    Nah, that’s ok Dave.  It’s Because we like it!  We do go to other places too.

    When I say each year, this will be our third year.  As you know, with Joe, finding suitable accommodation is not easy.  We found a lovely converted barn on a farm just outside Porthtowan, where the owners had made it accessible, level access, wide doors, wet room, etc.  Both kids love it, the farm dog comes in and says hello, it’s nice and relaxing and a good base to head anywhere in Cornwall.  Porthtowan beach, although not the prettiest is fine to get Joe’s beach wheelchair on and off.

    For us, there’s something to be said for turning up somewhere, and not having to suss everything out, and the holiday starting the moment you arrive.

    It takes a helluva lot of prep (and money) taking Joe’s wheelchair abroad, so we tend to do a big trip every few years, e.g. Oz, LA / Anaheim.

    Porthtowan is great. Many happy memories in the tidal pool when the kids were tiny.

    Didn't it used to have an actual tree growing up inside it? An they used to parade around showing you the courses before you ate. Or was I drunk?

    I remember it being rather old fashioned decor, but deliberately. Big table with starters on, and the trolley would come around with the courses.

    Being drunk i think was par for the course. Sitting started at 7:30 and you'd be lucky to get out before 11..

    Like you say I guess you have to put your trust in them - but that's a lot of trust at that price! Let us know what it's like, definitely sounds like an experience. 

    There used to be a place on the Whiteladies road that did an evening taster menu. Can't bloody remember their name as they are gone now. It is a real experience that type of meal

    Do people "really" need one?

    I've never been convinced either way

    I also wonder this. How many people have actually been caught watching a dodgy stream, and what the penalty?

    They didn’t go for it at all. I’m not saying Chuck the kitchen sink at it. Could have at least tried to get to around 120/2 off 30 overs and then seen if they can kick on.  If they then found themselves 70/3 then bat for time. 

    If they don’t believe this batting line up can at least have a look for 90 mins then (a) dont pick it and (b) might as well not bother flying to Oz in 5 months 

    Bang on. The Aussies will be rubbing their hands watching that insipid performance. Roots interview after was utter bollox.
