I keep telling you I am Cornish not English.
We aint in England we are attached to it. Actually we are not at all attached to it so I should say joined to it.
I am a Celt through and through born and bred in the heartland of the clay industry of mid Cornwall. In fact have very rarely ventured beyond it's borders which is why so many people are shocked about my OZ plans.
