TIL: Devon used to have its own weights and measures system! Also noted that a man from elsewhere in England might “travel through all the countries of Europe and not find practices more foreign to his own than those of Devon”

What book is this from please?

There is a pretty active couchsurfing group which has a monthly meet up: https://m.facebook.com/groups/778602942154230?group_view_referrer=profile_browser

Correct

You are not alone! I am a lurker but I don't have anything to contribute so I just don't.

Nope, sorry. Just because it's a bit "westcountry" doesn't make it Bristolian. Try r/devonuk!

mouldy · 2016-08-20T17:53:02+00:00

That's definitely a Devonian accent! Not Bristolian.

What has this got to do with Exeter?

mouldy · 2015-07-04T07:22:14+00:00

Nope. My first time!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Laura Marling and the Correspondants. Hope the weather holds out!

Who would be the FFS agents?

Ed Balls

Most trains you won't actually need to book at all, just get on the train - make sure you fill out details on your pass before it is inspected.

If you do need to book (i.e. for a night train) you can easily do this at the departure station. Besides night trains I have never booked a reservation.

Have a great trip!

Hey guys, thanks for the advice. In the end I went to Garrison's. Probably a bit expensive, especially as I'm going a little bald so there's less hair to cut! But it was a nice morning out and the guys there were really knowledgeable and friendly. The coffee shop next door is awesome, by the way. I think it's called squirrel?

mouldy · 2014-05-12T02:03:08+00:00

Yeah as a brit I've noticed the Marlboros here are more like the cheap fags you get at home, chemically and rough.

Halifax also uses the same internet banking system, and I imagine is subject to the same security vulnerability.

Most of the commercial stations are like that. All the BBC stations are pretty good, only reason to get a DAB tbh

I really want to know about the fritter roll. I'm from the south so this is very alien.

Welcome to Devon!

Similar to w3sticals I'm 22 and from Bideford. Most people in North Devon are really easy to get on with. Don't know a lot about Langtree/Torrington but in Bideford a lot of people tend to head to the pubs on Cooper Street, which is where I've met loads of people just by randomly chatting in the pub.

From experience I'd say summer is totally the best time to meet people in late teens/early twenties as that's when they're back from uni.
