Cape Tormentine
A nearly abandoned town on the Atlantic Coast. Prior to the opening of the Confederation Bridge to PEI it was a booming town due to the ferry service running to PEI which provided many jobs for the people and helped its economy. When the bridge was finished and opened in 1997 the ferry service was shut down and over 600 people lost their jobs as a result. Faced with no jobs most people were forced to leave the town and find employment elsewhere. Most of the ferry terminal and wharf structures were dismantled as well as most of the buildings in the town except for a few which are slowly decaying. It is essentially a ghost town now except for the last holdouts,fishermen and a crumbling wharf and a few buildings left to tell of what once was.

Boffin
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
