CJ here, in admin mode. I certainly don't think Ed is a Celtic Devon person btw, he strikes me as quite cyical about Celtic Romanticism. I'd guess you are more likely to find him at a Regia Anglorum Saxon re-enactors gig. Me, I'm a Dane  |
That's about right. I like new ideas and a different interpretation of history, but I don't believe in inventing culture to justify some sort of political end. Bob Burns, a Celtic Devon person, has listed Devon-style step dancing, Out Hurling, Devon-style wrestling and Crying the Neck as examples of Celtic culture in Devon. The last two are unique to Devon and Cornwall, so it's possible that that is true. To me that is interesting, but I wouldn't make it the basis of a political argument. |
Bah, ed if you sign in as admin, which is correct, do say it's you!
I had just made a few admin changes to board, and it looked like you were me.

Good morning
Originally from Wells, now married to the owner of a flag company in Devon, 1000 flags of Mid Devon. Not just a plug, we are both keen on the history of flags and members of the Flag Institute.
All the best, M
