I proably am BU...but it annoys me! Oneof the assistants or producers or whatever who is i the background of her show...he's from Cornwall...and she always calls him "Cornish"

"What do you reckon Cornish?" "Shall we have some cake Cornish?"

It winds me up! It's rude!

If he was from Pakistan would she be saying "Come on Pakistani...let's all have a coffee!"

"@TheCornishFairy" is his Twitter name, so I guess he doesn't object too much...

(I'm Cornish-born and proud of it!)

YABU
It is a nickname, as others said, and one that he uses himself.

My mum is from Yorkshire and her nick name is Yorkie. When some people first heard her being refered to as that they thought it was because she loved a certain chocolate bar!!

I don't mind Fern, she is Ok.
She is just part of the next generation of tv and radio presenters coming up.
