As a Cornishman I was pleased to see Cornish identity given some "air time". 
If the article encourages readers to investigate Cornishness where they 
otherwise wouldn't have then it can only be a good thing. I was also pleased 
that someone like John Angarrack was highlighted in preference to what would 
have been an easier exercise in cliches. The only problem I had with the 
article was the reference to Cornwall as being in "south western England" - 
to Cornish people it's a separate country - but I wouldn't have expected any 
different from "outsiders".

Go raibh maith agat,

Will you all quit calling it "Eastphalian" already, while you know nothing
else about it? This is quite different from Eastphalian, which they speak in
Hameln, for instance. Actually, it's the only pure and true version of Lower
Saxon there is, untainted by any kind of foreign sailor slang like you get
up the coast. Any of my neighbours can tell you that.
