Aww, the little Cornish boy got a nappy rash?

For your information, Corny, the FCS, as best I understand it, has little to do with being English and a lot to do with being British. Not British in the 'Where were you born?' way, either. Allow me to elucidate:

British, as according to the OED:

"1. of or relating to Great Britain or the United Kingdom, or to its people or language;
2. of the British Commonwealth"

or perhaps, shall we take Briton?

"2.a native or inhabitant of Great Britain or (formerly) of the British Empire"

You are, I believe, a native or inhabitant of Great Britain. Practically all the posters here are from nations '(formerly) of the British Empire'. This has nothing to do with being English, except in speech, and everything with being British - in body, mind and soul.

If you're really that hung up on it why not use the link at the top of the page and setup your own forum - you'll find more people there willing to listen to your hate-fuelled drivel. You should fit in nicely with the "Free Ireland from the evil, despotic British Empire" or "Liberate bonnie Scotland from the mad English" forums that I just know are out there somewhere. Hell you might even make a friend and thus not have to spend your time trying desparately to get your opinion aired in a forum where no-one wants to know.

BTW, your country, like it or not, is England or the UK. Do you honestly believe that few hundred square miles of moor and cliff could ever be anything other than an appendage. If you do I suggest you seek medical help at once.

Anyone care to estimate the GDP for an independent Cornwall (which, let's face it, would have to be calculated in Euros)?

Author: Roberdin [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:07:19 01/10/05 Mon This is a big joke played by some sad-ass Londonner isn't it? Seriously now, you can expect us to believe that you are comparing the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland with Nazi Germany? A bit more subtle next time and you'll fool someone else, I'm sure. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
