[moljam]

hello!im in north cornwall.i know theres a few cornwall mners,would any one fancy a meet up?

[moljam]

hellllllllllllloooooooooooooo

[Fubsy]

Where in Cornwall Moljam?

Im just over the border in Devon, but all the Devon meetups seem to be in Exeter or N Devon.

[moljam]

north cornwall-camelford

[moljam]

what about you?

[Fubsy]

Not that far - Im just outside Tavistock, about 10 miles south of Launsceston.

[Fubsy]

Which I cant spell

[moljam]

launceston i think!dh and i fight on how its pronounced-hes cornish and says lanson im not and say lawnstern(maybe im a posh git?!)

[Fubsy]

Round here its Laanston, but Im an incomer, so I say Lawnston!

[cadelaide]

Laanson ladies, Laanson.

[cadelaide]

actually, laansn.

[moljam]

lol are you local cadelaide?thats what dh says!

[cadelaide]

no, and it was a bit naughty of me to join in.
I'm in Somerset, but lived and worked in Launceston for a year.
Loved it

[Fubsy]

Of course, forgot to leave out the vowels!

(Dont forget Im actually in Devon, so theyre probably saying it a bit posher!)

[moljam]

not naughty to join in at all!

[Fubsy]

Someone's put Launceston in the worst places in Britain thread. In fact nearly everywhere Ive ever lived/worked is in that thread!

[cadelaide]

Me too Fubsy,I feel a kind of perverse pride!
But I really did love my year in Launceston. Lovely people.

[moljam]

have they lol! i think its ok-nearly moved there recently but only as schools are good and compared to camelford its beutiful!theres nothing here!ive not looked at thread!

[Fubsy]

I drive through Camelford on my way to Polzeath.

XP and I had a car accident near there and had to spend the night in a B&B, when they had that chemical spill into the river years ago.

For some reason its always stuck in my mind!

Im sure thats not its only claim to fame though

[scorpio1]

ooh your miles away from me, im in penzance!

[BigBadMouse]

don't forget me

Whats so bad about Launceston??? It's not wonderful but it's not that bad either methinks

Anyway Laaaansn for sure, I live somewhere with a very similar sounding name so I have to practice every day or get lynched by the locals . Then there Holsworthy just nearby = olsery

There must be more of us out there for a meet up surely???

[cadelaide]

Oh I do feel nostalgic.
Perhaps I could make a long trip and come as a pretend Cornish?

[moljam]

cadelaide come and be cornish!im not cornish btw but lived here for 13 years-another 20 and i'll be excepted

Fubsy thats when we moved here just after everyone got green hair lol.looked exciting!

BigBadMouse -who could forget you!i dont think its all that bad-have heard bad things recently though-bit of trouble.i forget where you are?

[laura032004]

I pronounced it Lawn-cess-ton in a shop once when asking for directions. I got a very strange look. DH & I still laugh as we're driving from Plymouth to Hayle about all the different place names. Is St Austell really pronounced 'sozzle'?

Must add Mousehole to the interesting place names thread too! Sure it's not pronounced like that though!

[cadelaide]

Snozzle
Mowzle

[moljam]

cadelaide yep snozzle and Mowzle .or snoz.dh laughed at me recently when i pronouced mousehole as its spelt.have you read the book laura032004?its lovely!
