We cannot live with that, if everyone acted responsibly it would be different.
So sorry Asturias we are NOT being unfriendly and are hoping to be open for business again soon.
Might I suggest that some of the antisocial behaviour you refer to might just be committed by Cornish people? Apart from a very few second home owners, there are small numbers of visitors to Cornwall and posts like this only reinforce the perception that no welcome awaits people when they choose to come back. Like it or not, Cornwall has developed a reputation for being the least friendly part of the UK during this crisis and I for one believe it will take quite some time for memories to fade. Sorry.
