    Do you want sea views?

        What an ill-considered, ill-informed, inaccurate, ignorant, stupid, fatuous, idiotic and pointless remark.

          These people contribute nothing to the local community and I feel their views shouldn't count for much at all.
          Agreed.

          It was the liberal use of these terms (and the connected anti-English racism) that stopped me holidaying in Devon and Cornwall. I won't be rushing back.

          Do I like people who ask themselves their own questions so that they can give the answers they want? No, I do not.

          Does this guy sound like a twat? Yes he does.

          Has he helped me to form my own opinion here? Yes, he has.
          Agreed.

            Whilst I can't support the views of incomers, I have to question the economics of this.

            They apparently land a massive 1 million pounds of fish a year, well big deal! How much is this jetty going to cost for such a piddly amount of business? Are the fishermen going to pay to use the jetty or will the (council) tax payer be picking up the bill for their convenience?

              We’re talking about a jetty here not Brighton pier FFS, where do you think Rick Stein gets his crabs? It’s a sign of the times when £1m is considered ‘piddly’.
              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  They could probably pick this one up cheap.

                    I bet by the time that the local council have got involved, there isn't much change from 500 grand
