Today is the annual Plastic Taff Day [warning: this is an anti-egg post]

There's an irony about days like today. Hadn't it been for the influx of English people into Wales and the English media, things that could be described as the essence of Welshness, such as rugby, would never have happened. If Wales had grown organically in the 1800s, instead of what actually happened because of coal, it's almost certain that Wales would never have been interested in rugby, or singing for that matter.

Funny how things work out.

Also ironic in that most English people couldn't care less.

For such a sensible poster I can’t believe you’ve posted this. You could make a similar point about football, maybe we would’ve been better off sticking to living in caves
