Following a campaign by a resident of North Cardiff, Junction 30 on the M4 was opened in 2015. Unknown to other motorway users, it leads directly to resident's back garden and is for their personal use only.
"The reason why there are so many mountains and hills in Wales, is because the Welsh took so much land from the English, that they had to stack it high"
- NOT true!
According to the 2011 Cencus they are estates
Population of Ely 15000
Townhill 8000
Gurnos 5000
When I was at college we had an urban studies lecturer who had us rolling about laughing when the myth that the gurnos was a huge housing estate was going around
For a town with a population of 50 odd thousand it's a big place but it's not a big place in the big picture
Holme Wood in Bradford has a population of 30000 and I think there may be even bigger estates than that
"Wales is a principality of England"
It's a very large estate but not the biggest in the UK
Considering how big it is the people who live there have been served up with crap facilities for years
Maybe it's to do with the geography but why hasn't it got a train station ? The nearest one is fairwater
It's almost forgotten like St Mellons , Llanrhymney ?
It rains all the time
That's clearly untrue
It's sunny today for example 😎😀
All Welsh people can sing.
I wish!
That everyone sounds like Stacey from Gavin and Stacey.
That if you go to a pub in a Welsh speaking place then they go quiet and are from that point probably talking about you because they know you're English. - heard this story so many times.
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.
If you are Welsh you are a good singer! They obviously haven't heard me.
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.
