Make St Piran's Day a holiday in Cornwall say public!

A recent opinion poll commissioned by 'Cornwall Live', revealed that of the several thousand people participating, a remarkable 92% believed that St Piran's Day should be made a holiday in Cornwall.

7% disagreed and said that it was no different than any other day and 1% asked 'Who's St Piran?'

Sadly, a number of people who have moved to live in Cornwall left bitter opposing comments in response to the poll. We say 'shame on them' for very many reasons!

Regional holidays are common elsewhere in the world but thus far, the UK has stuck to rigidly administered and centrally controlled holidays with some variations for Scotland and the north of Ireland.
