Matt 160 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 As a true Devonian I'm all in favour of Cornish Independence. As long as they keep the londoners and grockles with them it's fine by me A true story for you.... When I worked for MAFF we had to go and survey a farm in North Cornwall. It was common practice (and good manners) to always make contact with the farmer before you started wandering around (even though they'd agreed beforehand). My colleague and I were sent to a farm near Launceston and we tried phoning ahead to warn them of our intentions. No answer. Not an unusual occurrence, so we headed off in the hope of finding a busy farmer working somewhere on the farm. On arrival, we found the place deserted so hung around for a bit and then headed off down the farm lane with the intention of calling back later in the day. As we drove out, my buddy saw a tractor working in the field, so we parked up and wandered over. The conversation went something like this: "Morning" "All right?" "Yes, thanks, we were looking for Mr Giles" "He's out" "Yes, we called at the farm" "It's Wednesday, see" "Oh yes" "Market" "Ah, right, well thanks anyway" Because of what we were doing, we didn't really discuss it unless it was with the farmer or a member of his family, so I ventured to ask the youngish man a stupid question: "Are you related to Mr Giles?" "No" ................. "He's me cousin". Says it all really..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
