Summer Holidays

[clapton is god]

Poor connection.... You're barely coming through..... I'm getting wine and beer....

Picture the scene, picturescue bar on the old port of Skiathos as we sip cocktails....

"where you from?" Asks the Greek waiter.

"Manchester," I reply.

"Ah, manhester, you lurve United, yes?"

"No, Bolton Wanderers."

There's a five second pause as he stares at me, then "BOLTON WANDERERS? Jeeeezuz!

He turns on his heels and walks away muttering "Shite!

I could've had him but I was mindful of Little Bobs recent post.

Tsk, you need to say "Bolton Wanderers, Stelios played for them" then you get "Ahhh, Stelios, yes, yes"....I think it's probably time for Ma Claption to walk Little Bobs in the direction of the road, whilst you pi$$ up his bar...

^ I've genuinely tried that Stelios line previously and have had blank looks in return.

I had a chat with a waiter in Zante about 5 years ago who knew all about him. You're on the wrong island.

Aye, I would throw in Kos, Corfu, Crete, Zante and a few others....Maybe it's just that they think Clappers looks a bit shady.

That sounds like a fair swap for the UK but I imagine the Cypriots will be a bit pi55ed off!

Enjoy Vet!

That is about all you can do I suppose. You didn't mention anything about sun bathing. I hope the weather gets better.

Two more days in Portugal and our last full day tomorrow it looks like there will be heavy rain showers.

I'm enjoying seeing proper clouds and rain to be honest, just wish the grey would go and let me have a few hours of sun to heat the pool up

Enjoy the rest of yours

Well not having been to Cornwall for about 40 years and now a temporary resident, it's changed.
Some of the change is good, the A30 (apart from a two mile stretch the cone men are on) is a bloody good road, be ace on the bikes, caught myself doing, well a bit over the speed limit just going with the flow of this road.
Minor roads are still deadly when you meet the local panzer brigade i.e. these bloody big tractors with drivers who think they are at Silverstone.
Villages are drop dead stunning, there are some very smart pads dotted around, had a quick peep at prices, no price crash here.
Beaches, beautiful, weather Cloudy with sunny spells, not cold, bit chilly come night time when it's peed down.
Accommodation, first class you couldn't get a better apartment in a hotel like this caravan unless you paid a hell of a lot more, master bedroom even has an en-suite!
Downside, every car park is pay n display or up to a fiver a car for private fields!! robbing fecking bastards!!!

It's about 30 years since I was last in Cornwall, but we did consider St Ives and Bude for our October break this year. Instead though, we are having a few days in Seahouses, Northumberland.
