Coast vs. Country (2016)
Bizarre and inaccurate descriptions!
18 March 2022
Having grown up and lived on the island for decades, with my children born here, I consider myself a local.
I was therefore bemused when the episode on the Isle of Wight informed viewers that locals call the island "Mini England" or something like that. Nobody refers to the Island like that and I have never heard that said - ever!
The presenter then described Gurnard as a small fishing village! There are no fishing boats in Gurnard, no harbour, no fishermen and nobody there has anything to do with fishing. There are no shops let alone any fishmongers etc...
Other than having a beach there is literally no connection between Gurnard and fishing and it is certainly not a 'fishing village' in any way shape or form.
What a lot of nonesense!
