Does that suggest we need to spend savings? Does my buying a new gravel bike mean I'm doing my bit??

Buying a new bike is always “doing your bit” 😊

I wouldn’t call it a win until the £122M is recovered.

If you're married you don't need to lift a finger, it all gets done for you.

I obviously need to read the "terms and conditions" more carefully 😂

They're in administration so it will be pennies on the pound. Meanwhile, Mone and co will have millions tucked away untouchable in their private overseas accounts. It's the problem with the limited company model. There should be criminal charges for fraud.

This closed the M5 today near Exeter. Oops.

Cornwall probably has a better-defined border than Scotland or even Wales. Kernowek is closely related to Welsh and Breton to the extent that they are mutually intelligible. However, there are Devon place-names that have roots in the same language, which suggests the Tamar wasn't an immutable border.

The A30 goes right over it, making Cornwall pretty easy to get to.

If people could get to Cornwall from Breton then the Tamar is just a skip and a jump.

This is the Tamar just about 2/3 of the way across the county. It doesn't seem to be all that much of an engineering challenge to get across.

There's also the Landsker line in Wales. West of that, the language is mostly English inflected with older Devon phrases.

FWIW, Cornwall's GDP is supposedly £13.8bn, London's £618bn, give or take.
