You'd be forgiven for thinking that nothing much happens in Probus. Once upon a time it was on the main road to Truro but since being bypassed over 20 years ago, it's stuck out on a limb in the hinterland between Cornwall's capital and St Austell. One customer travels all the way from Dawlish in Devon to buy Trudgian's bangers - that's how good they are. Read more... ...

Gumtree or E-Bay might be a good place to start. Also details of the actual guitars might be handy rather than just saying one was in a yellow case and one was in a black case!

What amazes me more than anything is there was a police car in Dawlish willing to actually stop in the town. A rare occurrence to be sure.

The government wont be happy until every emergency service is placed in a few central hubs with zero satellite support locations and then it will all be auctioned off to private enterprise to the highest bidder, in my opinion.

And a few pics of the cars on The Lawn for the Jubilee a whileago.
