Can't see why he'd lie about his birthplace really, on the Caustic Window
comp. too, it says Made in Ireland, but of course I don't know ...  but
apparently he was brought up in Lanner, not Truro, it's a tiny wee village
a few miles outside of Redruth, set amongst the most ravishing countryside
you could ever imagine, & nearby, the most beautiful secluded beaches and
lots of wicked secret caves to explore, all the narrow little windy lanes
with their high, high hedges all covered in purple foxgloves and the
clifftops amass with wild flowers ...  and when the pressure's low, some
awesome surf a'rollin in, yehhhhhhh!  can't wait, am off down there next
week,
only hope the blinkin sun will deign to shine down upon us, for once, this
summer!
