What The **** Has Happened to the Lake District???

So – go on – enlighten me! When did Cumbria turn into Lakedistrictworld™ ????  I admit it’s been a while since I’ve been there – bloody years in fact, and it is  still incredibly beautiful… but the towns… let me give you a scene.

Bowness on Windermere. Lovely place – or it was – so there we are sitting on the quaintest little pub patio sipping our beers surrounded by what looked like a stag do of some sort – bouncers – yup, bouncers – on the pub door, listening to some dickhead behind us describing to his mate how he chased someone down the road as he was going to “do him”. It’s Birkenhead on a Friday night. It’s Chav central. Where did Bowness on bloody Windermere go??

Let’s talk about food. £12 for 2 portions of shit awful fish and chips. A £35 curry that was beyond disgusting – I’ve had an Asda microwave curry that had more taste, and a beef roast dinner that may as well have been a Birds Eye microwave dinner that cost me £8! The Beatrix Potter Experience – or Beatrix Potter World, or whatever it was called… Sheesh! Good job the views are still good – rant over!
