Easy way to settle this.
1 - do you like the Wurzels?
2 - do you like scrumpy?
3 - do you work in a coal mine?

Spencer. It's not about where you were born, it's where you spent the majority of your life etc. - you can't be a true cornish with a bloody Sheffield accent

No joke, at this moment in time I am looking at commercial properties and towns for us to expand our Pasty business into.

The Wurzels are from Somerset not Cornwall. The fact that neither of you have picked up on that shows that neither of you are true South Westerners. Devon for the win.

No it's where you are born. Same as you're not from London or Oxford just cos you've live(d) there, you are from Swindon.
Doesn't matter if I spent the next 50 years in London, I'd still be a Cumbrian. And proud

The true answer is actually neither of us, like I voted.
To be true Cornish you need three generations of your family to have been born here

That's a stupid rule. If someone had never had 3 generations of their family stay in one place what would that make them? A gypsy?

That is seriously how the Cornish see it.
If Kerry was truly Cornish, she would of known that.
As I have previously stated, I have never proclaimed to be Cornish.

I agree! You are 'from' where you were born.
