Hi there, I moved to Cornwall from Surrey a while back as we felt the time had come for us to move to an area we have always loved. So we found an affordable place to live and employment, so far so good eh? Well we sure have learned the hard way! My advice to anyone even thinking about moving down here is DONT DO IT!! Although there are alot of people who have moved in from up country, many of the locals seem to think that they live in their own country and not just another county, which afterall Cornwal is. Sure thats not to tar all Cornish people with the same brush, but there are alot who think that having the cross of St Piran stuck on the back of their cars is some big deal. Thre are so many who are ignorant morons who wave that flag but couldnt begin to tell you what it actually means.
If you drive anywhere you will soon have someone driving 3 inches from your rear bumper and then overtake on a blind bend.
The countryside is beautiful, I couldnt deny that and the coastline is stunning, but pretty sceenery doesnt pay the bills, wages are very low.
By all means give it a go, if you must, but dont take it for granted that you will find utopia here and have a plan B if it doesnt work out.
As soon as the oppertunity arises we are off.
