Interesting list Wendall. The biggest thing I dislike you missed out, which is house prices, the fact that many locals can't afford them, and so many houses are 2nd homes for rich weekender, rendering so many villages & seaside towns half empty. Love the seagulls, despite the shit, though in St Ives they are particularly delinquent!

Lived in Cornwall for 20 years, and agree with all 10 points. But i wished I'd never left!

Great Video as always however I think your listeners if they are interested in moving / living in Cornwall should heed the following advice : 1. The weather , the winter can be quite nice to go and watch the stormy seas 2. Truro is a large town technically but that is how it should stay , full of character and independent shops , can you imagine a big Trafford centre style shopping centre there , No ! Can always travel to places like Plymouth / Exeter which are a couple hours drive if you desperately seek that need. 3. Travelling airports. Why travel when you live in such a lovely part of the country however if you do want to then this should just be accepted , can always drive / take train to a London airport. 4 Family - should arrange with family to make the journey to yourself as well as you to then , that way you half the amount of trips required. Carry on with your vids …. Looking forward to the next one …. Ride on !!!!

Having grown up in Cornwall, been away and came back again, my biggest gripe of all is employers viewing potential employees as less valuable to their business. Proporionately, workers outside of the Public Sector have been, and still are paid less than for the same position east of the Tamar. This was the case 25 years ago and nothing has changed. 25 years ago, Cornish people were shown to be 25% worse off in real terms than they were back in the days of Queen Victoria. Scary to think what it might be now! Opression is a wicked thing for anyone to have to tollerate, but this is your Government which is guilty for this on all counts and for centuries.

Thank you again for these very informative videos ! Very helpful for us in semi retiring decisions

As a person originally from London, that has holidayed here since the mid 80's and now lived here for 10 years. Surely you do your research if you are moving here, lack of shops ? lack of airports? far to travel to friends relatives? then don't move here. The only thing I slightly miss is the close proximity I had to theatre's and music venues but I can live with that for the laid back beauty of this County, by the way London is much more humid and just as wet. Biggest issues I think are lack of work, but that is a problem that goes back to the decline of the tin industry and has no easy fix. But the main issue is second home owners, who buy and use the homes for a few weeks of the year, this needs to be dealt with and the only way is surely to ban sales to anyone outside the County

All of this... spot on! I was born in Cornwall, but after 25 years I just had to get out. I am also a live music lover, so I feel ya.

Wendall mate, your bang on bout Cornwall, we would love to move there, BUT, we are 6hrs away (Kent) & it is a hell of a journey. It's bad enough going up North to visit my wife's family 4hrs nearly 🤷🏻‍♂️ so living in Cornwall would be even further 😏 but matey it is paradise where you live 😎 PS beats Birmingham 😂👍🏼

I love everything about Cornwall. I love humidity and rain. It’s not as cold in winter as everywhere else in U.K. I do wish I’d never left.

Ha the slugs and snails in Redruth. I thought it was just our old house! Woodlice too. And the weather!! Something I find funny is the Cornish weather optimism. I remember a couple of years ago my Cornish mother in law talking about what a lovely sunny summer it had been. I reminded her that it had rained from June to September and that Boardmasters had to be cancelled because the wind was so strong! When everyone else is in a heatwave, we get a couple of days of sun…with a coastal ‘breeze’ (100mph gusts). The lack of live music surprised me. Of course there are amazing places like the Minack, but I’d love it if there were open mic nights and gigs in pubs like when I lived in Liverpool and Dudley/Wolverhampton.

Your comment about seagull poo made me laugh out loud 🤣 Yup, agree with eating out totally.

I don't live in Cornwall although I would like to. I visit so often and have done for over 50 years that it feels like I am coming home when I get to the border. Now, there are some things I hate about the place. First off, I don't like the crowds in summer so I go out of season. Next - the rip off parking charges and underhand practices of some car park operators. Then there are the rip off prices of everything from restaurants to holiday rentals (not all though - I have my favourites). I use the supermarkets for most food shopping simply to save some money. Then, wherever you go, any bit of space or verge is blocked by rocks so you are forced to use a car park or move on. Here in Norfolk I can get a decent steak meal for £5 or £6. A crab sandwich £10 in St Ives - no thanks, it's half that in Norfolk. As you say, the traffic is bad in summer. The council keep wasting peoples money on stupid traffic schemes that cause chaos, then have to scrap them.

