  1. 1. How many Cornish users there are out there. Also, I'd like to see a Cornish Flag on The Hunting Life list.

I love this website! I have learned loads - and its great to see that our sports are all being enjoyed!

 

Just wandered how many Cornish people are out there, and how many people would approve of this site having an option under the Profile section for us Cornish to use our own flag. Cornwall is, of course, part of the UK and so we are covered by the Union Jack - but all you English, Welsh & Scottish get to use your own flags as an alternative - whereas we don't. Would be fab to see Cornwall given a little voice here.

Its obvious aint it ! England, Wales and Scotland have a flag because thay are countries, ulster is a province but has its own flag (bit like the canadians and the aussies before we gave them their countrys back) but Cornwall, as far as i know, is just a demographic area and has never had "country "status. of course will stand corrected if i am wrong. :yes::yes:

:whistling: Can we have a Skegness or Bridlington flag as we go on holiday to them places as well :whistling:

 

Actually - you are wrong. Cornwall has its own language & its own flag and the Duke of Cornwall (Prince Charles) has the power of sovereignty over our Duchy - NOT THE QUEEN. Historically all of Cornwalls taxes went to the Duke, not the Crown.

 

Cornwall used to have its own parliament with powers to veto the English government's laws - but they were gradually robbed from us due to English tyrrany and the passage of time. At one time Cornwall was the wealthiest region in the UK because ofthe vast mineral wealth that was produced here.

 

The people of Cornwall are campaigning for our own devolved assembly like Wales and Scotland.
