Bit of a 70's endearment as heard it loads as a kid but not very much from the 90's onwards.
I'm obviously getting old 😂😂

Brixham is a lovely but busy place too, we're in East Devon. Just got to allow extra time to get anywhere as they drive at 40mph regardless of the speed limit too...

I have family in Cornwall. My uncle has already muttered that the ‘emits are back...!

Love this... I was born in Devon and have recently moved back after 30 odd years away and am already moaning about the grockles... also lived in Cornwall for a few years and reverted to calling them emits at the time!

Yep I’m in south Devon and the lanes are full of folk who don’t know how wide their car is. Don’t know if they are all grockles, but they sure are annoying.

Yes, some of them must think they're in a tank, so wide! And braking every time something comes towards them... 🙄
