This should be made an event in more uk cities,it really is a good laugh,the people who dont like it are only a few, this year I dressed my black poodle up,it made the local paper! I look forward to next years,we get more and more visitors each year.

It might surprise you to learn that tourists do this all the time and survive, largely ignored, because the people of Cornwall are not pompous, defensive, self-righteous pricks.

How could he show "understanding of English society" in Cornwall, when Cornwall is not English? Cornwall is NEXT to England, like Scotland and Wales, which are also other nations.

i got the feeling our mr.anti-racitist wasnt really interested in the english traditions or customs and showed very little understanding of english society....just under-lining greed that brung him down front london in the first place.....that and the pointless need to make a fuss....the cornish will never change....you've discovered nothing new....leave traditions alone or fuck off back to the congo

I note that people here are stating that the documentary team have a clearly racial objective in this piece. A fair representation of people were interviewed and none of these were edited......so, personally, I feel that you are heavily mistaken. As for comments such as 'It's a bit of fun', 'It's a tradition', 'It's what we do'? If I were in Padstow and had 'a bit of fun' by going round talking in a mocking Cornish accent, would that be accepted?
