Oh yes indeedy - and the fab fish and chips at that place right opposite the
WWII tank. It`s not far at all from Dartmouth, and we often went there when
Richard was in BNRC Band, and when we went down to Plymouth last time
nothing had changed when we visited Dartmouth.

I remember being down there at Christmas and that big hotel near the
Boat-Float was all done up like a Christmas parcel, compete with ribbon!

Was "Killer the Chemist" there when you were there? In the butter-walk. The
name always always tickled me.

You`m spot on, my maid! Couldn`t think of the exact location!

So long as it has not changed hands, there is a fabulous pub in
Princetown for lunch. It's a nice old place, can't be missed.
Reasonable prices.

Moving over to the coast, I think I have forgotten to ask, does John
know about the Crab Teas at Slapton Sands? They are famous in the
area and rightly so. Yuck ! Why oh why did I have to think of them!

And in Cornwall UK there's a 'Gnome World ' where at the start of
your
visit
you pick up a compulsory hat and fishing rod so that the gnomes
don't
get
upset ( and at my height the blend is very easy !!!!)

Do you mean "Pixie World" on the Plymouth/Tavistock side of Dartmoor?

Me luvvers you'm meaning up between Two Bridges and Princetown up on
Dartmoor.

The
hats etc. there aren`t compulsory, thank goodness for their trade! Of
course
there`s probably one in Cornwall, too! Although my husband`s ancestors
originate in Cornwall, and the scenery and history are beautiful - I
have
to
warn you that all the pirates are alive and well and running the
tourist
traps down there! We ALL feel relieved to get back to dear old Devon
if
we
venture into Cornwall. Yes, I KNOW that Devon has tourist traps, but
at
least the people smile at you there, and are much more friendly and
helpful!
If DH gets in a mood I always tell him his Cornish ancestry is
showing!
LOL!

The best part of Britain we`ve been to for kindness, courtesy and
honesty
is
Scotland - the Western Highlands and particularly the Islands, to be
specific. We`ve found much the same in North Wales, too. We always
maintain
that the further North you go, the nicer the people are!
