WTF type of contract did you find in Brixham? There's nothing there apart from four fingered locals, crap pubs and fishermen who want to beat you up?

You'd be surprised. When a large company nearby called Nortel closed, it spawned loads of fibre optic startups in the Torbay area.

Chatting to one or two fishermen on the sea front during my fag breaks, I've found them fairly civil. There's one guy who fishes with a Jack Russell, and each time he casts the mutt makes a couple of strange loud yapping noises "YIP YAP". Drives the other fishermen potty apparently, so this guy has to find a spot on his own.

What a great place for a gig. Nice pubs, fresh Crab sarnies for lunch and views to die for.

Plenty of kippers.

I'd have loved to, but I'm currently contracting in Brixham. So it would be a heck of a drive.

Yes, but if you worship the Spaghetti Monster you may be deeply offended if some people for their evening snack order a spaghetti bolognese!
