  1. As a Cornishman in Australia. I'll admit I twitched at starting off the story of England with the Roman invasion. If anything, that really should have been the start of the Welsh story.

  2. As a Cornishman in exile, I'm also interested.

  3. So I'm Australian Cornish through my father. My mother is from new Zealand (her family was among the first Europeans to get there) He used to take jabs at her for being English. A few years before he died, he bought her a DNA kit as a "present" and they both did it. When he found that she was 0% English (her family came from Ireland before hitting England) while he was 4 percent was a happy day for her.

  4. Bit of trivia: This is celebrated in New Zealand, but isn't in Australia. Reason is because new Zealand became a Protestant place that only had free settlers, while Australia took a couple of generations to drop the criminal record requirement on our immigration policy.

  5. Also, trees full of oil and bonfires. What can go wrong?
