I know people sometimes have this fantasy about Cornwall. But the Cornish are so grounded.

We're seeing a crazy appetite for people to acquire and invest in British businesses.

What supposedly bound that Commonwealth together was a mysterious shared identity - Britishness.

Britain is famous for being great at inventing and poor at commercializing.

British men are peacocks. You see a lot more style on the streets here than you see anywhere else, on every level.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking but now, God knows, anything goes.

The old men running the industry just have not got a clue. They've got to come to terms with the fact that Britain is no longer a totally white place where people ride horses, wear long frocks and drink tea. The national dish is no longer fish and chips; it's curry.

The 'Best of British' is a positive thing that's bandied around, but also it's applied pressure to our country in terms of economic growth. I think we've always felt the rest of the world is so much more powerful in terms of being commercially viable, but we can take great pride in our level of creativity.

Cornwall, peopled mainly by Celts, but with an infusion of English blood, stands and always has stood apart from the rest of England, much, but in a less degree, as has Wales.

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales!
