Writing for yesterday’s Sunday Crimes Lifestyle insert, Lin Sampson had two lists of things: one that we should pay attention to (Underrated) and one that we should forget (Overrated).
Of course the only one that resonated with me was the following one in the Underrated list:
- Port Elizabeth, which has the best beaches in the world.
May I please, Lin, add one other to the Underrated list?
- Lin Sampson, for being an astute observer of the obvious and having the courage to publish said observation.
Of course, we are in jeopardy of losing Blue Flag status to our beaches as a result of numbskull, nincompoop management of this vital tourist attraction.
Let us know below what else you think is underrated.
The following two tabs change content below.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth.
Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
