    I spent a season working at the St Ives Bay Hotel in 1954, 4.07 on film., busy time as hotel always full. The hotel had a 1920’s Rolls Royce which we sometimes used for an outing. On the beach I met the film star Linden Travers and her daughters, lovely lady.

    I was born in St Erme, between Truro & Mitchell, in 72. My parents moved us up to Essex in 1979 to find work.. I try to visit Cornwall every year it feels like real home to me. Finances & health prevent me from moving back but it is a long term goal... Due to my ‘Estuary accent’ its not uncommon or particularly nice to get called grockle, Emmet or cockney & receive funny looks as I did several times this year in St Ives when in shops or restaurants.

    • @TomRelubbus
      @TomRelubbus 4 года назад

      Hello Mark. Places like St.Ives, Rock, Port Isaac, Fowey, etc have been swamped with tourism and second, or holiday homes. The only option left for most local people is to move to a nearby council estate, or to the nearest town with affordable rent/house prices. Some days in St.Ives, there aren't any local people at all to be found there, so if you've been getting any funny looks its most likely from other tourists, or up country people who have retired, or have a second homes there. I've lived all my life only a few miles away, and I detest going to any of these places in summer. Not because of St.Ives people, but because of the God-awful unfriendly middle class these places they've morphed into.

      @@AlisonBryen thanks for putting me straight on that. Maybe because I’m getting older I can never understand why thinking it will sound “cool”, people use an already existing word for an expression that means something else and most people don’t have a cotton pickin’ clue what it means. Even Googling the word “emit” only has the version that we all know about, for example “cars emit carbon dioxide.”
