A survey in the Guardian newspaper has shown that the majority of Cornish people identify as Cornish rather than British or English. The article states that ”Another 1,309 people chose other, particularly in Cornwall, where there is a home rule and Cornish language movement …The eastern edge of the “other” dots in the south-west of England closely follows the line of the Tamar river, the historic boundarybetween Cornwall and the rest of England.”

For shame on you for not including Cornish as an option. Not so long ago we in Wales had to tick “Other” to show our existence in a British Census, why should another people suffer the indignity of being ignored in this manner – especially be supposedly enlightened, liberal people at the Guardian. Hopefully you’ve learned something now!
