I have 2 girls aged 2 and 6. I would love to move to somewhere like Padstow, Wadebridge but also looking at St Austell or Looe but I don't really know these areas at all. I'm very undecided at the moment so any advice would be a great help.

We don't count as Cornish, we don't count (and don't want to count) as Devon. I struggled with this as a child for years, that we weren't 'proper' somehow. High time that sort of thing stopped, methinks.

I have a friend who grew up in Londonderry, and they have a similar problem; not 'proper' Irish, not hardcore Northern (i.e. Belfast). No matter how much trouble they caused, it never made the telly compared to whatever happened in Belfast and they grew up thinking they were second-class terrorists. Now it's not quite as serious here, but I do think it's a good opportunity to nip this tendency in the bud. So good for you for pointing out that the whole 'if it's not west of Cambourne it doesn't count' posture is counter-productive. We're the right side of the river, and surely that's the measure?
