They will probably join Scotland and Wales opting for independence. Cornwall could become 30th member state of Europe. Mass export of Pasties to the English ? Brexit stronghold old bean. Cornwall, which has a population of just 530,000 people, voted resoundingly to leave the EU, with 56.52 per cent opting for leave – more than the national average - compared to 43.48 per cent voting to remain. From 2007 to 2013, €654m was given to fund projects and the local economy, the Financial Times reported. Still love the place, mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Scone, rhymes with bone, surely? Jam first, then Cream, but that's based on musical preference alone, which brings me neatly back to Scone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best man made a terrific speech at my wedding basing around Derrbee and the fact he struggled to find a cer park for his cer, etc. Very funny. If you take a look of the history of Britain, Derby was once Darbi, it then became Darby. Foe some reason it moved onto Darby. So I guess that is why we still call it Darbi...

I insisted to the cockneys down there that is pronounced as its spelt and not Barkshire. They then asked how i pronounced Derby and i have to now insist its Derby and not Darby to my cockney colleagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
