Seen a” survey” on FB as to where is the least friendly part of our country
Just about 50/50 London and Wales with 100% citing Caernarfon as the worst and accepting South Wales far friendlier
Personally , London and the S/E least friendly
Nobody will make eye contact nor acknowledge you
My opinion is South Eales IS generally friendly and some places exceptionally so
I’d say the Gogs give Wales a bad name
Opinions ? [Post edited 14 Sep 14:03]

London in opinion but what you say about the Gogs is true, they can be extremely unfriendly even to South walians depending on whether they are indy supporting nationalists because they are some of the most bitter, angry people I've come across. | | | |

I’ve actually stopped going to Bala lake to swim.
It’s grotesquely unfriendly
All Welsh ?
Forget it
Some will deny this but I’m afraid it’s an overwhelming reality
If there are worse places then Llangefni or Bangor compete,although the students anglicise Bangor
They are quick enough to take foreigners money
There is little attempt to interact with English visitors and those moving for a retirement or renovating a derelict home had better wise up
Speaking Welsh doesn’t count as if you do and it’s not local gog welsh then you are still an outsider
Caernarfon and Bangor city is a tasty deal too
It’s a beautiful part of the world however but no visitor is going to be fully welcomed | |

It's not all of them, I know a few from up there who follow the Swans and they are great blokes. They love Wales and want improvements true, but don't we all. | | | |

Of course not all but on generic terms it’s right
East of Conway is ok
Wrexham’s folk are fine
Majority are LFC or Man Utd
The buses along the A55 every game day is evidence | |

To be honest, Keith, I cop a load of abuse off the keyboard warriors for being |South Walian and not being able to speak Welsh. As soon as I criticise the Senedd (facebook page on Welsh politics) they ask straightaway, am I Cymraeg, do I speak Cymraeg, do I want indepepndence and when I answr no to number 2 the abuse starts...I can't be Welsh and not speak it and off they go. | | | |

Why would anyone grade a fellow countryman by the mother tongue
80 per cent have English as mother tongue and are as “ proud” as some Gog in a narrow Welsh only village of being Welsh
Nobody has ever in my lifetime ferreted to people from NW Wales as friendly
People visit as it’s beautiful
I visit Northumberland as the people are beautiful and friendly no matter you’re Welsh or whatever | |

Keyboard warriors, my favourite topic this month. | |

The pubs in Charlton Village east Of Greenwich and south of Eltham are particularly unfriendly.
North west Welsh have a nasty habit of speaking their own language in public places in the presence of English people. This is seen as anti social by some. They do not seem concerned about Pakistani or Bangladeshis at home.. [Post edited 15 Sep 11:49]

Similar happens when you walk into a pub in parts of West Wales & they all start speaking Welsh.
It certainly doesn't make them more Welsh than me. In fact Id go as far as say I am far more concerned about Wales thriving as a country than the PC lot.
Personal opinion but I think Wales (as a country) has far more important things to spend money on than promoting the Welsh language.
As for unfriendly parts of the country, I find if you treat people with respect they give it back wherever you are. [Post edited 15 Sep 12:27]

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

When I was back in South Wales for two months was surprised by the amount of English people in my local - 4 English and one German girl - they all said they moved here because of how friendly people were .....so yes I'd assume it's mostly N Wales that gets this reputation although people in Tenby and Saundersfoot have moaned louder about the volume of tourists in recent years.... |  |

By and large South Walians are friendly
Mainly in Wales , the divide, and it is , lies with urban and rural
Urban more cosmopolitan so open
Rural more conservative and reserved
For friendly , the north east is best
Also Liverpool has a massively positive friendly reputation and why it’s a significant cruise port | |

All over mate, from the vilest bastards who would do anything for a tenner to the most trusted people who have already gone above and beyond during our long friendships. Which has been reciprocated. Nobody needs friends on any terms just that they are friends and there for any reason is enough. | |

That’s very profound Keith
The friends I have now have been with me fifty yrs
I still have done on Swansea
In life, many fall by the wayside making you reflect as to what friends are | |

The ignorance of the locals speaking their local tongue in front of a Welshman that could not be arsed to make any effort.
No wonder yoy do not like them. Peasants!
It's an English trope actually. They sort of knew they were speaking English before they entered the Pub. "as any normal whites person would do ". "The CYMRAEG was just for Show.".
It's disrespectful tosh from th flagman defending English interests in Wales. [Post edited 15 Sep 18:16]

Most unfriendly place I’ve ever visited in the UK by a country mile is Lampeter. The whole time we were there we were aggressively asked “are you English?”. I got randomly assaulted by this big fat monster of a woman in a pub, apparently she didn’t like the way I looked at her and she just started battering me. Then she had the cheek to call the police and said I assaulted her. They took one look at the cctv, saw I did literally nothing apart from sit there and be battered and they asked if I wanted to press charges. I didn’t want to go through the rigmarole of it so I said no. Should have in hindsight.
Couldn’t wait to get away from the place. Will never go back. |  |

North Walians are called unfriendly and ignorant for speaking Welsh in pubs in their own villages by tourist. It is not an acceptable point of view. It is repeated time after time.
NO English man is offended if the man in the Pakistani corner shop speaks his native tongue in Slough. Its a form of gaslighting. | |

That's what a lot of my older relatives used to do including my aunts and uncles. Quite bizarre though because a few of my cousin's first language was Welsh |  |

Yet Liverpool as a City was born of Welsh and Irish workers. You always get the odd fruit bat. I've always found people from the North West very friendly. Especially Mancs. As an aside I have a mate from Oldham likes his Rugby League but won't support the English RU side. | | | |
