#1 police were on hand to stop people getting too close to the waves in Penzance and at Porthleven on the Lizard Peninsula

These aren't accidents.. they're throwing themselves into the sea lemming fashion. If I lived in Cornwall and my sister was my mother I'd do it too.

#3 Yea. The "Virgin" brand. Like Virgin Atlantic, Virgin records. Or my Virgin Mobile celular phone.

They run Trains in the UK.

#5 LOL Howard - why've you got it in for the Cornish?! Lovely people, lovely county. My personal fave...

The article 'blows' the weather out of proportion somewhat. Only the West coastal areas got hit badly.

#6 Last time I was in Cornwall, a certain "Joe" spoke very loudly to himself next to me for one hour (in a pub). I gathered his life story was that he had been a dangerous criminal but now would rather drink beer and annoy tourists. he was also worried about aliens taking over and not understanding what Jesus said. Nice landscape, though.
