Bayeux Tapestry coming to Wales ?

[A Quiet Monkfish]

..apparently so, but the National Museum of Wales is undecided about the whole thing - a spokesperson said "we haven't decided whether to put it Bayeux, or by there.."

Is it an insurance problem?

Travel insurance for the over 80's is prohibitive. It would be cheaper to make our own tapestry with a Welsh theme.

A rugby ball, welsh cakes and a miners helmet to show welsh culture over the years? I think that would be excellent.

Rugby and mining are essentially a "Glamorgan" culture of the last hundred and fifty years. Take that out and any tapestry might get to being ten feet long.

If it does come to Cardiff it will be one in the eye for the gloom and doom merchants

Both apply to Monmouthshire. Mining in North Wales.....Point of Ayr near Wrexham, slate mining too.

You can always add farming and er er ........ Shirley Bassey?

Apparently the Welsh were famous for eating cheese in centuries gone by.

Wouldn't that come under a sexual offence?

If the Tapestry ever comes to Wales, it'll be a stitch-up....

I'm not sure the miners of Monmouthshire, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Anglesey and Flintshire would agree with you.

Around 20 years ago there was a football exhibition in the old Cardiff Library building. a City 1927 Cup final shirt, the ball, etc, etc. There was also an old Welsh football jersey attributed to 'Bryn' Meredith. I did point out the error but they weren't really interested -

Baked or toasted cheese was a Welsh delicacy which the English used to take the piss out of us over, basically saying that Welsh people were obsessed with cheese.
Welsh rarebit is one of those piss takes, basically Welsh rabbit = cheese, because they're too poor to have real meat
