St Awful. I've got good mates that come from there, although live in a village on the outskirts now.
If you want somewhere of a reasonable size to live, and really want Cornwall, Truro is my favourite0 -
Out of interest, why did you pick SA? Might be a good reason!2

Daphne Du Maurier was inspired to write The Birds by watching the birds in fields near her home (Menabilly) in St Austell bay. I remember my only visit to St Austell I saw a nice big breakfast on a little round outdoor table of a cafe. The purchaser of the breakfast was nowhere to be seen but the seagull stomping around the table looked in the mood to kill for the hash browns and I did wonder to myself if the original owner been dispatched up an alleyway to be discovered 6 months later as an assumed victim of drug abuse. And then a few minutes later I heard someone call the town St Awful and I passed a small memorial stone (easily missed in the wall) for a burned witch at the church. After these incidents I knew I'd end up living there or somewhere near.
Shame the Op never came back - I hope he didn't go into town for breakfast."Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0 -
Probably only a worry if you're a witch ...Muttleythefrog said:I passed a small memorial stone (easily missed in the wall) for a burned witch at the church. After these incidents I knew I'd end up living there or somewhere near.
