I find the style of the travelogues that prevails in the
weekend papers increasingly irritating. They could, at least, get the factual
bits right.
Writing in Guardian Travel on 24/6/18, Genevieve Fox “took
the broad-gauge train for all of the three-minutes from St Ives up the track to
Carbis Bay.” Really? Isambard would be pleased to hear that his big idea has
made a come-back.
St Ives is “…..no different to any other British seaside resort
that combines nostalgia and stylish consumerism. I’m thinking of Rock across
the water……” Across the water? I wouldn’t try that one in a rowing boat any
time soon.
