Starstruck followers of Relubbus high society have long been used to tales about the extravagant lifestyle of the 'golden couple' - Bert 'Len' Harvey from Towednack and Lily Nicholls from Perrannuthnoe.
He is shown here, together with a bewildered Lily who can't find her roll-ups, in a snap taken at Penzance railway station, where he has just spotted the rent man coming towards him to try - unsuccessfully - to collect the 55 years rent owing on the luxury accommodation he shares with Lily in Colinsey Road, Penzance.
So famous has the couple become that no society event in Cornwall is now complete without an appearance from the 'Colinsey Kickback Kids'.
Now, however, a new and unexpected light has been shone onto the so-called Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.
Following a heavy night out drinking with the girls at the Swordfish Inn in Newlyn, Lily let slip, after her eighteenth port and lemon, that she has never had carnal relations with Len. Instead, she related, it is her reclusive twin sister, Filly, who lives in a nearby field, who has been the recipient of Len's earnestly amorous attentions.
Apparently, Len is unable to tell the two girls apart. The Roundup has managed to obtain a rare family photo of the two girls together. When you look at it, you can appreciate Len's problem.
If you are still struggling, Lily is the one on the right.
SHOCK FOR MOUSEHOLE BUSINESSMAN
Tommy Tregarthen (49) is a man who has made it big in fish. Over 33 years he has built up a wet fish empire, which has grown to one shop in Mousehole AND a delivery van.
Tommy is a popular man in Mousehole. Apart from fish, his interests are rhododendrons, pickled turnips, yodelling and conkers.
Tommy is also known to be something of a ladies' man. One person very much of that opinion is his estranged wife.
Nancy (41) is a senior stylist at Shelley's of St Just and Paris and she is also still exceedingly bitter about their separation and her failure to get a judge to agree that she should be entitled to receive half of Tommy's delivery van.
It was with some surprise that the Roundup received an invitation to visit the Tregarthen family home in Mousehole. Nancy lives in the house and Tommy lives in a caravan in the drive, in which he occasionally receives lady visitors, which stirs Nancy's jealousy and anger to ever new heights.
When we arrived at the home, Nancy positioned our photographer and then summoned Tommy to come inside the house.
As soon as he had crossed the threshold, she launched a ritual verbal attack - with a new and one-off twist.
"You bleddy basterd! You 'ad that li'll tart, Kylie Pierce, in the caravan las' night, didnee? Bleddy fool, you don't knaw where she been. It'll be all ovver the Kwop by lunchtime. Well, neow, I gotta surprise fer you, my cock!!"
At the mention of his beloved Austin A35 van, he blenched in fear of what news might follow, for he strongly sensed that the news might not be good.
Fixing him with an intense stare, which sought to drain his very life force and savouring this moment of pay-back time, Nancy then administered the killer blow. "'Es Cappen, I parked 'n' up sum proper far ee this time. [Dramatic Pause] I pushed 'n' ovver th' edge o' Mousehole Pier!"
This was the moment captured by our ace photographer, Dougie Pengelly.
