What's all this Gulval business
I've obviously missed something (quite normal) and will now appear to be asking a daft question, but what/where is Gulval and why don't
people want to be from there?
curious.....

Gulval is a place in Cornwall, no idea what the lark is all about but they do seem a jolly lot our Cornish (and naturalised Cornish!!) chums!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Mark Allanson explained it a while back:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=38344
"Gulval churchyard has effigies of pagan gods, the chip shop sells battered babies, 30% of the population live in council caves, they have cats
the size of labradors, and due to its remote location and very tight family groups, special items of footware are required by its inhabitants.
The nearby remote hamlet of Polkinghorne was discovered by Mr Godfrey T Stephens in 1953, previously the name was thought to be a uniquely cornish
sexual act!
I think every county has its Gulval, Kent has its Faversham, Derby has its Buxton etc etc "

That's the problem with 'in' jokes though - when you get to the centre of it all, it isn't actually funny. It just seemed
funny at the time.
