Bunty Bailey: Difference between revisions
Cornwall is not in England it is a duchy and still a feudal state. The English only believe it to be England. It is not ruled by the King but by his son the duke. It has many separate laws and rule pertaining to it. It gets lower funding in education and many other things and is held in poverty by westminster as its people still rail against their rule.

Undid revision 1165400075 by 2A00:23C6:2502:3101:D425:F938:3483:4FF3 (talk) I know little of the peculiarities of English law, however it appears that Reliable Sources identify Cornwall as part of England. Furthermore I see our other articles identifying it as within England. Treating it differently here appears arbitrary and abnormal. |

Therese "Bunty" Bailey (born 23 May 1964)[1] is an English former model, dancer and actress. Bunty started her career as a dancer in the dance group Hot Gossip in the early 1980s.[2] She became known as the girl in the music videos of a-ha's singles "Take On Me" and "The Sun Always Shines on T.V." made in 1985. She is the former girlfriend of the band's lead vocalist, Morten Harket, whom she met while working on the videos.
She has since appeared in several films, with her most recent role in 2008 as a Gypsy Momma in Defunct.[3] She lives in Wraysbury, Berkshire. She has also worked as a children's dance teacher at Wraysbury and Datchet Village Hall.[2][4] She was listed by Fox News as being one of The Hottest '80s Video Vixens.[5] Bunty has two sons, Jake and Felix Bailey, who were born in 1996 and 1997 respectively.[2] In June 2009, she was one of the first people to take advantage of the UK government car scrappage scheme and was invited to breakfast with the prime minister at the time, Gordon Brown.[2]
In September 2012, Bailey appeared as the mystery guest on Channel 4's Big Fat Quiz of the '80s, with her appearance in the a-ha videos being the correct answer.[6]
