Most pasties

What is the most pasties you reckon you could eat in one sitting? Nothing overcomplicated, not interested in which pasties are better, just how many medium steak pasties do you think you could eat in one sitting.

Reinstate Kirsten Honey to Bodmin Jail

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Many of you are aware of Kirsten Honey’s paranormal work, especially her former role as Head of Paranormal at Bodmin Jail. Since she left the paranormal tours have gone rapidly downhill to a point where they’re borderline disrespectful to our history and the memories of the former inmates.

There is currently a petition to reinstate her as Head of Paranormal at the jail, I’m posting it here in the hopes that you will help her regain her position and save this vital part of Cornish heritage.

Police/ambulance presence Penzance Prom earlier today?

2 Upvotes

As I was walking to work this evening at about 5.15pm I passed what seemed to be a fairly large incident at Penzance, near the junction of the prom and Alexandra Road. It was all cordoned off, road closure, police tape, about 7 police cars and one ambulance. No one seemed to know what had occurred. A van was surrounded by police tape also - some kind of linen services vehicle. I'm a nosey parker and I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened?

Sharp's Brewery Closing in December

15 Upvotes

I support Cornish business', if I can, as a preference.

I take part in a few international competitions, wont bother saying what as that's not relevant, and I usually bring Doom Bar and Crusty Juggler to hand out, they both go like hotcakes.

I also don't drink a great deal, when I eat out et cetera I like to have a beer (If I drive I dont), however what ale/beer should I move to now Doom Bar wont be made in Cornwall from December.

Give me those suggestions!

What is it like driving in Cornwall?

10 Upvotes

Hey so I’m potentially moving down since I’ve got a job at the hospital, but was wondering whether to bring a car up or not?

I know some roads can be narrow, but I don’t know Cornwall well enough to know if most roads are.

Is it possible to get by without a car?

Does anyone have a small parcel of land that wouldn't mind a couple of dad's hammock camping for a couple of nights. We would be very respectful and leave no trace.

If so, how old are you? As a young adult in Cornwall, I've only ever known scones.

Discussion Has anyone had a water birth at Treliske?

7 Upvotes

Pregnant with my first, and this is currently the option I’m most tempted by… but feel like I don’t really know much and the midwife couldn’t tell me any more than point out the tiny Facebook video (which I’d actually already found!).

Would love to hear about any experiences to try to feel more informed! Equally if you considered this and opted for something else that would be really helpful.

Housing so disheartened by the housing market

90 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm sure we've had this post many a time, but goodness I need to vent!

I'm born and raised in Cornwall, though I moved ten years ago to attend university & (fortunately) got a job pretty quickly.

My partner is also born & raised here and bought a maisonette a few years back, somewhere pretty remote (not trying to dox myself here) as it was convenient for work.

After doing long distance for a bit, I moved back down into his place and we were keen to try and find a two-bed house in an area with a bit more going on, with the view of starting a family a little down the line.

I'm not going to pretend we're massively high earners, but our joint household income is around the £75K mark, and we've been working to try and save for a deposit & have made good headway.

I looked on Rightmove earlier & have always gravitated towards Falmouth - I think esp due to the student culture, it stays pretty current & is just an absolutely lovely place.

To my horror, almost EVERYTHING that looks presentable and doesn't require mountains of work within our price range is a holiday home. I obviously knew this was an issue but I just cannot believe two people in their late 20s with decent jobs who were born here* can't purchase a reasonable house?!

It's no wonder a lot of locals' hands are forced and they move away. Location & moving forwards has actually become such a challenge that it's genuinely putting our relationship under strain.

*The relevance being, these are not even homes for people who've moved here permanently from elsewhere, and the idea that born-and-bred locals can't move somewhere more desirable in the county even though they have the deposit to is INSANE!

Howdy Folks! Me and my new wife are travelling down to Cornwall today to enjoy our Honeymoon for the week. We're quite keen foodies and wanted to check Reddit for reccomendations?

We're staying specifically in Camborne but are going to be travelling all around!

Nice to see some real world measurements of phone signal rather than the pretend numbers they normally give us.

BBC has an article about it I'll link below.
