'Dartmeet' (a south-western paradise, or it used to be)
St. Ives
Michaels Mount
Penzance (love the 'Lido')
Zennor
Torquay
Plymouth
Looe
Bude
Polperro
Boscastle
Tintagel

Sheer luxury. I wonder if we can persuade Sam (& his wife ) to hire a plane & fly down for the weekend

Just what do they teach in Geography these day??? :lol:

Still. You're not too far from the truth.
Originally a meal for Miners (& other manual workers), as it's
Pre-cooked
In its own wrapper, therefore no waste
Fairly hard-wearing (when left)
Some derivatives (for posh people) had differant fillings in each end. A meat/vegetables in one end, & perhaps jam in the other

Sad git that I am, I've just found The History Of The Cornish Pasty :lol:  :lol:  :roll:

But that's whay Cov has two, the Lanch was a poly when I started there. Have almost managed to escape.

Oh, I suppose your list should have included London, as City Uni* is separate from the University of London, but then it depends what you class as london.

Regards

Andy

I was there once as well

Does that make Nottingham extra special as it has two universities and each has a school of agriculture - although neither are that close to the city?
