from the doctors surgery at the foot of the high street.

Hmm.. Pasties..

Big Griff - Remember the Ginsters place when it was just a caravan? I do - Oo ar! Wedg1e - Did you take the 390??

Holy cr@p!! We charge enough as it is, without buying an oilfield to fuel that thing! Besides, the 390's X-ray set carrying capacity is somewhat limited...
