Thanks Steve, I will be coming over from England as an Ambassador from Glorious Devon and to prove it, I have a pass which lets me cross the Tamar Bridge back to Devon for free!

Accommodation booked, looking forward to it very much. Still waiting on passports though, may have to swim the Tamar by night if they don't come through!!! :)

The Cornish are very, very clever. They let you in without paying but charge you £1.50 to leave if you are in a car!

But who gets the money? The Cornish? ?
You have to pay to go over the bridge into south Wales from Bristol and it's not the Welsh or the English that get the money it's the French ! Not a bridge I'd use twice I use the M50 it may work out longer some times but hey I keep my money in the UK

Sorry Steve but you could have a problem getting helpers then as some of us are involved with the Engish Heritage's national "Heritage Open Days" events. I have organised the event for the Robey Trust and if don't turn a certain member who is prone to running things over with a Tandem Roller may just decide to do the same with my BMW !! Please note, we are friends but I keep my distance when he is driving.
