The British Empire in danger of shrinking even more with the news that Cornwall (land of Smugglers and Cream Teas) is to be granted minority status under European rules for the protection of national minorities.
There is a Celtic based Cornish language which is still spoken in Cornwall (the most South West of English counties).
Dick Cole, leader of Mebyon Kernow, which campaigns for Cornish devolution,
said: "This is a fantastic development. This is a proud day for Cornwall."
The Cornish will gain the same status as other Celtic communities the Scots,
Welsh and Irish.
After nine pints on a Saturday night I can also speak fluent Cornish, Welsh and Gaelic.