Very understandable. As a tourist I am not affected by most of this as I take train & bus to the coastal path and walk to the next village far away from most roads 😊 Cornwall is also (believe it or not) a very welcome escape from the weather in the coastal areas of South-West Norway where I live. Google says that Cornwall has on average 1113 mm precipitation annualy. Here it is 2461 mm and 200 days with rain a year. 🤪🌧🌧🌧⛈☔❄

I’ve just found you and tbh I agree in what you are sayin I love Cornwall we usually stay at Padstow and use that as a base great video going to listen to what you like now 😊

I didn't want to watch this, just to the negativity but you're absolutely bang on. I was washing my car almost on a daily basis because of the bloody seagulls, and it wasn't a bit, they literally covered it so yes, £4 jet wash everyday!!! Keep up the good work...

I enjoyed this video mate. A shame there’s not much in the way of live music but I’d imagine the scenery you have and the quality of the life down there helps to soften that blow. For future videos, I’d be interested to hear some of the key differences between Devon and Cornwall and you opinions on this… if it’s safe to do so! 😆 Peace & love pal

I heard they had a shortage of chefs in Cornwall. Terrific vids I was thinking of moving to St Ives prior to lockdown so this is all very interesting 👌I remember my first visit to St Ives enjoying my Cornish pasty overlooking the harbour before a seagull swooped in from nowhere behind me and pinched it 😂😂

Slugs & snails, yep. Also you have to check that your dog(s) don’t have any attached to them on returning from a walk.

Many of the things which separate Cornwall from the rest of the country and what go to make it such a great place, like no other, are mentioned in this top ten things you hate about Cornwall. Brilliant! We leave the other counties in our wake.

slugs and snails? are you alright mate

We just need more jobs, more affordable/social housing, and better public transport.

I will come to Cornwall’s defence and say that there are more live music acts than you could shake a stick at outside of covid. Abd similarly you can get a meal at your favourite restaurant if you book a few days ahead. Sometimes you can just walk in.

Top man Wendall!!!!! Great videos....

You’ve just listed all the things the Cornish hate about living in Cornwall. 😂

My fiance is from England and I want to move there soon. However, I am accustomed to humid weather and I think Cornwall is nice. I think I can sleep well alright, haha!

Wend, great video once again. Here it the worlds smallest 🎻 just for you!

Completely agree I mean I feel I use salt more on keeping slugs out the house rather than putting it on food.

I lived in Cornwall for 5 years when I was at uni and my dislikes were: 1) Cooler wetter summers that I thought there would be (colder than the rest of the south) 2) Crazy high water bills than the rest of the country 3) Seagulls pitching on roofs and cawing at 2am 4) Dead villages in the winter because all the 2nd homers have gone back to London (I've lived on the Isle of Wight and it's the same there) Wonderful county though!

Good video mate , I live in Oxfordshire but my mom is cornish and lives near looe , i think of quitting my job every day and moving down , can't get on the ladder here aswel but my family in bodmin and St austell all got mortgages

You forgot emmets! 😂👍

Straight to the point n very sincere 🗽

Thanks for your videos Could you please talk about schools in Cornwall. I have kids and moving from Birmingham to Cornwall. I need to know which part of Cornwall is best to live and find good school.

awesome video! and i agree!! if i went to another county and disliked it so much, i'd piss off back to where i came from!!!!!!!!!!!

You can hate it all you want. It is beautiful there. I loved it there. It is getting there that is the problem, especially in Hope Cove.

Was born in Cornwall. In Austell and when I was 25 I left! Beautiful place but the locals......... Thank god I emigrated for work and lifestyle.

I have never saw hate videos about Cornwall! 😆😆😆 Perhaps we go there only for holiday in nice warm time as you mentioned! LOL! 😅Sorry we just love Cornwall.

I lived in Port Quin, in the summer it could be sea mist or some of the worst storms. You should investigate the stupid idea of putting a seaweed farm in Lundy Bay.

Hi Wendell, amoving down on Monday to St Breward, would be great to have a few places in North Cornwall recommend to myself

You should of went you wadebridge the other week, the Kaiser chiefs was at the show ground! They also played at at Eden and Falmouth few years back and few famous acts play at Eden

I agree with all your points except the slugs and snails, sure a few here or there but never been a problem. The lack of anything to really do down here is definitely a problem. Lack of good infrastructure and good public transport is another. One point I have is the housing market is stupid expensive for locals. As you pointed out with lack of job opportunities means that we are rather poor compared to the rest of the UK. Some 5 million emmets are a big problem, as you pointed out with clogging the roads and the few things to do are packed in the summer. Essentially Cornwall is an island of isolation separated by the rest of the UK until it is summer in which there is nothing locals can do.

