SWMBO has just come across this in an official, education related document. It doesn't say they're 'special needs', but reading between the lines................ Do you think they mean Camborne? ;>) Last edited by: bathtub tom on Sat 28 Jul 12 at 12:16 Reply to this message | Report message

Since the Welsh have sheep, I suppose the Cornish are entitled to www.mypetchicken.com/chicken-breeds/Cornish-B39.aspx ;) I quote from the website "The regular Cornish don't suffer from the same health problems the Cornish Crosses do. Nonetheless, Cornish are still not especially good foragers, nor are they usually very active birds in general. We're told they can make great lap chickens and have a gentle nature, even though they are large, heavy and look fierce. They tend to be on the lower end of the pecking order in mixed flocks despite their size." Probably sums up Camborne - Last edited by: pmh on Sat 28 Jul 12 at 12:26 Reply to this message | Report message

Si Señor, the population of Cornwall is just over Arthur million, 26% are actually identified as Cornish. = An ethnic minority. Reply to this message | Report message

A quick look at the family tree shows that I am in fact a quarter cornish. Can I claim some form of benefit as an 'ethnic minority'? Yours sincerely, a pasty-faced ex-pat. Reply to this message | Report message

Interestingly the whole human race lacks the genetic diversity you might expect in such a successful species, certainly much less than our cousins the chimpanzees. Geneticists believe the entire human population had shrunk to less than 20,000 a million or so years back so I guess we are all inbred. Reply to this message | Report message

Since we are all descended form a small group of c 100 who left Africa 100,000 years ago, I guess we are all cousins .. several hundred thousand hundred times removed.. Reply to this message | Report message

I've done a couple of incest court cases, including one creature who impregnated his 12-year-old daughter. For his next trick he attempted to murder his social worker. Currently imprisoned and he'll qualify for a bus pass before he qualifies for parole. Reply to this message | Report message

IIRC about a third of the population of Mongolia is a descendant of one G. Khan. Reply to this message | Report message

The fact is that it highly likely we are all related to Ghenghis Khan and indeed to anyone else who was alive in the 12th century. It's easy to prove mathematically Say you were born in 1975, your parents were both born in 1950, your four grandparents were born in 1925, your eight great-grandparents in 1900, and so on. In other words, your number of ancestors doubles every 25 years the further back in time you go. If you take this back just 1,000 years, you'll find that you have well over 500 billion ancestors in a single generation. Considering there's fewer than seven billion people on this planet - and even that is far, far more than any other point in human history - there's something seriously wrong here. The solution, of course, is that you don't have 500 billion distinct ancestors, but rather a much, much smaller number of ancestors reappear over and over and over again in your family tree which are shared with everyone else.

Wouldn't it be fascinating to have a "Tardis"? I'd love to "go back" and study the lives of my ancestors. Trick would be not to interfere. Edit - having said that, I might give my dad a hand with his pools coupon... :-) Last edited by: Humph D'Bout on Sun 29 Jul 12 at 17:33 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Roger has a "touch of the tar brush about him" as my dear old mum would put it. You always call a Spade a Spade, Zero, if you deign to talk at all that is. My wife, who looks English, has a known black, or anyway blackish, ancestor only a few generations back. I don't know of any in my own case, but my Maltese mother was certainly a very mixed mongrel with a lot of Arab, Turk and Berber, although she thought of herself as mainly Italian and Scottish. People in Africa have a sharp eye for this sort of thing. They can tell at a glance that I'm not really English English. Not scarlet and sunburnt enough. I can go on for ever about this, but it will only bore people. Roger the Rastaman... has a ring to it. Reply to this message | Report message
