I confess
In 1992, some idiot spray painted the word 'YOU'RE' on the 'WELCOME TO PENZANCE' sign on the A30 just outside, um, Penzance. It's still there to this day. I don't know what's sadder, my single act of grafitti twattery or the fact that no-one has got around to cleaning it off.

I also blinded (not permanently thank Fry) a German back in '83 in a twilight ski-resort based ruckus but I better not go into too much detail in case the KrautPolizei are still on the lookout. I am bad.

I have a soft spot for Penzance
I spent a weeks hols there when I was just married (about 19 years ago..) nice little hotel but the bloke who served us breakfast kept telling us about his "wife" who was cooking it. It got to the very last day and we finally saw the other person who was in the kitchen and it was a bloke. I think we finally twigged that they were a couple at that point. That all said there was this wonderful little restaurant called "Parrots of Penzance". According to all search engines I can find no trace so can only assume its star faded. There we go.

first time I drove to Penzance on my own
there was a load of traffic on the way in. While sat in the jam, some hysterical woman driving the other way shrieked at me to call the police. I waited to see what the issue was.

Turns out that a bloke had got incredibly drunk and was staggering down the busy main road with his Union Jack boxer shorts round his ankles. This was at about 11am.

Not Guilty
I don't think that was me. I don't wear any pants, you see (or rather, you wouldn't want to see)

Friendly Natives!
Back in November I drove through the old town part of Penzance, and encountered - amidst the narrow roads and speed bumps and people abandoning cars to leap into off-licences - a row of parked cars blocking my half of the road which I duly overtook, hoping not to meet anyone coming the other way.

It was only when I reached the T junction at the top that I released there was an L driver trying to do a hill start and get out onto the main road and failing. The other cars weren't parked but patiently waiting for him to get going.

One of the other drivers actually got out of his car in order to remonstrate with me, but luckily I couldn't hear him over the cackles of my passengers.
