I've just come back from Cornwall.  There aren't any pirates there.

In fact, during the best part of a week we were there, I only encountered 3 people with a noticeable, or even detectable, Cornish accent.  Two of them were the blokes checking the tickets at at a tin mine, and the other one was a checkout lady in Morrisons in Penzance. 

Everyone else (except for the Germans and the Dutch, who seemed to form the majority of the transient population) sounded like they came from the Home Counties.   :)

And I didn't see a single Cornish Piskie.  Whatever happened to them?

And I never got round to trying a genuine pasty. :(

There are some Omegas in Cornwall. Not sure about Cornish people though, being Scottish and having lived here for 5 years - I don't know that many actual Cornish folks.
