Don't sit on the fence, Digger! Why don't you openly campaign for the re-introduction of bear-baiting and cock-fighting?

illuminated sign

Could someone please inform me what the illuminated sign in the foreground of the webcam image refers to? It may seem a minor detail, but as I rely on it for views of the town I love, I have become quite obsessional about it. I never saw a limey look with such a wistful eye upon that little webcam p...

illuminated sign

Could someone please advise me what the illuminated sign in the foreground of the webcam picture refers to? It may seem a minor detail, but when someone who loves CVO so much has to rely on a webcam to give a flavour of the town, matters can become quite obsessional! I never saw a limey look with su...

Illuminated Sign

Please could someone tell me what the illuminated sign in the foreground of the webcam picture refers to. It may seem a minor detail, but when one has a love affair with a particular Portuguese town but only has a webcam to observe the passage of time, one tends to become obsessional about such thin...

security fiasco

Well, there's your answer, Mr Bin Laden! If you want to confuse every bobby in sight, and earn yourself the reputation of killing one or more of the British Royal Family, dress up as Humpty Dumpty, Mr Blobby or Peter Pan, and then scale the walls of Buckingham Palace with some Semtex in your pocket....

Thoroughly Ashamed to be British

I feel I should labour the point somewhat. If the patronizing folk who scribe on this page would care to consult their British passports, they will see that there is no such nationality as English, Welsh, Northern Irish or Scots (and even less, Scottish!). I'm afraid that we will be viewed and judge...

Thoroughly Ashamed to be British

As a law-abiding Brit, I'm thoroughly ashamed of my nationality. The chances of being welcomed back by the kind and gentle people of the Algarve in order to visit their lovely country must have diminished greatly as a result of the mindless thuggery of those so-called English fans who were intent on...

SMILERS RESTAURANT

When will the lovely Smilers lady be opening the restaurant for trade? We keep looking for the familiar red tables, chairs and umbrellas on the webcam, but no sign of them yet. We will be in CVO next week, and as we are going on a B&B basis, I intend to enjoy her delicious mushroom omelettes. Please...

Well it all happened so quickly! The Martian Government had sent them to Earth as scouts to find somewhere hot, red and dusty where the Martian people could take their holidays, because Mars is so cold. All went well until they landed outside the ice-cream parlour, when they discovered that although...

The Martians have landed!

I told you that the Martians wouldn't take kindly to our landing a roving vehicle on their planet!

In retalliation, they have landed their "terra exploration vehicle" slap bang in the centre of CVO, just outside the ice-cream parlour. You can see it clearly on the webcam

I cannot see any festive lights within sight of the cam. Does CVO have any? (or a giant christmas tree?)
