Once again, I nearly paid the price seeing those photos while drinking my coffee! Great laugh. Thanks.

One of the best I've seen. I also like the little tikes smoking fags as well. What a wedding that must have been.

So, what traditions does your family have that should be ridiculed?

We don't do much really, being just middle class English types, very uninteresting culture we have. But if you want to feel free to take the piss.

I just cannot help but wonder if they are indeed allowed to celebrate the same way as their fathers where does it stop?

Quick lesson in basic economics.
A) Cornish fishermen are not well paid.
Second) They have no lobster pots, so how can they catch the lobsters to sell them at the inflated price?
3) Most of the cost of the Lobster is paid to the Restaurant, The Haulier, The Wholesaler etc, so a 10% increase in price would give the poor fisherman about 30p.
iv) The capital outlay is more than they could reasonably afford.
Fifthlymost) As these pots are made locally it is actually a near-zero cost to the country.

Tough, neither are lots of UK taxpayers who are being asked to foot the bill.

BS. The pots have been moved around and tangled by the storm. They need untangling and repairing.

Blah blah blah. So charge more. Period.

Bits of old car tyre and re-bar? You clearly have no idea what a lobster pot is.
And finally, Dave, you forgot the one big thing. While they aren't fishing stocks are increasing, so when they do they will get a bumper harvest. That's going to pay for any pot repairs.
Look, this is basically a bunch of crafty Cornish fishermen out to make a bit of money on the sly. Nothing new there, they used to go submarine hunting when they wanted new nets off the Navy. So don't be so gullible eh?

That they're meeting an MP in Padstow is revealing. Lunch at Rick Stein's anyone?

Yep, reckon you are right there! Something else to slap on the expenses for us tax payers to shell out for.

Because don't forget, money is no object when it comes to storm damage.
Davey-wavey said so, so it must be true, and not a quick "let's look good after ignoring it for 6 weeks and hoping it will go away before they don't vote for me at the next election" ploy.
