Don’t tell Mike Chappell he lives in “the Southwest”. He lives in Cornwall.
That’s not “Devon and Cornwall” – as in the Devon and Cornwall Police Authority, the Devon and Cornwall Probation Area, or the Devon and Cornwall Caravan Club – just Cornwall. Devon doesn’t come before Cornwall in the alphabet, for crying out loud. When Cornwall qualified for a subsidy from the EU, it was administered by the South West of England Regional Development Agency. In Devon. Then it went and charged Cornwall for the privilege. It makes a proud Cornishman like Chappell spit.

‘a local place for local people’!! Are children born with seven toes and fur?
Dont forget the ooh ayr ay! lol
When I was a little girl my grandfather told me that if the chains of the Torpoint Ferry were cut Cornwall would float away!
I’m still trying to decide if that would be a bad thing.
