The Cornish
The thing about the Cornish and Cornwall for that matter, is they are so honest. Cornwall doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is, its the "upcountry 'oiks" that are turning it into the pretentious place it seems to becoming. The true Cornish call a spade a spade and probably add "me 'ansome" to it too, and thats what I like about them. You cant beat a bit of good old fashioned honesty. Most of the indigenous population might not have two pennies to rub together, but they are the first to put their hand in their pockets for some good cause or other. They welcome you, perhaps somewhat suspiciously at first, but if you stand the test then in about 200 years you could become one of them. They are proud of their roots and their county and rightly so.
