Or Corns, Faux Celts, Kernowists - whatever your collective noun is.

You are next to wall once we bin the noisy, expensive* and historically inaccurate Scots.

What do we have to do to get rid of you? We gave them them missile boats, coke, money and more money. I suggest if we put a job lot order for your "not really a meat and potato pie in a badly made pie" pies and a couple of slabs of super strength cider will you ever feck off and stop pretending anyone wants to learn Cornish....?




* I know - I couldn't resist - yes I know it's like taking candy from a baby**. Yes I know it's all very earnest and of course Wiggles fault.

edited to add

** No not a Scottish baby of course - Alco pops and crack from a Scottish Baby.

What would Thora Hurd do?

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    I was hoping for more swivel eyed biting . . . .

    Obviously the West country lot are too laid back and the Scots' ASBOs are restraining their baser urges.....

    Proper baiting requires a touch of subtelty. Not your strong point perhaps? :wink:

    Yeah, I got confused too. I thought you were saying that Aspalls was from Cornwall. You weren't though. Glad that's all cleared up.

    I lived in Cornwall for a year
    + Great countryside, great walks, and probably would have been great MTBing if I knew what it was at the time
    - Bl**dy aweful weather in winter and furkin miles from anywhere and it takes an age as the roads are a branch of Islam (Shiite).

    ++ Spingo's beer from the Blue Anchor in Helston (hope they still make it!)
