can I be part Cornish too I lived between Lauceston and Liskeard for 5 years and worked all over the county for the PCT miss it dreadfully, hey traffic here is not so bad at least you have beautiful countryside to look at while in the queue state highway one does not do that for me!

I reguarly see 2 cars on the North shore with Kernow badges and it makes me homesick are you one of them?

Cornish boy here - I was the chap that wrote a letter to CCC about them not investing in a stadium for Cornwall - disgusting.

Anyway.. not the point, I'm from Illogan!!!! Couldn't get much closer to Portreath, right? Currently living on the Shore - Milford. You?

Practically neighbors Davros! (in Cornwall & NZ!). We used to live in Milford but up in Dairy Flat now. How long have you been here? (good letter by the way)

I love Cornwall, have fond memories of my time spent at Tregothnan,

In 1999 I tried to buy the Sea Point House hotel in Mevagissey but the owner was genuinely interested in selling at the time.

If I had to live in the UK it would either be Devon or Cornwall.

Hi Justcol,

<snip> nopes I have decided.

Tried to buy one of their pasties from Albany New World at the weekend but they only had the yucky Tiber ones. I will be looking for them again this week, I can't wait to try them!

Last edited by BEVS; Aug 21st 2012 at 6:38 am. Reason: I love Cornish pasties too. Even as a Dorset girl.

Why do I keep having bits snipped out of my posts? (I'm new to all this and a bit confused!)

Two snips in total.
Read rule 9 and then take it to PM - private message.

ps - I do understand you wanting to up your exposure. The way to do that is to simply post without promoting in any way.

Get 'em to join and post a few general type posts. You know the drill. They can stick their webby thing in their signature as you know.

It can all help to spread the word & be good for us to read their stuff along the way.
