fair comment, however it is important to maintain accuracy. as an Englshman I am aware of the strong diffrence between cornwall and devon, particularly as many cornish people dont regard themselves as english, they once had a seperate langauge up until 1768, "Barrington's brother, Daines Barrington, searched for speakers of the Cornish language and at Mousehole found Dolly Pentreath, a fish seller of 76 years of age, who "could speak Cornish very fluently". ... Pentreath, who died in 1777, is popularly claimed to be the last native speaker of Cornish".true the language has been recreated, the devon cornwall thing is abit like like cork and kerry, the facts are cyrils roots are devon and hampshire and royal navy, he was undisputedly english not cornish
