Cornwall is great if you respect it and aren't a patronising gimp. It's a totally different pace of life down there.
What is funny is when you're staying in a rented house and see the "posh people" in their twin-axle caravans hauled by Chelsea tractors. They're still pissing in a cupboard.
Golden rule to stay safe - always take your rubbish back to your accommodation. There are signs at a couple of local beaches saying "enjoy the beach and leave only your footprints behind".The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

The sheer abount of crap on beaches is incredible. I loosely know a photographer down there campaigning on this sort of thing and it's heartbreaking.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Just heard this from someone I know in another Cornish village.
The local shop decided to introduce mandatory face covering a while ago. They've just banned a family on holiday for refusing to cover up. The family said they came on holiday to "get away from that sort of thing".Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Not much chance of winning the cottage in North Wales, but I reckon the odds are orders of magnitude better than the rip-off National Lottery
If I did perchance win the cottage and decided to sell it, and it wasn't my primary residence, I'd have to pay capital gains tax on the whole sale price!
Feck that, I'd rather keep it and let it rot back into the ground!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Technically, you could ask the raffle winner how much they took in total and use that as the buy price? The capital gains calculation may work out a lot better.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

One could argue the other contestants subsidised my "purchase", like a parent contributing towards a buy to let which one of their offspring purchased.
But then I might be liable for a load of gift tax!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
