We need to talk about Wales....

[PKwalnuts]

Wales is basically Birmingham's beach

Wales is basically Birmingham's beach

Thats Aberystwyth to Barmouth, "yim yams" (Midlands)

Essentially you can divide it into 3. The other two "blow ins" are.

Cardiff to Aberystwyth, "allwhite geezers" (South East).

Barmouth to Rhyl, "trackies" (North West).

My Welsh neighbours have never been so quite, they know i don't rugby (posh [Poor language removed] sport), won't stop when they do turn it around, getting in my face...

My Nain was Welsh...one for the Welsh speakers there.

She was abit of a cow.

Couple of my colleagues are from Caerphilly they're actually lovely fellas.

Went Bala not so long ago,odd place but nice.

Went to Wrexham once years ago,had a lovely burger in a pub.

And went Colomendy as a kid with school.

That's my full relationship with Wales.

 

[Pootsy]

Been to Cardiff a few times now as my son is in University there. Absolutely love the place. A bit like Belfast but with a more joyous accent. Though the options to get to the airport are a bit undeveloped.

 

[Walken]

20 mile limit ? How do they cope ?

By celebrating a drop in collisions, deaths and an increase in local areas mental well being?

 

[NeilMorepies]

Only been once. I went to the Rhyl Sun Centre in the late 80’s. Was all right.
I heard Wales has gone seriously downhill since it shut.

 

[longers]

Rugby is just posh grocks running into each other endlessly. Only time the sport has even come close to being entertaining was when Lomu curbstomped the underwood brothers at the 95 World Cup.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

The Welsh are the originals and best of this fair isle….. the English are like kopites really when you think of it…

They’re the afterbirth, they’re responsible for needless death and suffering overseas, and everyone dislikes them

Forza Cymru

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Beautiful country full of absolute lunatics. In the best possible way.

 

[JLW]

If you remove the people then its lovely country.

Picturesque until you meet one of them
