Is it much work to set up a sub forum?
If not could we not just open one and see what happens. Once up and running we can keep an eye out for new members and advise them where to go

That looks like a job I would be good at. I like telling people where to go!

Nah, especially considering you're talking about UK as a part of the deal and Pommy land is attached to Cornwall, Wales and Scotland, it would be a bit rough on the poor Pom. However if I was to tell the Pom to clear off back to Normandy and Germany and give back what belongs to the Welsh, Cornish and Scots, then that might be fair...And as Ed is soon to be an Aussie, He can't whinge or b!tch about it .

Yeah I know that Pom generally means English but many an Irishman was a prisoner of her majesty and made the long trip to Van Diemens land.
Many of us would jump at the chance now tho! Lol

We have a fictitious conversation joke that goes along the lines of, Englishman, "Awstrailyar! Oh I say! I don't whont to go to Awstrailyar! That's where all the convicts were sent!" Aussie woman, "England! I don' wanna go t' England! That's where all the POM's come from!"

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.
