    I know I should find a funny answer here, but lack of sleep prevents me at the moment.. so in the meantime, think on this -

    How can you say the welsh are from Wales when Wales is NOT a COUNTRY?... I kid you not !! Forget your geography lessons.. I was taught the same as you so it's a shock to me too... to think we yomped over the Brecon Beacons thinking we were in the Land of Song... not a bit of it !!

    Contact the Secretary of State for Wales if you don't believe me.. or the First Minister of the Welsh Assembly.. http://www.walesoffice.gov.uk/contact_us.html

    Wales is NOT EVEN REPRESENTED on the Union Flag - go figure that one out when welshmen and women are serving on the front line as well as giving thier lives only to be repatriated under a Union Flag where thier heritage is not even represented..?

    I'm sorry this is not the answer you were looking for mate.. I'll get some kip and see if I can do better later.

    In mean time - Cymru am Byth :-)
