Though I'm not sure what language they speak down there

I think the merry go round is back where it Started

Some more wales trivia, 19% of the population of wales speak Welsh, 12% consider themselves fluent, assuming a similar number read and write the language, removing English from the road signs would do more harm to the natives than any visitors.
And as for the water we still have control of scotland.


Right Mick take a breath and calm down. I do like wales.

I'm not fluent in Welsh Ed, but Welsh is compulsory in all schools in Wales until you are 13, and even non speaking Welsh people fully understand and can read welsh place names and signs written in Welsh even though they don't speak the language.

No. It would make the dozy beggars learn their own language better, and I know you like Wales, but I love Wales and I just like to pick on you for being English Speaking of that, you do know that it was the fault of the English that the Welsh language has those sorts of statistics don't you...Anyway. I can't talk...Well I can, but just not much if it's in Welsh. I only have a basic grasp of Welsh language as well, but that's because I'm half Welsh (a damn half caste ) and live in Australia, where I've only had a handful of people to speak in Welsh to over the years. It is what it is...

Hey Jamie, I am only winding up Mick. I think it's important that cultures don't lose their heritage.

Yes Jamie, we do like to stir the pot with each other, and it probably does seem like we would be out the back and biffing on if we were at the pub, but that isn't how it is at all. You'd find us side by side at the bar and taking the piss out of each other, while shouting each other beer and playing pool. Ed is almost an Aussie now, so I might have to just go a bit harder soon as the paperwork is signed off on too!
