Les :(


That was Helford, the fishermen wanted to build a jetty to save having to drag their catch up the beach. The 2nd home owners were up in arms though as it would spoil the look of "their" picturesque village.

Money talks unfortunately:(

Some guy started a campaign to get people to boycott the site claiming the site was racist.

The reason behind this was because we didn't include a Cornish flag, I didn't even know Cornwall had its own flag.

So did you pop it in as a simple GIF or just put 'em in their place!!!

On the way to work one morning we saw some masked cornish freedom fighters spraying over the English rose on a tourist information board. Proper job that'll show them pesky English:D

Im cornish and i cant say i hate people coming down here, alot of the tourists who come down dont seem to be able to stick to one side of the road and so on tho! when ur taking back roads and come across a plonker in the middle of the road, who then tries to pull in abit an hits a hedge like it jumped outta nowhere!

Apart from that and the fact some try to talk down at you like you are thick or something, then it doesnt bother me!

I think years ago there was some sort of battle between the cornish and 'england' it may be something to do with that?
