Men of Inspiration

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
All terribly bots own stuff like mad Jack being the prime example. Glad to see the anaesthetist being listed. The commonwealth isn't just British people, does anyone know of commonwealth men of inspiration?

(PS I doubt a post such as this that was based on people of inspiration could escape without mention of Mary Seacole IMHO).

I was going to add him. (Too near Swindon).

Going across the Tamar there is the Royal Albert Bridge...But we call it the Brunel Bridge (it has his name on, after all).

How did people get to Cornwall (or more to the point, out of Cornwall...) before him?

I would like the thread to remain on topic if I can rather than spur off , But I would suggest The Cornish would state that they wouldn't see any justified reason to consider leaving Cornwall :)

And I would say , that as a Devon born and Bred country Bumpkin I'm happy that they thought that way.. :)
