If you have the Nav Screen and drive off with the parking brake on, it beeps at you and puts up picture of your Elgrand with a VERY shouty red triangular hazard symbol!! Err maybe, umm probably, cough cough!

We don’t have that- after reading all of the good stuff on here about the ICE system and making it workable here it wasn’t a must have. The big red light was enough for me

Gave up at 40 secs, did I miss anything?

I've just seen the price to "rent" a video via Amazon prime.....£15.99.
I know it's a new release, but good grief.....come back Blockbuster, a few quid for rental, job done.

I go to Cornwall at least 4 times a year and got an I ❤ Kernow sticker on the back of my van. Doesn't stop some of the locals being complete a5sh0les. Luckily the vast majority are really nice

Nah, they are the ones from Redruth,

Cornwall is a beautiful place to be and I love visiting but the region is also classed as one of the most deprived places in Northern Europe and one of 4 in the UK they all received money from the European Social Fund, well Brexit has killed off that financial help.

Tourism is a double edged sword as it brings in the money which in turn funds crap jobs within the hospitality industry that pays peanuts to the workers so most of them are on some sort of income support benefit so when I eat out I will tip fairly and will ask if the staff get the tips.

Like anywhere, if you have a decent job with a better than average salary then you are laughing but you do need to think about the lower end of the scale where people want to work but are put off by the cost of travel to and from work for less than £10ph.

It’s great that nice people like yourself come to Cornwall John, unfortunately you’re getting tarred with the same brush as the A-hole version of the tourist. In mine and most of the people I know in Cornwall’s experience there are a lot of ‘Black Swan’ events with tourists, we are a friendly, laid back people and so we do not like the I want it now! attitude, inconsiderate, selfish and incredibly arrogant behaviour of most tourists, not to mention the aggressive and sub standard driving ability they bring on holiday. Get yourself a Pirate FM sticker and ditch the Kernow one if you want to make a more subtle statement

Hey that's a great idea. Listen to Pirate FM whenever I can when down there.
I must say I much prefer visiting out of season. I will be down in August as we come with our children and grandkids so have school holidays to consider but will stay away from the hotspots as much as possible. After that we'll have a more relaxing holiday at end of October/early November when all the tourists have gone home.

The Government has pledged to match the social fund, so hopefully that will happen, tourism is only 12% of the annual GDP of Cornwall, so although the largest sector, there are still a lot of other sectors making up the other 88%

Treat others the way you wish to be treated yourself and when on holiday act like a local (not the one that wants to fight the tourists after 3 bottles of White Lightning though) one of the nicest places I stayed at was Cadgwith Cove and had a great fish and chip supper at a village day on the green in Gweek, took over an hour to be served a takeaway but it was fantastic and I don't think there where many tourists there and the organiser was surprised that I both along a family of 4 from Poland and it was a local well Helston metal work artist that told me about the place.
