Funny that. Cornwall's always felt far more 'English' to me than, say, Cumbria or Yorkshire. Perhaps that's because its the first place I used to go camping as a kid.... guess it depends on what you're used to and how diverse your UK experiences have been.


Hi Gladders,

I agree with you; Cornwall has always felt very English to me. Cumbria is very much a very separate county to the country of England (should be Cumberland and Westmorland). Get to know the Cumbrians and you get to know how different they are, as in how different their way of life is, and how different their acceptance of outsiders is. I suppose they could be described as intolerant to what they call off-comers. Nowt wrong with that in my book, although the pc brigade will differ, but stuff them, as I think personal opinion shouldn't be censored. Don't forget Churchill fought for freedom, be it speech or general living.

All the best,
TE.


There was a brilliant programme on BBC2, done by Rory Stewart, a few weeks ago about the area you mention. Well worth a look on catch up if still available.
