I have written to the Cornishman, as a matter of fact. We'll see if they do anything with the story, or whether they are in the pay of the fanatic fringe :-) (Or the parsnip growing fraternity, come to that.)SAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654559289732417538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-35579783074508990642011-05-10T02:48:45.003+03:002011-05-10T02:48:45.003+03:00Yeah, take your mustard and get out of Cornwall!
