I'm reminded of the story of the museum attendant who was overheard telling a visitor that a certain artefact was a million and eight years old and, when asked how he knew its age so precisely, explained that it had been a million years old when he'd first come to work at the museum, eight years earlier :-)
I like how Brythen is very pointedly spurning the dog-unfriendly beach: "Stupid beach, anyway."
I wonder if prospective residents of Looe have to pass a test first, to assess their resilience in the face of an endless lifetime hearing the same few jokes.
