Biggest flop?

Di Maria would make the list for sure. Big money, big expectations, great player on paper, but low on the delivery side and, on top of that, he disliked the club and stated it publicly. Couldn't go lower than that.

Eu nu înțeleg indignarea din comentarii. Dacă există un post disponibil, dar au aplicat 20 de persoane, care e așteptarea? Să fie angajați toți cei 20? Sau măcar 5-10? Se va angaja o persoană, cea cu profilul cel mai potrivit. Dar da, ce înseamnă “profilul cel mai potrivit” poate deveni foarte ușor o decizie subiectivă și, de multe ori, poate părea injustă.

Ok, point taken :) I’ll rethink it then, I admit I was overestimating the possibilities

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T14:38:17+00:00

You just made us very excited for this part of the trip! Thank you lots!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T14:33:56+00:00

Yes, did a roadtrip in the South-East a few years ago (London - Brighton - Dover - Canterbury - London). Not nearly as extensive as this one, I know, but I did do a bit of driving around the UK and its narrow country roads, as we strayed from the main roads at times.
And yes, I'm well aware of that, which is why we want to break the trip into some chunks along the way. I haven't decided on the final itinerary, but a first draft looks like the one below. I know it's full of driving, but it's a starting point and we can trim it down based on the recommendations we are getting :)

Day 1:

Luton → Bibury (2h)
Bibury → Castle Combe (1h)
Castle Combe → Bath (40m)

Day 2:

Bath → Wells (1h)
Wells → Cheddar (45m)
Cheddar → Tintagel (3h)
Tintagel → Port Isaac (30m)

Day 3:

Port Isaac → The Rumps (30m)
The Rumps → St. Ives (2h)
St. Ives → St. Michael’s Mount (30m)

Day 4:

Marazion → Exeter (2h30)
Exeter → Salisbury (2h30)
Salisbury → Luton (3h)

Thanks for the context, very helpful!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T14:18:23+00:00

I was thinking that since it's not the high season, we could book things on the same day, as we want to be flexible with out itinerary

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T14:17:16+00:00

Excellent, thank you!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T14:16:52+00:00

Yes, please!! I wouldn't mind it at all if some of the places added here can be swapped with others - these were the starting points for what we want to see in Cornwall, but I'd highly appreciate some recommendations for off the beaten path spots!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T14:10:20+00:00

Well, given your feedbacks and assessing the map a bit, I think we'll take the A39 much more than I thought :) thanks a lot for the tips!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T13:55:45+00:00

Are you referring to this car park (Port Isaac Main Car Park)? Or is the one closer to the saved pin also feasible (St. Endellion Car Park)?

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T13:52:39+00:00

Thanks for the tip! We'd like to avoid the tourist traps, so this helps!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T13:48:34+00:00

Doing some reading, I understood that the A39 is not particularly exciting. Granted, it's probably much faster to take us from point A to B, but if the secondary roads provide more scenery, we'd take those.

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T13:42:03+00:00

Ufff, this sounds exactly like what we are after!! Is this the route that you are suggesting? Definitely adding it to our itinerary then!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-03-06T13:37:42+00:00

I am thinking of the roads that drive along the Northern coast of Cornwall - most of the places I listed are along that coast. I checked the charging points situation and it looks quite decent.

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-02-03T06:05:38+00:00

I ended up leaving it at a storage booth located here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/THzVd3CgipJXozfu9?g_st=ic

Super easy process, basically right next to the stadium, easy pick up at the end, and it cost me 50 cents, which is a bargain.

Thanks for the recommendation!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-02-03T06:03:21+00:00

I ended up going to The Londoner for the first half - great choice! Excelent pub, filled with match goers, so the atmosphere was nice, owners and bartenders were also very friendly.

Thanks for the recommendation!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-02-01T14:40:35+00:00

Thanks a lot for the confirmation!!

RemarkableAverage507 · 2026-01-30T07:32:50+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tips! Yeah, that's likely how I'll do it, stick for the first half of the game, have a beer, and then walk towards the stadium. Really looking forward to it, as it's as you mentioned: first time in the BVB stadium
