Green Man	Blame TikTok for a lot of it, Hedda, I don't live far from the Cotswolds (60 min drive), tourists have no idea that ordinary people live there. I read in their local paper that the Japanese people think real hobbits live in the tiny homes. Not forgetting tourists trying to open and gain access to the house as they think it's some sort of fairyland. Stonehenge is probably the UK's biggest cash cow when it comes to tourism. Are people going to the Peak District because they saw someone do it on TikTok? www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz0119xgzxyo
hedda	I'm so pleased I did so much sight seeing in the 70s and 80s. I recall visiting Stonehedge and it was basically empty of tourists. I remember going to the Coliseum in the late 70s and there were just a handful of tourists plus heaps of cats.Now you have to queue to get in. They say there are long queues just to see The Little Mermaid in Denmark. I live in a pretty famous beach side suburb which was once considered a bit of slum when my parents bought the flat in the 60s for a miniscle price. Now it's packed even in Winter with a sea of people everywhere & nightmarish car parking.

You are like an ex girlfriend who can't let go.
