Reasons why some other Celtic communities have trouble with the Cornish |
Their bands don’t all play deedle-deedle and have odd instruments in them. Plus they look funny. |
|
(Sometimes their bands look downright adorable – couldn’t resist!)
|
Their bagpipes have the wrong number of chanters. |
The Cornish are so extremely cool that you seldom know if they’re joking or not. |
They have been doing some very strange things for centuries and if you ask them “Why?” they look at you like you’re insane. |
||
They’ve got these things sticking up all over the place and don’t seem to mind. In fact, they like them. |
They sometimes wear solid black kilts. (See also the bit about bands.) |
They know that “Doc Martin” is B.S. |
They know what this means. (And you don’t) |
Nobody else can understand them when they speak. They don’t care. |
Some of them dress like this - right out in public. (The Welsh and Bretons get this one.) |
