well, to answer your question in specific, have a look at FeWo-direkt[^]. Being in german should save you a few troubles.

Isn't all the restaurants i Padstein having the same owner?
But as you say, even the fish'n'chips was excellent. First time I've had it with lemon sole.

IIRC Rick Stein has 9 of them, but there's also Nathan Outlaw (2*), and Paul Ainsworth (1*) in the local area, as well as a bunch of good ones without stars.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well if it's on the internet it must be true.

Om;y by devonians who moved over the border. :P
Emmets means 'ants' in Cornish.
Grockles was invented fairly recently in Devon and caught on.
(As a Devonian I can assure you your source is 100% reliable )

Rowing caravans? No wonder they're so slow!

Griff's suggestions are well worth looking at, and most of the propertieds tend to be of good quality. There are great beaches on both coasts of Cornwall, and nowhere is too difficult (or far away) to get to in a few hours. Depending on when you plan to go the roads can become seriously overcrowded.

Thank you for this. I think I will be there in beginning of September, this also in the hope other "grockles"/"emmets" are then allready back home

It should be a little better then as the schools reopen after the summer holidays. And, with luck, you will still get some good weather.

That is what is so wonderful about British weather: you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Quote: you never know what tomorrow will bring You mean the choice between (rainy and windy) or (windy and rainy)?
Both are very ok for me

Consider south west wales, Pembroke. Its sodding beautiful, cheaper, and much less popular than cornwall, so the roads arent jam packed all the time.
Seriously, its well worth going.

Sounds also good. Just had a look on Google maps and then.... "Cork" appeared on the map. I have really great memories on Cork, visited it before something about 30 years

Lightning hit in backyard and knocked power out at house yesterday.
Even though we had items in surge protector we lost:
1 cable modem
1 wifi router
1 directv box
1 ps4
Bummer.
What is interesting is there was a TV plugged into the same surge protector as the direcTV box and the ps4 and the TV survived.
Possibly additionally interesting is that none of them show any outward signs of damage or any smell or anything. I also tested the power supplies they use (except internal PS4 one) and they all work fine.
None of the items will power up -- none of their power lights light up. Nothing.
I was wondering how this could happen -- since the house is well-grounded and we had valid surge protectors. I read this interesting article which explains it:
Lightning Myths - Surge protectors and UPS devices provide total lightning protection :: Storm Highway Weather Library[^]
|

In which order were they attached to the surge protector? So, was the TV last in line?
Also, don't surge protectors offer some sort of guarantee that they'll replace items? However, pretty sure they are not intended to protect from a lightning strike.
