My attempts to say "Help ma boab" have become a traditional form of Christmas entertainment for my partner's family.I got the annuals every year as a child and I bought my children them, and I still have a small collection! Jings crivens and help ma Boab! That’s my favourite saying.
That's what I think, too. We holiday in Cornwall every year and last year my wife went to buy some rolls at the local bakery and was told by a grumpy old so-and-so that they were for his regulars, aka locals I assume. There's also a nice pub that we used to have a meal in but when we went there the year after Covid there was a sign up saying locals only in the bar. There were only 2 people in the bar, and one of them was the barmaid.
Some of them definitely are. There´s the issues you mentioned with housing, and also some of the islands attract a lot of the type of tourists that come to have tons of alcohol (and other substances) and trash places and cause trouble. Sadly those can give a bad reputation to the rest of visitors. But you are also right that tourism is quite important to the local economy, so...it´s complicated.
Martin I skim read your post and thought your last line read “ one of them was a mermaid”.I thought surely the bar would have been full then I reread your exact words
I remember the Tom Cruise film of 'Interview with a Vampire'. What to do on a day trip to Bournemouth? Make sure you're aged at least 70!Good evening! 7.2 in the meter this morning, I had a break from Libre the past two days. Might apply a new one tonight, or wait until tomorrow.
Finally got 2 days off in a row. Started with a proper night of sleep and washing my hair, I felt good as new after. Then my period hit me with nausea and discomfort but is mostly over. I had fun at Book Club this morning but I am a bit sad that my book was not very popular, only one person has finished it. I refused to give more recomendations for now, anyway there´s a long list to pick from already. The choice for next month is "Interview with the vampire". I will wait a week or so to start, I´m not in the mood right now but it sounds appropiate for "spooky season".
I come to you once more for tourist advice. Anyone has suggestions for what to do in a day trip to Bournemouth?
Damn it! I only have a few hours to age over 40 years!
I think you'll find Bournemouth rather dull then 😳.
Oh well...at least a change from my own town, which I like but can get boring at times, too. I was invited by a couple of friends, she has a work event there and he is driving her. They said I could join the trip, so I get to see a new place and he doesn´t have to wait for her alone. I didn´t have anything better to do
That all sounds frustrating. I'm glad that some of them are helpful but there's nothing worse than going to an appointment that adds nothing to your treatment and ends up feeling like a waste of everyone's time.
