IF you believe that genetic studies show that the English are the same, genetically, as the Cornish, and you believe that that means that the Cornish and the English are of the same "stock", then all that means is that those from "north of the border" chose to identify as English (Saxon) for reasons best known to themselves, and the Cornish are only being honest by saying that they are not.

"Everyone has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small, no one is too old or too young to do something."
No genetic study that I am aware of has suggested this.
North of the border? North? How many English are in the sea off our north coast? Best place for 'em, I suppose...
If you are having problems with your 'Easts' and 'Norths' (and I remember a former Grand Bard - Ann Jenkin - who once made a similar directionally challenged remark) then nip into Penrose's in Truro. They do nice, inexpensive hikers' compasses.
I have had many an interesting debate with some on the BBC boards who would suggest that your knowledge is lacking, However, for the record, note the big IF used.
Its all a matter of starting point, for example, if we were standing in Harewood, or Gunnislake, then I would be correct, and you would be wrong. However, I apologize for using a form of shorthand that could be misinterpreted, but from where I am, virtually everything is "North" as opposed to "South", so again maybe I was right all along. Your nit picking is telling.

Sorry, been in "conversation" on the BBC boards, and carried my "weariness" (if that's the right word) with me.
I wonder how long before this post is being quoted over there?
By the way, would you all please say hi to YC, he is too shy to join in at the moment, but loves to read, and quote, from this forum, over on the BBC board.
HI YC.
