I came across this article in the Daily Mail whilst sat in a Cafe Nero in London (away with work) and thought; "aaah excellent some good coverage for Salcombe". How wrong I was. Now I know I should not expect much more from the Daily Mail and here I'd like to make it clear that it was left in the cafe and I DID NOT BUY IT!
The entire article does Salcombe a complete disservice and puts it in a light that none of us wants to see it put in. The whole tone of the article is pompous and arrogant. The South Sands hotel comes out of it ok but the rest of it makes Salcombe sound like a an idiots enclave.
I love the fact that Salcombe attracts all types but the image of upper class wannabees clad in v-neck sweaters and polo shirts is ridiculous and untrue, the journalist is getting us confused with Thurlstone! And if I was "Moonraker Mike" (do people really call him that?) I would be suing the journalist for me making me look like an utter tit.
If anyone is reading this blog after reading the Daily Mail article I urge you to ignore it and come and see what Salcombe is really like; I can guarantee you that it isn't remotely like this article makes out.
