All 3 on my list too.

The Turks was the scene of many a drunken evening. Went to St Agnes 16 out of 17 years from 1998 and especially when John Dart had the place, it was fantastic. Closing time would pass and he would let you have several ABFs - absolutely bloody final drinks - staggering back to our cottage in the early hours was quite a challenge! Happy daze.

I think he sold it around 2010 and the new owners didn’t ‘get’ the vibe at all to begin with, although they did improve and I believe it is pretty good again.

It is a magical place, unfortunately they’ve been increasingly guilty of milking the tourists. Accommodation and restaurant prices are mental money now.

stunning place and magical …We’ve been three times now and vow to go back. We always go late season, after schools have gone back - quieter, but the weather can be unpredictable

I had an email from the hotel we stayed at last time on St Martins - pointing out they are getting fully booked for next summer… We will go back in time… Back to Scotland next summer all being well.

There is a pub in Lewes called ‘The Snowdrop’ Apart from thinking it had a rather strange name I have never paid it much heed.
Little did I realise that the worst (as far as loss of life is concerned) avalance on record in Britain took place in Sussex.

So in an election presumably its voters would be the first, by a long way, to cast their votes.

If there were any voters, that is.

Which there aren’t.

I just checked Wikipedia. Peter Hitchens, fucking imbecile, is indeed the brother of Christopher Hitchens, utter genius. Ironic that the latter dying first is proof of the lack of a just god.

Yep just like Piers Corbyn, fucking imbecile, is the brother of Jeremy Corbyn, utter… oh never mind.
