I stayed in Padstow in the late 60s before it was commercialized. It cost £10 to rent a cottage for a week.. Looking at the place now; I wouldn’t want to go back.

Whereabouts in Cornwall? A couple of friends and I stayed in Bude a few years ago, although I didn't get a chance to try any surfing.

“It’s you fault, you didn’t remind me to bring the keys.”

“But, you didn’t ask me to check to see it I brought them.”
“It’s you fault, you didn’t remind me to bring the keys.”
But I did ask you if you had the keys.
“But, that was in the house, you did not ask in the car.”
“It’s you fault, you didn’t remind me to bring the keys.”
But I did ask you if you had the keys and I asked you in the car.
“But, you didn’t ask if I had the right keys.”

If you are holidaying in the UK, why do you need special holiday money anyway in cash?
