After a week at a welsh campsite last year I couldn't possibly imagine what
you're getting at!

Never been so pleased to see a suspension bridge!!

Probably as a result of the reasons that English tourists are often
reviled all around the globe?

I spent a week in Wales, as far west as one can go!
The folks were great except one old bag in a shop who hated tourists.
Even though that's where her living came from.
BTW I am an Essex lad ?

I would respectfully suggest that if more English folk took a little time
out to read history, instead of the Sun, then the need to ask such
miss-guided questions as the OP did, would largely be eliminated!

Sincerely,
a Welshman.

Possibly. Since I don't read the Sun - or any other 'news'paper, I don't
know what the press's attitude to the Welsh is.

I do know a little of Welsh history - not enough - and we have a daughter
who farms in Wales so we spend quite a lot of time there and have no
complaints gainst the Welsh.

I do resent silly comments about other nationalities and, on behalf of
right-thinking English folk, I hope that the OP's comments are regarded as
an aberration and not the attitude of the whole of us. From what you say it
seems that you might think that the majority of us are ill educated and
unthinking. That's not so of the English any more than it is of the Welsh.
There are ignorant folk in all peoples.

I put the OP down as coming from a troll designed to stir up
a row of some sort. There was no qualification, evidence or
justification for the remark, so it is as valid or as
relevant as saying `all martians are pink'.

Trolls are usually best ignored.

the folks wear KISS ME QUICK hats ;-)

Thank you for taking part in this little experiment,I'm sorry if I've
offended anyone but most of you think I'm an englishman I think that
proves a point.

Then why did you not follow your own advice and ignore it?

You have posted four times to this thread.

Do NOT feed the trolls!

Fair assumption given the critical nature of your post and that the
posting IP belongs to NTL Oldham

there you go again whats being english got to do with it
there are prats like you all over the uk
but you must think about this wales is a country not some county in england
thats why most of us in wales cant stand the english
when you speak down to us
we are a country with a language all of its own

taffy smith wales forever
plus you couldnt even beat auzzies with out one or two welsh men

[Deegz]

This is the way I see it.

The Welsh have no infrastructure apart from tourism, what the hell do they make apart from worst waiters than the Spanish. The money they receive is provided by us the English clan. How often do you see French, Spanish, American, or any other creed on holiday this tin pot slate country.

If it was not for us English they would have no economy. Yet we go and suffer the ignorance because we love the valleys and fabulous countryside and even the cold beeches. If they were pleasant I for one would spend more of my money. Mind you only have to look at the Lake District for better beauty.

I hate the fact that when I walk in to a pub or shop and they are talking English that they suddenly look at you and switch to yakey da. Even our football rivals the Scots don’t do that.

Lets face it they are worst than the French in ignorance. They class us as a burden on their border. The best thing we can do is close the borders and stop paying our taxes to support them and their bare farmland. See how far they get then on selling sheep.

I live by their border and go elsewhere on my hols.

By the way I am a fourth Dan, so bring it on...... I need some more practice before the Welsh Open.
