Widger.
As I am sure you are aware, Cornish people haven't been able to afford Falmouth for a long time.
Helston is truly horrible as you say, but there is no need to go there. Yeovil is equally horrible however.
Weather today is glorious with less wind than yeovs.
Cheap flight from Newquay is the way out if you have to.
Simple fact is that I am currently Yeovs based, but since I am on leave, I am back on the beach in Cornwall today chtching some sun.
