Not so. Wales is 8,000 square miles in area. England is 50,000. That 8,000 square miles could not exceed 50,000 square miles when flattened out. (And England's area would expand even more if it was flattened out).Quote:

Everyone has a weird deep hatred of England or English people. Sure some do but certainly nowhere near most, certainly no one I know of personally.
Cardiff is Europe's fastest growing capital city.
Everything in Wales must be close so why bother looking at google or a map - get this so much in work, people from outside Wales will email our Cardiff office when it should go to merthyr, North Wales wherever because they think it must be here. Where as if I don't know where something is in England, Scotland wherever I'll just look on Google.
I think that you're wrong mate. I saw it on a sticker of the back window of a Corsa. I'll just add that there are plenty of people in Wales whose 'other' car is a Ferrari as well. Culture.Quote:

In the mid 1980s I was working on the building of the A470 around Aberfan/Merthyr Vale. A younger engineers stopped work one day at about 3pm and looked out the window, as he wanted to see the dirty miners walking home from the pit whilst they sang! True.
My career as a cartographer has obviously been a total waste :hehe:Quote:

Were they singing 'Maggie Maggie Maggie Out Out Out'? Twas a popular ditty at the time if I recall.Quote:

That people from Wales always sh1t on the other side of the bridge.
Sometimes they just don’t quite make it hence the colour of the water around the bridge.
That it's God's country
They also say that about Yorkshire, Scotland and Ireland
It is.Quote:

Isn’t it something to do with a small baby being hard to find sometimes in a crashed car? If that is the reason for the sign shouldn’t the driver take it down on the occasions the baby isn’t on board, some poor bugger could get injured or killed looking for a nipper that isn’t there after a smash.Quote:
