Anything for a real pasty

As you're in Falmouth pop down to the W.C. Rowes at Trago Mills end and ask for Leanne. It'll surprise the hell out of SWMBO.

Just found out i cant change shift on Saturday,so wont be able to make it

Octygone · 21-04-2008, 07:05

I will be keeping my eye on this fuel shortage thing and see how it goes during the week but at the moment it's not looking good and I don't want to waste a whole tank of fuel in one day and then not be able to get any more

Stuart_J · 21-04-2008, 07:49

5. devonutopia (possibly not)
6. Big Si
7. SimonJ
8. Leeland(will try and make it)

MissPiggy · 21-04-2008, 13:12

just talking to si and he said to avoid cambourne as it is shut as it is a special day there!!

leeland · 21-04-2008, 20:03

It shouldn't effect it, we bypass camborne on A30, everyone will be in local roads.

Still not sure if I'll be there, family down, but might make a dash for freedom, perhaps meet down at Perranporth.

Main car park? They're charging now, £2-3 I think.

Guess you'll be there by 2:30- 3pm

Hope to see you there, bring cameras, nice to see some pics if I don't get there.

devonutopia · 23-04-2008, 23:28

Looks like I'm not going to be able to make it.

Rats!

Octygone · 24-04-2008, 06:59

Just a thought.....where is the cheapest fuel in Cornwall......still at the Asda near Falmouth?

Indeed it is - however the little private garage in Connor Downs is giving it a good run for it's money. (We'll be meeting up near Connor Downs).

4x4t · 25-04-2008, 18:01

See you tommorow.Who is definetely going to be there?

SWMBO and junior 4x4t are also with me.

Octygone · 25-04-2008, 18:03

We should be there as this fuel thing seems to have backed off a bit

Octygone · 25-04-2008, 20:00

OOPS spoke too soon......looks like the panic buying has started and there are a lot of petrol stations already out of fuel

I'll be watching the news and make my mind up later.....

what are the queues/stations like in Cornwall

djswivel · 25-04-2008, 21:54

Not too bad, I've yet to see a queue that's been longer than normal at any of the local petrol stations.

I'll definitely be there with a mate.

Octygone · 26-04-2008, 06:02

Must be mad .....

will be leaving in the next hour with a car full ........see you all later at the brewers fayre at Hayle 2pm (I take it thats the one just off the A30 coming into Hayle .... near maccy D's)

SimonJ · 26-04-2008, 07:06

Not going to be able to make it, sorry.

Was hoping to be able to meet a few new faces. Sorry again.

4x4t · 26-04-2008, 18:01

Octygone · 26-04-2008, 21:30

Didnt think they would make it that far

.Homemade ones were lovely didnt eat until 8.30.It takes hours to do the veg and make the pastry.They were very nice though.Worth the wait.
