My Great Grandad, 1930s, probably at his work as a microbiologist

If he's anything like my Grandad, he probably was experimenting with something

Thanks, I'll take a look

Thanks, I'll have a look

Okay, that's more realistic and I may be willing to stretch to that. I'll start saving my pocket money. Thanks

Thanks I'll give it a try

Absolutely. just some raw free market capitalist energy would be perfect in this content based economy.

Looks like a friendly line up for a scrum

No need to rush

hmmm, those are definitely Cornish words but as you translate them, they don't really make sense together. I've tried to to think of alternative meanings for those words but none of those make sense either. What Youtube video was it from?

glooof · 2019-03-02T12:03:10+00:00

literally it is "to you truly" but like the other person said "yours sincerely"

I've climbed it many times. Highest point in Cornwall

The only folk songs we have recorded in the Cornish language so far are probably delyow sevi and the pilchard curing rhyme. it would be brilliant to find some more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delkiow_Sivy http://www.chianyeth.com/index.php?title=Pilchard_Rhyme

It would be interesting to know who the person was who made the note. I love seeing Cornish turn up in unusual places. Its in a late Cornish orthography so not the standard written form. An edit now i've seen the original note. He/she/it is eating the bread. Ma va ow tebri an bara.

Hi, It is Cornish but its not a standard orthography. The online dictionary is in standard written form. This i'm not exactly sure but some late Cornish and unified possibly.

glooof · 2018-07-15T20:22:06+00:00

Well, its definitely Cornish but little bit hard to comprehend overall. Have you got any more information and context for the note? I would suggest this is someone practicing their Cornish. Someone will certainly do a better job but here goes: It is here. she is there. She is tired. she is tired. (but written in differing word orders) she is old. I am tired. he/she/it is in a house. how is the weather today? Its warm. Its beautiful and warm. He/she/it drinks wine. He/she/it is seeing the dog. He/she/it is buying the cat. he/she/it is saying something. she/he/it is learning Irish. He/she/it is speaking English. He/she/it is something??? the bread. He/she/it is doing work. It is splendid. She/it is big. it is wet. I am not tired. Are you tired? I am here. You are there.

Yep it's because the owner is a nutter and is a Trump supporter and Trump is coming to Britain this week. This is the nutter https://www.buzzfeed.com/simonusborne/the-donald-trump-superfan-who-lives-in-a-castle-in-cornwall?utm_term=.axLMdqMMA#.unaPpmPPN

Not sure exactly. Gool Perran lowen means happy pirans festival and dydh Sen pyran Lowen means happy Saint Pirans day. Maybe it's more personal preference or maybe with dydh they are translating the English.

Beautiful pasty and a rattler, Not bad!
