obby oss - May day celebration in Padstow cornwall

[what..the?]

Has anyone been? What was it like? Is it just a load of morris dancers and a guy in a suit trying to feel up women? Is there anything else to do except be ripped off by Rick Stein?

Its just an excuse now for a drinking binge.

[what..the?]

just for the record i went the day before mayday to padstow and the locals werent very friendly or welcoming to outsiders even though I am from cornwall so even though I was booked to stay 3 nights a left within a couple of hours I didnt fancy staying. If they dont want my money I dont mind spending it somewhere else like looe they are really friendly there.

We have a neighbour who is a street entertainer, he came home with his face painted half white and half black and a hat with feathers and stuff sticking out of it at Easter. Haven't had chance to talk to him he seems to work odd hours.

Like it in Padstow haven't been for a while, since Rick took over there anyway. You pay through the nose for that posh nosh of his.
