I think it's a bit much to compare a natural wonder with Weston, any town is going to have trouble living up to that. People piddling in the streets doesn't just happen at seaside towns either - anyone who is that interested in beratting a town - has "issues" - we've all been there at some point, maybe he's upset because people don't laugh at his jokes anymore  ?
