Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

16%. I’d imagine the amount of welsh speakers is around that, although after pushing it on kids for years it might just be higher in that age range. I almost put my kids in a local welsh primary, some of my neighbours did. After chatting to the head teacher we told her we didn’t speak a word of welsh, she said that 90% of the kids parents didn’t. I don’t think they enjoyed the home schooling much.

The arguement for Welsh primary and secondary education is that whilst a proportion of kids will drop the language some will speak it for life and again your children speaking Welsh will encourage some parents to learn as well

I don't have a problem with that if it's economically worth the cost and actually strengthens the Welsh language .

I have no intention of learning Welsh, I am happy being an English speaking Welsh person . Most Welsh speakers I have met have been good people and it's only the minority who make stupid comments .

My 9 year old can speak quite a lot already, no doubt my 11 year old will by the time he leaves high school. So, what’s the point of doing everything in welsh? It’s a pretty easy made up load of nonsense to grasp anyway, I guess with it you can work for s4c and stuff….

Berwick Rangers are an English club who’ve always played in the Scottish leagues, Derry City from Northern Ireland play in the Republic’s League, even TNS are based in England I believe.

So no Scottish or Irish play in the English pyramid system then.

Don’t think so, I was just pointing out that it’s not just Welsh clubs in GB who play in other systems.

Re: Wales considering renaming as Cymru

Bridgend and Merthyr have lots in common with urban areas such as Camborne in Cornwall . All three are old industrial areas based on mining .

I don't know anything about St Ives, I think it could be a fishing port .

So if it is , its got more in common with Newquay in Cardiganshire

I feel at home in Camborne already. I'm assuming politically they are Labour? Have Camborne got a football club I can support? It's only a round trip of 440 miles for me.

Yes but the surrounding area is Tory

Yes

League wise it's Plymouth, about 50 minutes away

That's what the proper locals do

But the local idiots watch Man United or Liverpool and have the piss ripped out of them by the pilgrims
