Torquay
Been living here in Torquay now for almost five years. Interesting place, the locals are mainly white and keep to themselves.
Things do certainly move at a slower pace around here. Always noticed that since the day we moved here. Not surprising really for a chap like me who comes from Southall, West London
Anyone on here ever visited Torquay?

Stayed in a hotel there once - awful place. Come breakfast time, the waiter got my order completely wrong, got paella instead of porridge. The proprietor came out and slapped him round the head, explaining to me that he was from Barcelona.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

I really can't remember now, it was the seventies. I remember being disappointed with the view from the bedroom window - no Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and no herds of Wildebeest sweeping majestically past

I imagine your restaurant and takeaway options became somewhat restricted.

Not really. Plenty enough decent takeaway shops locally. The Cod & Chips is marvelous! But Hi-Fi shop options here is awful....extinct! Years ago Torquay would had some lovely Hi-Fi shops.
But you never know what the future brings, eh!

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
