Default Penzance is in Wales (MetO announcement)

According to the MetO Penzance is now in Wales.

During a boring moment I typed Penzance in the SEARCH Met Office box, and
top of the results with 93% came 'Met Off Welsh Air Quality Summary'

Now gripped with excitement I selected it and there it was, a 5 day forecast
for Penzance, Wales.

I knew this move to Exeter would lead to trouble.

That's true isn't it? Historically, at least, Cornwall used to be referred
to as West Wales (or so I'm told).

There were certainly links. The languages are similar, (although Breton is
more similar to Cornish), but I think you'll find Wales used to be part of
Cornwall!

Rubbish, Cornwall has always been part of Pembrokeshire, they speak a broad
Pembrokeshire twang with a hint of Cornish. :-)

But south Pembrokeshire is known as Little England Beyond Wales. :-)
