This and many others lost cars to the sea as they were too lazy to walk to the beach especially in Kernow.

Proper job. Great place the South Hams

I assume their insurance will pay-out for the vehicle, unless the company will claim negligence?

If I am not mistaken, emergency services won't/can't claim for their services (in obvious circumstances of negligence) because their is a concern that people needing assistance may hold off on calling due to the costs involved. However, this may have changed and may only apply to certain services?

However, it does make me wonder why someone would park their car in a tidal area and who carries the cost of replacement and recovery.

As the insurance company stated to me last year, at renewal time, when they said "premiums have gone up due to vehicle claims" and when I responded with 'but I haven't claimed' and their reply was but other people have and those claims are going up each year.

Your thoughts are echoed here Simon.
I can only assume the "entitled" think no further than the immediacy of getting to the beach, not about how the tidal system works or why is the beach so clean

p.s. Heather's Polo GTI premium went down to £166 this year - I don't understand it..

Both Morgan's heading North..

The Mog insurance fell 18% this year.

Perhaps they were going to/coming from the Oyster Shack? Local knowledge + a good tide table always an advantage. Either way - a memorable trip and meal out ruined!

Sorry no sympathy for this lazy, likely illegal parking especially during spring tides.

Twas ever thus Richard. Grockles were always getting caught out in Devon when I lived there.

There is a guy in Cornwall on a mountain bike with bugle that people call in to play the last post as the tide comes in 😎
It’s a new spectator sport down there attracting crowds as the jungle telegraph swings into action.
