Subject: RE: Folklore: Cornish Pasty to be a protected species.
Dear Alan,

Arsenic on the outside crust of the pasty, not the inside, which is why they throw the crust away. They hold it by the crust so they don't ingest the arsenic... until they lick their fingers!

Dioxins were only around Camelford and that was years ago, some of us, in fact most of us didn't drink the water.

Radon can be dreadful but I live on the moors and don't have a hint of it in my house and I have been tested [so's the house]and neither do many places in Cornwall

So perhaps we aren't all 3 headed monsters looking for independence or about to commit suicide.. although I do know one or two who would fit that bill!!! :-)
