We usually holiday abroad but have decided to give it a miss this year. We're having a week in a lodge in west of Scotland and a few days at a family wedding in Inverness as well. Can't be bothered with whole hassle factor at airport and the security situation has made me a little twitchy.

Oh yes!!!! I remember that now. Don't know him though. Didn't know the poor soul either.

Could be this news story. www.cornishguardian.co.uk/delabole-murder-trail-patrick-curran-sentenced/story-25928781-detail/story.html

Oh I know what you are talking about now!

Well one of the grans was talking about the loos and I knew she lived in Delabole for a while so asked if that where she worked. I done remember if she replied!

Nothing about bodies though. Shame sounded quite interesting.

It may have been the Victorian school toilets in another post ....

Hoping you can enlighten us whitewave
it was this thread:

?Delabole?

Bez1989 mentioned the body in the attic in the 1950s and whitewave said ?Delabole? and I assumed that whitewave had heard the story before and was asking if it was in Delabole.

Never heard of a murder in Delabole - all strict Methodists. Only sherry at Christmas! Mind you my memory might be failing me - I could ask my 98 year old mother or 88 year old Aunt they may remember.

We don't know, hoping you can enlighten us, it was many years ago apparently! (not the thread, that was the other week.)

A real body or a fiction?

I will be very surprised if they drop the toll charges on the Severn Bridges.

whitewave I think it was the confusion on another thread; someone mentioned a body in the attic in Cornwall, then you posted 'Delabole'? so we thought the body was in an attic in Delabole.
I don't think we ever established where it was.

What is that rose?

They said the Dartford crossing charge would be dropped when it had been paid for , but it is such a money spinner they have kept the toll and increased it. ( don't believe the promises!)

Not the body in the attic Delabole!

my family village is Delabole just up the road from Port Isaac, and we had relatives from there as well. Named Honey.

We loved Port Isaac. We happened to be there when they were filming Doc Martin. Martin Clunes was very courteous to everyone

It's the 50th aniversary of the opening of the Severn Bridge this year Luckygirl

Thanks for the info re the Leeds/Newquay flights, chrissie13, that is good news. Maybe they'll really take off and be reinstated for next Summer. Fingers crossed!

I love travelling and we have done a lot of it-long haul and city breaks- since retiring but DH increasingly not keen. So I am going to Japan with DD2 and Cuba with DD1.We had a week in Kent at the end of Aprik and the weather was awful Going to Lake District with DDs in Oct. Fingers crossed as have always been lucky with weather there ButUK holidays are so expensive comparatively .The Lakes cottage is nearly £700 in late Oct (not half term) And a recent stay in York, admittedly in a nice hotel, cost us as much as a short European citybreak would have .
Our family holidays for 34 years have been to Cornwall in all sorts of weather and it is our 'happy place'

We have just booked a week in Orkney. When you add up the petrol, ferry, and hotel accommodation it is going to cost three times the amount of the week we had in Morocco this spring. Ooooh I've just remembered the Morocco holiday was all inclusive. Superb food and any drinks you wanted, all water sports entertainment and guaranteed sunshine! Looks like it is going to cost four times the Moroccan holiday ?

We go to festivals..just got back from our 9th..several more to go. Have the camper van,so live isn't too rough ! Love meeting up with old friends and meeting new ones .

I love the first Severn Bridge - it is beautiful.

The Severn Bridge was government funded but the Second Severn Crossing was built by a consortium which also took over the original Severn Bridge, its maintenance and any debt remaining on it.
The toll is set by an Act of Parliament and goes up every year on 1 January.
