Used to be my 'ansom.  Now it's St Ozzell (Austell to foreigners), just next door.  It is lovely down here with a slower pace of life but with all amenities - great beaches, friendly people and no traffic jams (apart from the A30 on Summer Saturdays).  We also have one of the highest densities of water fed pole window cleaners in the country  :D.

Still got smugglers down there. Most of my earnings have been smuggled out of the house without the missus knowing. She still thinks I'm paying for a gardiner and can't understand why (she cuts the grass).  ::)
