Go to be a full house

Football fans in football shirts fighting over a pie, lager in plastic cups and shouts of "he's not worth it", bot bellies and tattoos

"Food critic Giles Coren sparks outrage for blasting a Devon seaside town as 'filled with day-tripping tattooed fatties' in a scathing review

Giles Coren visited Mothecombe Beach, near Plymouth, Devon, to review a cafe. He handed the eatery a positive review but launched into a tirade against locals

He wrote: 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. And whether he giveth and taketh in exactly the way that you were hoping for is not up to you.

'Only recently, for example, he tooketh away the beautiful private beach in Devon where I have holidayed for the past five Julys and gavethed it to the general public.

'And I was gutted, because I now have to share the beach with a load of tattooed fatties day-tripping from Plymouth, with their barbecues and their loud music and their tents and windbreaks and their swearing and their topless sunbathing and their rank, loutish littering."

For telling it like it is, sadly a rarity these days, Giles Coren, my hero.

BTW.In the Mail article, it's all very well that the Devonian and Cornish natives criticise the tourists and call them silly names, but where would they be without the considerable numbers that visit those fair counties? Two rural backwaters hanging off the end of the UK, that's where.

I like Corens writing but am saddened to see the use of the ubiquitous "gutted." Used by the hard of vocabulary and rather council imo. For football pundits not restaurant reviews.

Smoking next to a sign that says

"National Park - Don't Smoke! Keep our park safe from second hand smoke. Maximum fine - 2 years imprisonment , RM 50,000 fine"

with a huge no cigarette logo

in three languages - English, Malay, and Mandarin.

Then: putting out the cigarette by stabbing the sign, blowing secondhand smoke in to people's faces, and shouting "HEY!!" at foreigners when you walk past and laughing loudly.


Not to mention the one that angered me most: blowing cigarette smoke in to monkey's eyes so they screech and run away, shortening their lives in the process and damaging their natural habitats.


And these people obviously had to be tourists. fking scum

Yes, they are ridiculously noisy! I think you and I are thinking of the kind of creatures below.


Whilst canAm is thinking of this, which looks far more respectable.
Indeed. And I am old enough to remember when Motocross was called Scrambling and featured people like Arthur Lampkin who rode British bikes like BSA, Cotton and Greeves.

My mate had a Dot. At age 17, I'd ride it to the factory in Salford to get spares.

Dear God!

As if that tattoo was not bad enough, just look at those freaking eyebrows!

I mean seriously what is going on with all these class of women and those eyebrows they all seem to have or aspire to have!

I am lost for words!

There is no hope for that generation!

Dear god

DREAM holiday to that place, that hotel. Christ

There really is no hope for this generation that I'm part of! I think I buck the trend though
