Thanks John! I wouldn't have said so, but some of the guys down here can get mightily patriotic if the mood takes them.

A patriot loves his country.
A nationalist hates everyone else's country.
What do you call people like this who hate their own?

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. And it's all perspective relativism. To these people, Cornwall is their country, not England. I may not agree with their extreme view, but it's their view nonetheless and they have a right to hold it. Cornwall has had a national identity at least as long as Wales (not sure about Scotland). And was seen as discrete from England by the rest of the country and abroad, as late as the 16th century. It has only been with the decline of the Cornish language that this place came to be seen as part of England.

A new class of people. It reminds me of the tagline for the film Howard the Duck … a new breed of hero. Mark

I enjoyed it very much. Absolute classic of the era.  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I caught the Howard the Duck film late on ITV one night when I was a kid - even then the scene between Lea Thompson and Howard was clearly wrong on every level, but my God she looked cute  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