I can imagine the jobs situ I think it’s prob best for ppl who are self employed tbh once they can leave bigger cities. I think friends and family is personal rly as I left midlands when I was 23 and never looked back, I’m a tiny family and my parents eventually moved to Devon and I didn’t even keep any old school friends once I had been in London for a while the divide in lifestyles was just too big and the effort to go back too much. I think it’s easier to almost entirely move on and make new friends and I think some ppl are more sentimental than others with this. I quite enjoy meeting new friends and people and moving through life some rly keep friends as far back as school. I feel letting go of old friends kind of helps me evolve and doesn’t hold me back to the person I used to be but this is a personal thing.

1 good thing tho is that we locals know all the small restaurants and places that tourists dont

The winters are so wet .

I love in Cornwall and you forgot to add the enormous cost of the public toilets! The weather and the incontinent seagulls are a pain.

Thank you.

4. Slugs and snails. Don't use deadly pellets. Get some hedgehogs. Encourage thrushes. Put beer in a low container in the garden. Grow marigolds for snails to eat instead. 🦔🌼🦔🌼. 5. Seagulls - yes vicious and awful poo. 🙄

If you don't like Cornwall then the Midlands is the place for you.I moved from the Midlands forty years ago and love it.Slugs and snails bother you,oh dear 😂

When I went there I enjoyed, but I went in the winter, October low season. I always travel in low season, but I do remember there was a long holiday and many tourists from North of England coming to Cornwall the roads were packed, my host friend was having difficult to drive me around. It's cute seeing the seabird stealing food. I did not see it yet. Here in California, I have these pest snail, what a predator, eating my plants in my garden, I remove them with a stick grabber and toss them away from my garden they come back, what a pest. I did not notice there because I was just a visitor for 1 month. The way you speak, I think you would like California, maybe not, because everybody is trying to run away from California for obvious reasons. For the last 15 years, the exodus is happening.

Whenever I go to Cornwall, it’s full of slugs from the Midlands

It rains alot there in the summer & it's mostly overcast. I don't think I've had more than three days of hot sun in the fortnight I spend there on holiday each year.

Very true Wendell. Very true I agree and I live in Devon. It’s a little better in Devon though.

All those hates is what makes Cornwall the place everyone wants to live. Unfortunately. With all the amenities it would be just another hirrudplace.

With you on the slugs, snails and seagulls. The other points just don't bother me; life is too short to worry about the small negatives. I think after being in Cornwall for several years you just learn to cope with the travel distances and the influx of tourists. Enjoyed the video though.

Hello, I am visiting Cornwall soon, would you know where I can rent a car in Cornwall at an affordable price?

Let’s concrete over Cornwall and fill it with shopping malls and airports. It would be so much nicer. Alternatively, you could move back home and enjoy the diversity in the Midlands.

Agree with every one on your list, add on high prices to sting tourists which obviously affects the low paid locals (compared to the same job up country). Also house prices; pathetic value compared to elsewhere. This from someone who has lived here for almost 40 yrs... Why don't I move? Married a local whose family is here.

Hi Wendall, having lived here all my life i agree with most of your list. Seagulls, lack of live music, tourists definitely. As for slugs and snails? Can't say ive noticed those😂. As for Newquay Airport it is now open again. As for the distance from relatives, thats not really Cornwalls fault. It is where it is, surely you would have realised this when you decided to move here. Other than that I'm in agreement with you.

You're lucky to be here lad. Enough strange folk already in these parts.

The next one you should make is 10 things you love about Cornwall 😀

Too many fucking holiday lets. Sad really

It is a beautiful place but notoriously hard to wild camp. Good vid.

