"If all these people complaining about ‘never setting foot in Cornwall again’ never actually set foot in Cornwall again it would be an absolute blessing. "

Sounds like a campaign for twexit is needed - encouraging the twits to leave.

"...when we got back, my neighbour put the money in the machine. He got the ticket and the machine said it was approved. Bless him, he hasn't twigged yet. 

"'ere, Brian how much did you put through that thar parking machine?"

[The parking company] has made no apology for issuing holidaymaker David Watt with a fine every day during his [twelve day] stay in Polzeath.

The Newquay firm said that, even by Mr Watt's own admission, he had not paid to stay even for a very short time at the Sea View car park at the North Cornwall seaside town where he has been holidaying regularly for 40 years - which the company said amounted to theft.
