A Mini driver has been called out for parking in a river just two weeks after locals slammed 'idiot' tourists for deciding to park on the sand. Freyja Pither, from St Dominick, Cornwall, was rowing down the Calstock River when she spotted something out of the blue. It seems that a holidaymaker decided to visit the village and park in a peculiar spot in Calstock. "I don't know the back story for sure but there is a small private slipway in that area which probably had something to do with it," the 17-year-old explained. "When it was spotted, the windscreen wipers were ironically still going. I'd imagine though it was an emmet, Cornish slang for tourist, because us locals know the river! It was amusing to say the least. I can't say anyone was surprised as we have had multiple cars stuck on beaches or swamped. We usually get a few but this year was bad, including three Audis at once stuck on the beach at Newquay." In a picture shared by Freyja, the blue Mini can be seen submerged in the river, with the water almost reaching the windows, which are wound down. Louise, Freyja's mother, said: "That is the only picture my daughter took as she was rowing past and got a good angle. It was not in a harbour just a lower road in the village. Most tourists are fine and just want a nice holiday, it's the odd few that are entitled idiots, driving on beaches." Earlier this month Connor Duffy, 33, a chef from Newquay, Cornwall, was left baffled when he spotted the vehicles drive onto Towan Beach. Thousands of tourists visit the area every year, but locals aren't always best pleased with how they treat their town. Despite there being plenty of parking){kind=link}
