Doom mongers wrong again.

Have you tried welcoming them?

No because there are FAR too many of them. They are wrecking Cornwall.

[Borchester]

Also there may have been far too many tourists last year but they kept their wallets firmly closed.

Same as that . Its coastline is worth the walk but its hospitality sector needs putting in special needs

The hospitality industry is havingserious problems because they can't get staff because there is nowhere for staff to live due to overtourism, second home, holiday lets, and airbandb hogging more or less all the available housing.

Same attitude as the Welsh, we don't want you to come, just send your money.

Poor judgment definitely, I made that mistake in 2021.

Who cares , Cornwall is nothing more than a holiday resort for poor people

It isn't just me saying so, it has been subject to debate in the Houses of Parliament, and question by MPs to the relevant ministers of state. (Even my (Tory,) MP put his head up above the parapet yesterday and ask two related questions.

I thought that we were in recession, with Christmas cancelled and Tiny Tim instead of a turkey.

So it looks as though we are weathering the storm quite nicely

The above is what shows up as Reply #35 on my iPad...

Your reply #35 appears to show that lacing your thermos of coffee with whatever's stashed in your allotment shed is more potent than Alzheimer's....

?

You made reply #35 Pat

[patman post]

I was not aware that I thought that.

I know that Cornwall is a financial and social disaster because Pappy says so. And I have been through various economic ups and downs and can't say that they have bothered me or mine, so I am not troubled

Strange observation when you're the one thinking the UK is in recession, while I don't believe we are, and could still dodge it...

So if the news is bad you believe it and if it is good you dismiss it as Tory lies?

[Borchester]

Is that the reading of the runes from the compost heap?

Reports I take seriously either claim we are heading for recession, or that we should manage to dodge one — crunch time is forecast to be the end of the year...
