Makes you wonder what would happen if England put up up the shutters on the Welsh seeking treatment for life threatening illnesses .
Clatterbridge is full of them and Insuspect Christie’s too.
Nobody questions their accent or language they speak .
More important matters |
Another despicable post, what is the matter with you? |  | | |

This is clearly factually incorrect.
The UK is of 3 nations and the occupied north of Ireland.
Therefore we are not one people.
We are part of a single political structure, of course.
Do you think the Scots and English are one people ?
Do you think the Irish and English are one people ?
Are the Ukrainians and the Russians one people perhaps ?
I think you should take the BBC with a pinch of salt.
The ‘Great’ in Great Britain refers to the island landmass, its not a comment on the achievements of the long gone British Empire.
The uk union would be a lot stronger if it modernises, without that it will end in its current form within a decade. Drakers is a yoon but he has said as much.
Rowan and Laura’s Commission reports back in November. If it concludes that Wales and England are one people then i will donate £100 to your charity of choice. And i dont bet !! |
The majority of us are mongrels. Myself included. Welsh, English and Germanic blood. |  | | |

My reference to one people is there is no difference between the South Walians and the people of my nearest city, Manchester. Same background, same look on life, same impression of being ignored from those in power.
I’ve lived in England now for longer than lived in wales, more or less, around 20 years. I just find the ‘anyone but England’ and the general dislike of them, to be baffling. |
Absolutely. I do a lot of work in Glos, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and get treated amazingly, just like I do in South Wales.
Loads of Welsh ex pats and kids from Welsh stock in those areas. People are just people and like will mix with like regardless of nationality.
The chip on some people's shoulders is incredible. Building barriers where none exist. Honestly you will find yourself drawn towards people of your own standing, regardless of where they are from. [Post edited 11 Sep 2022 18:46]

Many in Wales are not as wealth as in England. They need a crutch. The language is one such aid as it gives strength to the soul. Just for being brought up a Welsh speaker.
In the SE of England maybe, but my point was Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton, not many wealthy people and certainly not much wealthier than Wales.
I wish I’d kept up Welsh, and still try to learn it through duolingo, it won’t benefit me up here, but it’s my language and wish I could speak it.
I moved away, simply because, this is where I was offered a training contract, had it been Swansea or Cardiff I’d have moved there. Also part of it was I didn’t know anyone up here and I thought I’d do me good moving somewhere completely new. I also applied to Australia and NZ too.
I’ve no reason to come back but that’s simply because I live here and my life is here. I still like going home to see mum and dad but there’s no other reason to return but that’s just practicalities. If my wife was offered a huge job in wales, and it made sense, we’d move there.
People are people wherever you go, the things you describe are alive and well in wales but also in other places, but they’re a minority.
People, generally are decent, nice and will help you if you need it. |
The last figures I found show household wealth in Wales was higher than in Scotland, Yorkshire, North East, North West (which would be your area), West Midlands and East Midlands.
The South West, South East and London had more.
PS I thought I was replying to OHL post. [Post edited 11 Sep 2022 18:52]

Fabulous post John . You see life like I do. No parochialism. Go out and do it, stop making barriers. The majority of us go to the same schools, have the opportunity to learn and progress, to better your life. | | | |

I've lived in England for over twenty five years and it's given me a good life, my accent has never been a barrier.
That said, I would move back tomorrow, Hiraeth is very real to me | | | |

Of course.
Certainly true, thats why welsh nationalism is a civic nationalism - as is Scotlands.
Its modern, diverse, and its inclusive. |  |

Annals of Ulster called Rhodri Mawr king of Britons.
Gruffydd ap Llywelyn ruled all of Wales and was recognised by England that he ruled all of Wales. |
Yes for all of 7 years, 1057-1063, then we went back to all the infighting and backstabbing. Back then no kingdom was safe for very long, from trouble started from within or without.
Thats the difference with a modern Uk, Westminster rules by the mandate of the people and many more people in Wales give Westminster the mandate than they do the Senedd. | |

Not a level playing field him getting to the top because he was Welsh, he got to the top because he was head and shoulders better than anyone else.
He recently seemingly had an issue over him and a Welsh flag, that was a Wales England thing and they didn't like it. |
I worked in. a National Company and was told to remove a Welsh flag from my email signature as did others who displayed a Union Flag , no discrimination there | |

Where I work they keep telling us to use the gay pride colour thing on our email signature with the company logo and keep handing out gay pride lanyards like sweets every 5 minutes,but the last Euros the boys asked if they could put up St George Cross flag on our unused flag pole which was empty for years they were told no incase it offended anyone. The next gay pride day thing there was a rainbow flag up there.... |  |

I did dig out a colleague once when we were doing internal training, the trainer who is a typical trainer all smiley and happy clappy started the day where we had to introduce ourselves....blah blah then he did the whole "Wooo there's lovely" to me in that stupid way English people do sometimes that they think is hilarious so I wiped the floor with the tw@t
I said don't be so disrespectful to me,my family and my country I said to him if I was from Pakistan would he take the p1ss out of the way I spoke....I broke him it killed him and the day he immediately apologised and I had an apology email the next day and one from HR asking if I wanted to take things further which I didn't.
It's funny what's just banter and what's disrespectful ....when it suits ! | |

I'm half English and half Welsh lived most of my life in Wales and now live in England and love the whole banter in work with the English boys but when some think it's ok to cross the boundary uninvited that's what p1sses me off | |

I like a bit of banter and I'm not just talking England Wales banter but all types of banter, but I have found that some people that give it and try and have a laugh at other peoples expense and sometimes they go too far and try and belittle are the very ones that can't take it when its given back in kind. | |

One poster on here gives it out all the time having a go at Wales, naming no names but easy enough to work out, but when there is a little dig at England, it's mods, mods, mods, hate, hate, hate, my family is English, the Irish are terrible, IRA, IRA, mods, mods, mods.
It would be funny and laughable if it was for not trying to get people banned. [Post edited 12 Sep 2022 10:53]

I’ll go you one further, John, and without wanting to sound too much like Jimmy Maxton I’d suggest that the people I work and socialise with have a much deeper commonality of outlook with industrial workers in the Grand Est or the Ruhr than they do with the average north Walian. |  |
