Hello From Torquay

Ahoy! As soon as I saw Torquay thought straight to Fawlty Towers:

 

# Basil Fawlty: This is the view as far as I can remember... Yes... Yes, this is it.

# Mrs. Richards: When I pay for a view, I expect to see something more interesting than that.

# Basil Fawlty: That is Torquay, madam.

# Mrs. Richards: Well, that's not good enough.

# Basil Fawlty: Well, might I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...

# Mrs. Richards: Don't be ridiculous. I expect to be able to see the sea.

# Basil Fawlty: You can see the sea. It's over there between the land and the sky.

# Mrs. Richards: I'd need a telescope to see that.

# Basil Fawlty: Well, might I suggest you move to a hotel closer to the sea.

# Basil Fawlty: Or preferably in it.

# Mrs. Richards: Now listen to me. I'm not satisfied, but I've decided to stay here. However, I shall expect a reduction.

# Basil Fawlty: Why? Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

 

Anyway, welcome!

That last line cracked me up :D.

 

Welcome Torbay Blue.
