I don't know how some prices of goods etc differ down here compared to further afield, stuff at B&Q, Screwfix etc seems to be the same price where ever folks live, not sure about food shopping at the large supermarkets, that's not my domain, not sure about fuel for vehicles either, I never pay attention to vehicle fuel prices, the car needs fuel..end of story.
Rumour has it we have the highest water charges (including sewer charges) in the country.
The £14,000 pa sounds about right, a lot of part time work also, but that's the way it goes, I always had to work away from home to earn the most money.
Tin mining used to keep Camborne, Redruth, St Just & Pendeen going, all gone now but most of the folks are still living there so they must be earning something.
So is Cornwall the poorest county, who knows, who cares, I've just downed a nice load of fish and chips and found some money for the next bucket of tile adhesive and some more tiles...
