Sheer Volume of LVs in Cornwall Yesterday

[IslandApe]

Guess the sticker in the windscreen (sadly). He wasn't alone, just an example I vividly remember.

Whoosh!

Assuming it isn't libellous could someone explain please?

Doh.

Thanks gus, was thinking some arcane motorhome club.

I'll not start on the abusers I know about or we will be here forever...

L.V. = Luncheon Voucher

Have to be over 50 to remember them

 

[Just smiffy]

I’ve just got my pitchfork back from the ironmongers, nice and sharp now...

Check that the 'Hold this end' label hasn't fallen off.

Do you think I’m stupid...?

I’ve learnt that several times and am expert in holding now....

Nope, a funster sticker.

What's an LV, please?

In the old days ( when Jesus was an apprentice) it was a voucher that some companies used to give to their office staff to use to buy lunch ( no canteen ) in outside cafe/restaurant

Google “Cynthia Payne” to see what other retailers accepted them.

Lived just over the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall for 12 years and never ventured out in July and August ! Work then home !

Same here, I was based out of Devonport for many years and was lucky enough to get married quarters over in Cornwall. It was a wonderful place to live as long as you spent summer somewhere else!!

Now one has to ask what is the difference between

LV = Leisure Vehicle
and
RV = Recreational Vehicle


I suppose LV is 'more laid-back man'

LV = Stiff upper lip English Gent Description.
RV = American slang.

On the radio today the Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall said that the South West was full and not to go there without a booking at the very least. He also said that emergency/rescue services are overstretched and 999 calls are 30% up on normal times.

I can concur with the medical services comment by the CC. The ambulance service and A&E in D&C are almost overwhelmed from what I could see during my visit.

I crushed my hand the other day in a garden accident, resulting in my flesh being wripped away from the fingers and leaving the tendons exposed.

My local hospital was Derriford Teaching hospital so off I trotted to get it examined by the Plastics consultant. She was absolutely fantatsic but she did mention how busy they were - the sun had brought out the masses including some stupid folk too.

It was interesting to see that a third of the Emergency Department attendees were local old folk; a third were foreigners and people from outside the county and the final third were kids of holiday makers who had broken their legs and arms while playing (I counted over a dozen of them).

The air ambulance was getting a fair few hours on its clock too.

We were there to help out my parents in law but it does go to show that holiday makers put a huge strain on local resources.

My local A&E reported that during the lockdown they have had an unprecedented increase in DIY and gardening injuries.
I've taken that on board and just sit under my cherry tree with a beer.

Which is fine as long as no one cuts the begger down whilst your sat under it.

Here’s a completely different take on it...

We spent last night in Praa Sands car park, after the previous 10 nights in W Cornwall. There were 5 vans including us. Two of the others were regulars who stay for the season each year. They are friends of the owner and were delightful people, as was the owner. We were made to feel very welcome.

Over the weekend, the wonderful site where we spent most of our time (and have been going to for the last 30 years) was almost full, but the crowd only stayed for the weekend then left. SD was observed meticulously and outside the weekends you could have had your pick of pitches.

We avoided the more famous beaches and headed for the less well-known and there was never a problem. The coast path was also very sparsely used and any walkers all showed respect and distancing to others.

It was a wonderfully relaxing break.

Crash at launceston this morning with the diversion also blocked by a lorry smash... long long delays.....
