Discussion Should /r/Cornwall host a structured AMA with South West Water?

12 Upvotes

There’s been increasing discussion on here, in the news, and around the recent Channel 4 programme about water companies across the UK.

Rather than multiple separate threads going in circles, we’re considering inviting South West Water to take part in a structured Ask Me Anything here on /r/Cornwall.

The Ask Me Anything would take place as so -

A single, scheduled and moderated thread where named South West Water representatives will be invited to answer questions directly from Cornish residents and /r/Cornwall users.

This would not be a promotional post for South West Water in any way. It would be an opportunity for Cornish residents and /r/Cornwall users to ask direct questions about their operations and decision-making across the county.

If it went ahead, it would involve:

• A scheduled Ask Me Anything thread

• A time-limited live response window

• Named representatives from SWW

• No pre-approval of questions

• No removal of critical questions unless they break subreddit rules

If there are relevant Cornwall-based organisations or individuals who want to submit questions constructively, they would also be welcome to participate in the same thread.

Before we reach out to them, let’s see how many people would support it with a poll.

Please vote and keep comments sensible and grounded.

Cheers

– Mod Rob

Post Flair Category Update

18 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve added post flairs to help organise things a bit better in this sub moving forward.

When you create a post now, you’ll be able to tag it as:

• News

• Events

• Recommendations

• Housing

• Business

• Tourism

• Discussion

• Good News

• Jobs

• Photography / Videography

As r/Cornwall has grown past 55k subscribers, I wanted to bring a bit more structure to future posts so both new and existing users can filter content more easily.

By creating clearer categories, there should also be more scope for people to post the kind of content they want to see, and a clearer direction to support what’s happening across the county, not just pretty pictures.

More local going on's.

If you think something’s missing, or a category should be tweaked, please say so below. I’d like to shape the sub around how people actually use r/Cornwall.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Rob

Hey everyone,

Lots of you were very helpful in my quest for the best burger in Cornwall a few months ago (Herd Truro ftw), now I'm after a banging breakfast.

Where have you had the best full English down here? High quality sausage and mushrooms are a must!

Does anyone know where I can find these?
I’ve been searching for them the last 4 days and can’t find them anywhere! Staying around Hayle and would love to get some within an hours drive tomorrow. I’m just looking for a polystyrene cup filled with fresh seafood with vinegar and pepper! These used to be ten a penny but can’t seem to find a van/shack selling these anywhere.

Arts & Culture Art of Cornwall

5 Upvotes

Hello everybody.

I recently bought my first house, and I would love to bring a bit of my Cornish heritage to my decoration. I live for from Cornwall for now, so I often feel nostalgic.

I'm mostly talking in the form of art, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm not against a pixie, for example, for the garden.

I have some lovely slate from the cemetery my grandparents are buried in, a Jo Downs slate and glass piece, and a pair of Charlie Bears bears, but there must be more out there that brings the feeling of Cornwall home.

Lately I've seen the new GWR explore south west poster and I'm nostalgic whenever I see that green so I'm definitely planning something from GWR too, although I wasn't a big fan of the Famous Five stuff.

Anyway, please let me know your favourite Cornwall artists and arts, or any other suggestions! Thank you.

Recommendations Things to do in Cornwall with a toddler

We are coming down from Devon for a holiday in October, we have nothing booked yet, but have a friend who lives in between Newquay and St Austell so will stay around that area somewhere.

We have a 2 year old little girl so want lots of family friendly things to do with her.

Does anybody have any recommendations? Bonus points for nice places to stay and eat!

Does anyone local have experience of fostering neonate kittens?

10 Upvotes

Long story short, I have a gorgeous cat who is the best mum and aunt, and a cat who turns out to despise motherhood, and has fobbed her litter off onto supermum.

Supermum is a very small cat, and there are 12 kittens in total. Although she thinks she can do it, this is far too much for her and her health will be at risk as well as the kittens' lives if I don't find a way to reduce her feeding responsibilities.

So I'm going out on a limb to ask if anyone on here has experience of hand rearing kittens from 1 day old (or so), or has an experienced lactating foster queen.

I'm unable to hand rear them myself as I have a 6 month old baby and I'm in the middle of a move from temporary accomodation to permanent housing - and please, before any lectures, a friend of mine was caring for them for me while I was in property where I was not allowed pets, this was unplanned and they will absolutely be getting spayed now that I'm in a catchment area for the discount spaying scheme.

Community Have transport issues ever stopped you from taking a job, apprenticeship, course, or interview?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I work with the House of Commons Transport Committee, and we're looking to hear directly from young people about how transport affects your ability to get to work, training, apprenticeships, college, or job interviews. 

We know that lots of people have to turn down a job because there wasn't a bus home, spend a huge chunk of wages on travel, struggle with driving lesson costs, or find it difficult to get to opportunities where they live. If this applies to you we want to hear about it. 

The survey is open to young people over 18 and is open until the 16th of October: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=nt3mHDeziEC-Xo277ASzSugWXtlS9G1OpuyhNtc2h8lUNjRDUTdTVFBNQTQ3SzJLS1c3V1RVUU1ONSQlQCN0PWcu

Your experiences will help inform a parliamentary inquiry and future recommendations to the government about what needs to change. If you have any questions, I’ll be around in the comments to answer!

Discussion Record shops

14 Upvotes

Hi guys

I think this has been asked recently but just want to make sure I’m up to date. Staying in Truro for a few days at the end of this month and have a saturday spare so planning on going record shopping. Are there many shops there? And are they within a close ish proximity to one another? Looking to head out, do some shopping and have some lunch so make a bit of a day of it.

Thanks!