Hi mate, I've been watching your videos for a while now, always great content! Haven't been to Cornwall for over 10 years but me, my Mrs and some mates are travelling down on the 10th july for a week. We're staying in Roche, which is the St austall area, I know you live quite a way from this area but is there anywhere in this area that is a must see/do? I Want to make the most of our stay and was wondering if you knew any hidden gems? Anyways mate keep doing what you're doing, always look forward to the upcoming vids 🤙

Thing I hate about Cornwall are people moving to the county and then moaning about the place. If you listen to this emmet he would be better of staying wherever he came from. His final thing he moans about, I would make even more difficult for people to stay and spoil our wonderful Country

In st ives, the seagulls have Doc Marten boots 😎

Next to no public transport ,cannot find decent places to buy clothes.i have to go to London to have my hair colour done , coast and life is beautiful, very hard to get tradesmen .

Look at that view behind you!

Eden project does some great live music from big bands!! But yeah there's not much, but I prefer folk music anyway

Nothing to hate love it all lived there my boys went to school there.would love to be back again we need more jobs ,well done wendal

You can't have a rural area and city amenities at the same time.. sooner or later you'll complain that Cornwall is now too populated

Lack of airports ? Isn't there one near Land's End ? I've driven past it several times. Does it not serve travellers these days ?

Same here in Tenby. Pain in the arse.

I just came back from Cornwall and stayed for 6 days. Outstanding views, beautiful place, but I've experienced some of the things you complain. (most of them in St Ives) 1. Forget about getting a table on a restaurant, I've ended up having a take away pizza. 2. When I watched this video before going I remember I thought you could be exagereting with the seagulls... Well, they stole my food and almost made me fall from a cliff so I fuckin hate them now haha. 3. How far is it, is just way too long specially Porthcurno area. 4. The tourists, (a bit hypocrite from myself as I was being tourist as well haha) but seriously in St Ives I've experienced a town converted to a big Airbnb hotel... Lack of locals... I just preferred smaller more authentic towns. 5. And because that turistic boom I almost miss my train because the space for my bike was completely packed with luggage of tourists and had to stay 3/4 of the trip from London standed. Also is way too expensive even shitty Airbnbs so I've taken my tent which was around 10-15 pounds per night, the only cheap way to travel to the region. Still, it definitely worth it, the coast trail is absolutely amazing, awe and respect by the nature, those cliffs are incredible. Also most of the locals were very friendly and chatty when staying in little towns. Love your videos mate 👍

LOL I don't think I had ever seen slugs like the slugs we have here in Cornwall, and I have been slug watching here for fifty years. The best ones are black with a wrinkled skin, and about six inches long, slithering and sliding along my tiled kitchen floor. Or little tiny brown ones creeping up my uPVC front door.

Yes. Cornwall does have rather a lot of garden molluscs!! We should make like other nations and eat them. 🙂

My number 1 is a lack of forests and mature trees.

We saw you at pool market today

Your video has certainly got attention on Facebook!

I’d love to live there no matter.

What could somebody hate worse about Cornwall? The tourists who visit Cornwall or Cornwall itself?

No family, no friends... Sorted. 😕👍

The seagulls r so loud 😂😂😂

You forgot to mention the carpark fees Wendall.

From Bodmin: worst things about Cornwall: 1. holidays homes, 2. emmets and their traffic congestion in the Summer, 3. lack of affordable housing due to second homes and immigration from upcountry, pricing locals out of house and home literally, 4, mass emmigration from Cornwall over the centuries due to lack of jobs, 5. lack of recognition of us as an ethnic minority and minority language status by the English., and finally 6. a lack of a backbone from Cornish people to improve their lot and stand up to the negatives.. From a native in Cornwall (Kernow).

Move to North Cornwall ,seagulls are eaten here, your closer to your folks, we discourage emits, the weather never changes as it's always cloudy and the tractors stop traffic on the roads, plus Trago's just down a few lanes, living the dream mate.

Nothing to hate about that view... 🙂

I love ur channel and im visiting aguest 12th I HOPE I SEE YOU

NUMBER 1:ST AUSTELL

The thing i hate about cornwall is the cornish .Who winge about Tourism. Apart from that its a beautiful place.

The French will love your snails

I wish I can live in Cornwall ❤❤❤❤

Them seagulls are vicious 😂 They work in gangs

As regards no. 10 will that could be the case anywhere in the country really you moved remember

If you don’t like so much about Cornwall why don’t you go back to the Midlands?!!

Lots of slugs and snails in Devon

The slugs! 😢

Great video mate

Dont worry mate... if you take the beaches away, Cornwall is poor dump. Living in ex mining towns here in poverty is absolutely soul destroying

You wish you new about the hidden Cornwall

From Foumouth Cornwall

Back over the tamar!!!
