Cornwall? They're lucky you didn't come back dressed as a Morris dancer!

I used to threaten my wife's son with his daughter being given a roll of Disney Princess stickers and his golf clubs - unless he took them home and kept them there
The kid was too good and would never do it!
I eventually took them to the charity shop when she was selling the house - he hasn;t missed them yet and it was over 8 years ago!!!

Our local "recycling centre" seems to be 50% old golf clubs by mass; the mind boggles at what these originally cost and is suggestive of what a pointless pursuit this is..

Reminds me of standing looking out over a marina near the Isla of White with a bloke I grew up with.
We were waiting for his wife and kids to return from shopping and were just talking.
we started to add up an estimated cost of all the boats in front of us based on evidence from a nearby "For Sale" board and wild guesses
the total was staggering
He also commented that when he goes down there in mid summer most of the same boats are there - in fact even more as a lot over-winter in boat yards
but generally do very little involving moving except for maybe a week a year or so.
What a massive waste of money!
at least - in most cases
Indeed... while I'm not shy of spending money on decent gear, it seems some things in life only exist as perpetual money pits for those with endless funds / more money than sense..

To simulate the effects of owning a yacht, stand in a cold shower while chain cutting £20 notes up.

Quite similar to owning horses … stand naked in a rainstorm dropping house bricks on your foot while setting fire to £20 notes …

even worse with wooden boats
definition of a wooden boat
"A hole in the water surrounded by planks - into which the owner pours money"
I used to have a little book full of boating/yachting quote like that - wish I could find it again!

The best boat to be on is someone else’s.

The only reason Line Dancing was invented was to give Morris Dancers something to laugh at.The best known form of Morris Dancing comes from the Cotswolds, not from Cornwall
