My English mates call me a sheepshagger. Should we be "offended" by that? One of my English PC-loving mates even asked me why I'm not offended: he thinks I ought to be. There's an entire grievance industry out there with an army of people wanting to be offended by anything and everything trivial, don't join their ranks.

There are far more important things in life to worry about, than a few paragraphs having a lighthearted poke at us sheepshag- uhh I mean Welsh.
I'm not offended by the article itself, its just the double standards that annoy me. I knew the reaction I'd get was "its a joke", but other people don't have to put up with it

If I wrote an article in the Sunday Times calling all Bristolians the result of incest and that they live in a backwards, third world society I'd be ostracised and rightly so. In fact I doubt the editor would allow it to be printed
