Tacky, greedy, rude shop owners are ruining Cornish towns, a woman has claimed. Born and raised Cornishwoman Katharine Piper has described her experience visiting Looe, and says the area has totally changed since she was young.
Speaking to Cornwall Live, Katharine said it would 'soften the blow if these tacky tourist shops that plague beautiful Cornwall would at least pretend to have some fondness for you. But they don’t'.
The 41-year-old said: "As a child I remember wading through crisp packets, nappies and other unspeakables, wrapping around your legs as you waded in, suffocating your face as you resurfaced from a dive. The wretched brown water would try and force itself down your throat and you did everything to keep your mouth as tightly shut as possible.
