Bizzare group of travellers!?

« on: August 02, 2012, 10:15:33 »

For the last few years i have witnessed a large number of Hasidic Jews travelling to Penryn in Cornwall. Yesterday was the start of this 'exodus' again and some 200 -300 were seen again on this journey. Can anyone shed any light on why they go there??? Seems a very strange place to holiday?? And in such great numbers??? Needless to say chaos at Truro on arrival of each train with them all on!!

as above there is a jewish convention at Tremough. Falmouth and Penryn dont see more than single figures of jewish people all year, then hundreds all turn up for this convention. Good for cultural diversity in an area where there is little cultural diversity normally
