why

[wizard]

Every time i go to hospital they ask me if i am black white or white Cornish, why white Cornish! Why not Scottish or welsh. Today i said i was black and they went off on one. If i said i was Cornish would i get better treatment or would they make me have a bath. :lol:

Maybe because they'll get you proper cream for your tea cakes...

Mind you - did laugh at your answer

Maybe this is why

I thought I had heard/read about Cornwall being a separate nation at one time or other.

I always say white Cornish or white 'other' and specify Cornish if not on the list, nothing wrong with patriotism !
