“"...I am sure if they had known how divided and opinionated it is down here they would have stayed where they were !"

So we should all be the same and not have opinions that differ from that of the majority? Cornwall is a free country.”

“The Cornish Language is our key cultural element, it should be instated and as Cornwall is a officially a Duchy rather than a county and as the Cornish are a Nation as opposed to a regional variation it is beholden upon the reigning authority to ensure that as a distinct culture we are encouraged to use our native language, it is'nt any wonder that after years of neglect and interference many previous generations deny the positive rewards of the language returning, our culture is precious and contributes towards the sum total of the United Kingdom just as Welsh, Manx and Gealic languages and cultures. The United Kingdom embraces multi cultural societies, so let the charity begin at home.”

“Brilliant! FOC! The new Cornwall Council are really going in the direction of promoting Cornwall and its very distinctive Celtic heritage. Hope they will continue with their innovative approach and to develop more policies for Cornwall's effective advancement that do not depend on any consideration for neighbours over the Tamar.”

“As I understand it and I have spoken to someone who knows about this proposal, street signs in both languages will only be put up when existing signs need replacing or brand new signs are required. The cost of dual language signs is exactly the same as those in a single language, so why the belly aching about extra costs?”

“Reply to L Kernow

Re England Rugby Team - the Cornish want to make themselves totally separate from England and be treated as such, so why join an English Rugby Squad if you do not consider yourself to be English ?
I moved to Cornwall with my parents whilst still in school, it was not my choice and I am sure if they had known how divided and opinionated it is down here they would have stayed where they were !”

“Is Kernow really dependant on tourism ? Has anyone here really examined the figures ? Is anyone here really aware of the true cost of tourism to our Country ? Can anyone give the figures covering how much comes into Kernow from tourism and how much actually leaves again ? All these figures are readily available and might surprise many in the 'Cornwall is an English playground innit ?' brigade.”

“The old language of Cornwal is now jeopardising the tourism lifeline which affects the vast majority. Museums exist where things of the past can be admired by those who cherish them, but not to the detriment of the majority. The Tourist Board in Wales has witnessed the loss of a potential tourism boom, sacrificed on the altar of a minority language forced on residents made to endure the confusion of multi-language road signs. Visiting motorists beware, duplication equals confusion. Please let the celebration of Cornish heritage be free and voluntary by those who wish, but not imposed on the tourism dependent majority.”

“I'm fully in favour of anything that promotes the Cornish language. Builders of new roads and housing developments should be encouraged to name them in Cornish but I really do not see the point in making existing road and street signs bilingual.

I can't imagine a time where we will all be speaking Cornish again, but it would be fantastic if we could all reach a point where its acceptable to greet each other in Cornish (without feeling silly).”

“Put up the Cornish signs, why not?
But, please, let's forget about Cornwall being a "country" and all this "Stannery" nonsense. I live within one of the most ancient former kingdoms in Britain. Proud of it. But Northumbria is long gone. Cornwall is an ancient County of England. Be proud of that history.”

“I'm all in favour of the Cornish language being visible on the road signs of Cornwall.”
