Just stayed in the countryside outside St Ives for a long weekend.

Boring beautiful views but it is like watching paint dry, nothing was happening and until next spring when the flowers come out nothing will, give me a city anytime.

London, New York or Hong Kong, people traffic, bars theatres Restraunts etc, they are vibrant multi cultural cetres of life, how can you not be facinated.

What do you thing scenary or excitement.

By the way Cornwall closed at 11pm.

This is like whingeing that you couldn't go skiing on holiday in Florida.

What on earth were you expecting?

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Cornwall but I've got to agree with FlannerUK. Cornwall is beautiful precisely because it is the complete anthithesis to London. Wonderful sea air, stunning scenery, fabulous seafood, easy pace of life. I admit the weather at this time of year though is a lottery.

Are you a completely ignorant idiot or just utterly brainless?

London, New York, and Hong Kong are large multi-million populated cities, they are centres of culture, and finance. Of course, they have a twenty-four hour lifestyle as a result of this.

Cornwall, is attractive, with not too many distractions, the pace is laid back, it's relaxing. It's for people who don't want to be doing too much. If you went to Cornwall expecting vibrant nightlife, you're even more of an idiot than if you're merely pretending to be one. Sometimes walking along a beach hand in hand with someone under the moonlight is far more exciting than sipping Cosmos at the Met Bar.

Out of curiousity, please tell us, do you shop at Chloe and Celine expecting menswear?

Hmm...it's interesting that on a previous post (ignoring your rather disgraceful, basically homophobic comments), you state that there is only one place to stay in England and that's London. Clearly that's very much your preference for a holiday - vibrant, hectic cities. So why on earth did you even GO to Cornwall?!?!?

It was not my choice to go to Cornwall, one has to bow to ones partners choice occasionally, I did not go thinking it would be exciting I knew I would be bored.

I merely posted my observations about spending time in Cornwall or a big city, not expecting everyone to agree with me.

Because I have not got the same opnion as m_kingdon2 it does not make me a complete ignorant idiot or utterly boring indeed the ignorance of his/her message speaks volumne for the lack of inteligence of the individual concerned.

Oh my, John. I've had a look at some of your other posts, and it seems that no matter what question is posed, be it "where can I find the best cappucino in Florence" or "what's a great day trip outside London", your answer is always "LONDON. LONDON. STAY HERE. WHY WOULD YOU EVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE???"

Now, I'm never one to slag off London, after all I choose to live here, but isn't a change of pace nice sometimes? You do seem a little obsessive. Sometimes we all need a breather.

I'll be spending Christmas in Cornwall and I can't WAIT to get out of this city. Apart from anything else, there'll be a hell of a lot more life going on in Fowey at that time than there will be in the Square Mile.

Come on John, wake up and smell the sea air!

Coming from the person who expects a collection of small towns and villages to have the "excitement" of London. You still haven't answered my question: Do you shop at Celine and wonder why all the clothes are for women?

Margie

Sorry you didn't find enough excitement is a place know for a relaxed atmosphere, scenery, etc. I am sure you were a real joy to be with on the trip.

Sylvia

I'm very amused by this. Last time we were in the Scilly Isles we overheard some concerned parents talking in the newsagents. It seemed that some young bloods had gone to mainland Cornwall for the evening and had misbehaved themselves.
The idea of going to the bright lights of Cornwall for a wild night out is a lovely thought.

Kate

Oh Margie, good point, we've all forgotten about his poor girlfriend!!

GeoffHamer

This post has achieved something remarkable: I find I cannot disagree with "m_kingdom2". The original post was one of the most idiotic I've seen for a long time.

ssachida

I'm so, so , so sorry for you partner.

Beatchick

I see the picture now:
You've griped and griped to your girlfriend about how boring the place was, making her feel bad for her choice and you get no sympathy from her.

SO

You come here to gripe about it to us.

I'm sorry, dude, you get no sympathy from me.
