That's one thing of many they don't do well.

I seriously wouldn't live in that shithole again for any money. Any. 10 million a year? No thanks, if I had to live there.

Status: offline 		I found Wales beautiful, just the landscape and all, I'd even go as far and say that Cornwall and Wales are the most beautiful parts of the UK, Wales possibly wins because it has mountains and the sea, better weather than most of the UK too due to the gulf stream...

But Cornwall and Wales both have the disadvantage of being remote places...

Status: offline 		I have no clue who rick stein is, lol I havent been home in three years and the last time was for my dads funeral (st austell and truro) But as a kid/ and before I moved out here it was my "out of the way privacy and wild and windy cliff walking place",  the one lane roads where a cow could fall on your bonnet  from a field(around trevose),  the fudge shop and shell shops in padstow, the pasties, the people who still call you an emmet even tho you have lived there 20 or more years.
I love devon and somerset too, but cornwall has my heart

Rick Stein's a telly chef with a thing for fish. He's opened a restaurant in Cornwall, and had problems with locals taking him to task for trying to exploit the region. I don't get the impression he's a popular man down there.

Then why are those that are affected not doing anything about it ?

What is it as we get older we become more dumbed down, trained well to accept what we are told without question ?

At least with the young, they are idealistic and have the energy to fight for what they believe in, that coupled with further education and the theories that are studied, they see the reason to fight against oppression, for that is what it is and the rest of us, the elder generations have no fight left in us, that is why the majority of soldiers who fight overseas are in the late teens to early twenties age group, they are uneducated in the alternative realities that exist and have been well trained to do as they are told without question.

The students, if we ignore the thought training conventional press are actually doing us a favour, in that they are showing us that we must fight for what we believe in, and it would serve this country well, ( that is country as in people, not state), if everyone who is effected by these cuts demonstrated their displeasure, else we are all just doing what we are told by people who do not feel the cuts.

As I said, divide and conquer is at work and the corporate media are the instrument of state.

Stinking hangovers?

Mediocre people generally find something to dislike in successful people.

We British are, I think, the worst for that (although Aussies deserve an honourable mention too - c.f. "tall poppy syndrome"). If someone's successful they're supposed to be an angel as well, or people get miffed.

Stein's done a huge amount of good for Cornwall as a place; previously it was just a beautiful landscape, peopled by narrow-minded inbreds.

Now it's a beautiful landscape, populated by narrow-minded inbreds, that people visit more often

It is short sighted for us to shut out the kids.   They will just have to redo the model.  I doubt the kids are these terrible monsters - and we are all going to die-  via them.

but give it 20 years- and that very well could be the case.

Scrumpy  the tastiest poison in the world, yes deadly hangovers, worse than ouzo and scotch mix hangover.
I doubt that I would enjoy the changes to padstow, but thats cos my memories are  so special.
The UK just isnt big enough to NOT be "unspoiled" and I only go back 40 years to when newquay was "the place" to surf in  the UK
times they are a changin

I don't know if it's entirely that older people get 'dumbed down'. I think an additional factor is that younger folks have a lifetime to fight for, and uncertain experience with adulthood, which makes any society-wide discomfort seem exponentially more threatening; there's more at stake for them.
