Originally posted by Badger11 I'm surprised they didn't tell you to go back home. "Cornwall for Cornish people, no interlopers".

One of the most popular local pastimes are male voice choirs singing unaccompanied shanties and traditional songs. Think "Fisherman Friends". There are many such groups and they welcome everyone. Great to hear. The annual Falmouth sea shanty festival is a celebration of beer and singing in many pubs every night for a week. What's not to like?

The idea that the Cornish are special and somehow different from everyone else is a load of codswallop. Many Cornish left Cornwall to go to America, Canada, Australia, London or anywhere else where they could use their mining skills or seek alternative employment when their local industry declined. That means that there are probably millions of people of Cornish descent all over the place and I happen to be one of them. Despite this, the locals don't see you as one of their own unless you were born there apparently.

The prospect of sitting in a pub being regaled with tales of comely maids from up Padstow way by some horny handed individuals in cable knit jumpers smelling of mackerel would make me recoil in horror.

You can have a day pass due to your Cornish descent but then must 'go back'.

Originally posted by Spiderman So they do have ethnic minorities there Everywhere has a unique history if people care to look, Northumberland with its Viking history, Eadt Anglia with its Iceni and Roman history are 2 examples, so why do they think they are so different? There is a long history involved. Before modern transport, Cornwall was much more isolated than even today. It had its own language, a different legal system and many local traditions. Its people, being Celts, felt closer to the Welsh than the English. During the mining boom years there was a lot of coal shipped here from South Wales to power the steam engines with the ore going the other way. Then, of course, there was the Battle of Deptford Bridge in 1497, an event which probably doesn't get mentioned in history lessons in most of England but does down here. It left some scars.

They are very friendly in my experience. I understand why they want to preserve their local way of life but any talk of genetic separatism is just not realistic. There are probably more Cornish genes outside Cornwall than in it. Britain as a whole is losing its cultural identity and Cornwall's will probably survive longer than most.

There was undoubtedly a huge exodus when mining downturned and Cornish miners were in demand the world over. I believe there is somewhere in Argentina where you can buy a pasty today. People who can trace their roots to here are always welcomed back. I had some American guests a couple of years back who traced their family to a village on the Lizard, went there and enquired at the pub whether anyone with their surname still lived there. Within a very short time they found a whole bunch of new relatives and were busy working out the links. They had a hell of a party. You should try it.
