windermere

Re: windermere solution

i agree. If they reduced the speed limit to 5knots it wd be twice as good i reckon, and four times as good if they banned boats altogether.

in fact i reckon it wd be even better and MILES more peaceful if they drained windermere and had a large undulating field with a bit of a stream down the middle and no boats at all, especially seeing as all the boaters (especially the motor boaters) are obviously tasteless tax cheats.

Esp irritating for local authority is that the boaters obviously NEVER go on arduous walks wearing walking boots and rucsacs which is what they are supposed to do in the lake district and just look at the axshul lakes from afar as on a grimy mountain walk partaken of northern types who invariably say Ayoop or Morning to each other when passing each other on the fells and hopefully behave like A Wainwright with their mates and say ooh look see that's Windermere in the distance i think - and another member of the walking group say oh no its elterwater innit see cos that's Pillar and see that there is wastwater see and look here is the map etc etc and hence are NOT rich gits in boats, who obviously are southerners let's face it can so they can all bog off back down south in their flippin german cars jeez day trippers eh here today gone tomorrow, bloody tourists just have NO IDEA etc etc tsk tsk. Of course, it is ENTIRELY down the the local authority that all those million tourists turn up. If there was no LDNPA, then obv NOBODY wd go to the lakes, EVER. So, nobody local better complain else they will all go bust, and nobosy touristy better conplain else they will get banned, perhaps.
 
Re: windermere solution

most people who go to the lakes are southeners except if you live in Carlisle

boat registrations were down 12000 in 6 months.


[/ QUOTE ] oooerr. I reckon that should be 1200. There were only about 8000 in total and more than half of those are on jetski/ski boat trailers in gardens in Bolton.

We'll never know the damage because the whole of the British tourist industry is hurting this year what with financial worries, terrorism, bad weather (at least the BBC's version of our weather up here) etc. etc.
We love visitors from the South. Send more!

Boat on the lakes.Walk on the fells (if you see TCM on Great Gable, say "Ayoop")
 
ayoop

Much to cockney kids amusement ("what does "let's be 'aving yer" mean, dad?") we tried increasingly bizarre greetings to other walkers, staring off with "mornin" and progressing to "Ow" and "Reet" and finally "eyoop" or even "eyoop mornin" from son #2 wearing a flat cap. Yes, a flat cap which he wears with some style i must say, and huge kudos at pub stops where lots of olde locals were NOT wearing flat caps. Pix to follow...
 
Re: ayoop

This way its "aw roit thin" if you're lucky or " Fak Orf". At one time I compiled a local lexicon with suitable translations, compiled from some of our, often aggressive youth (male and female); some of the contributions I remember - Gerrorf!, Joowoni?, Alitcha! - Civilising Northerner and H.O.(English) D.,Ret'd.
