Rob,
I saw the programme, too, and have to say that I thought it rather confused. They mixed up Cornish identity with some place name evidence from the Midlands. I accept that the programme had to condense a lot of information but a Cornish poet reciting his poem about 'Big Macs' and pasties I thought was rather unneccesary.
However, I do agree with you, Robert (for once), and with Keith, that there is a a lot of wishful thinking involved.
For other contributors to this debate you may wish to dip into this link
on the Gegaderung. There are several threads on similar lines on the same forum. Sometimes they get quite heated.
