Skippy starts installing random lids near to existing ones to confuse visitors.

I was thinking the latest Welsh/Mendipian conservation technique of installing fake entrance lids for people to grind locks off.

Or

Smiles all round as a Cornish caver passes their Mendipian lock/gate removal exam.


[Should add, I'm very much in favour of uninformed public dissuading measures such as lids where needed and also I have no reason to suspect the Cornish are more gate breakers than installers but being from Devon,  the odd chance to insult the Cornish is appreciated]

Given the caption and the prize offer, only someone who knows me very personally would come up with that quote 🤔👍

The judge is working on finding a winner.  Announcements to be made as soon as she can.  Sometimes other matters take priority.  Be patient please.
