Advantages: Piratical humour, songs, dance; A great operetta, good to see it re-released Disadvantages: None
the patter songs ? even making Stanley?s groan-worthy puns easy to comprehend. Owen Brannigan has a great time as the Sergeant of Police ? even introducing the expression ?? not a nappy one!? in the final chorus of his song.

Advantages: Comfortable, small and friendly. Disadvantages: Not in the city centre if you prefer to be where the action is.
We stayed at Sullivans in March 2007, and will be returning in 2009. This is a 3 star hotel and is fairly typical of the standard. It is not an up-market affair, just a comfortable, friendly hotel with lovely views over the river and the city skyline.The location on Mounts Bay Road is convenient for both the city and the surrounding areas, being on the free Blue Cat bus route. The bus stop is right outside the hotel as is the one for the main bus services. Getting to Fremantle and the local beaches is very straightforward as the hotel is on a main road out of the city. Bicycles are available for free to explore, and the freeway is close by. The hotel has a small car park but there is also a chance of parking on the road nearby.
Sullivans is very popular with Australians as well as overseas visitors. The food is good and reasonable ...
Advantages: Good transport links, usually good weather! Disadvantages: Gets quite busy during summer months.
Penzance is the primary town of West Corwall (Penwith) and is popular with locals and tourists alike. It boasts a shopping centre, leisure centre, and close proximity to many beaches such as Long Rock and Marazion.
Close by is the popular destination St Michael's Mount, and Lands End. It is the ideal place to stay during a holiday in Cornwall. Penzance also has the only seafront promenade in Cornwall, there are many things to see and do in this town. Why not go and see a show at the Acorn Theatre, or take a swim in the Jubilee Pool, a 1930s outdoor swimming pool? There is a cinema, perfect for a rainy day, and plenty of places for a nice walk on a clear day.
Due to its extreme south-westerly position, Penzance often has some of the best weather in the UK.
The town is well connected by public transport with regular train services ...
