It wouldn’t surprise me if Manchester put a fence up around itself. Fences are common on that Island. Scotland has the Hadrian Wall between itself and the southerners. Wales even dug a trench.

At one time, some developer had a brilliant idea – there are lots of abandoned cottages and even villages in Wales. They were bought up, refurbished and sold to Englishmen. And Welsh Nationalists burned them down.

I remember seeing a sign along the railway in Wales – "Come home to a roaring fire. Buy a cottage in Wales."http://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon12.gif

Yes, the Welsh do have a robust sense of humour. After all, look what they’ve done to the Gaelic language! 😉

I’ve always believed Cymru was a joke on the Sassenach.

Indeed. I am deeply tickled by switching the ee’s with the oo’s and the p’s with the q’s. It was a cunning innovation, matched only by the invention of hanging spoons on the wall and eating with double-edged axes. I hope Martha Stewart gives the Welsh some coverage on her new show.

The Welsh are a small people who have been oppressed for almost a thousand years – why inflict Martha Stewart on them?http://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon10.gif
 
By the way, to return to the subject of international walls: do you know that that trench between Wales and England is actually half-trench / half-wall? The trench part is not very deep and the wall part is about a meter high.

I’m not sure whether the Welsh were counting on the English to be very short – which by the way they are not – or whether they were expecting the English to take a hint – which by the way they seem not to have, if the Prince of Wales is any indication.

A short wall would be much cheaper than a high wall and the number of miles our respective nations must protect is substantially higher than the number of miles in existence on that Island hanging off the end of Europe. Do you think Mexicans and Canadians will be more suggestible than the English?

Or will we really have to built a stonking hulk of a fence? Pity we couldn’t just turn the Rocky Mountains like a dial. That would wipe out Western civilization though. Still…

Oh sheesh! It took about ten seconds for the penny to fall but when it did … now I have to wipe Brio Chinotto from my computer screen. Anybody else drinking anything? Take cover.

They are indeed, if their basketball team is any indication.

I take it you didn’t eat anything while you were in Wales?

British Cusine.

I had a project in England once, and stayed at a hotel with a Ministry of Defense Contract. The Brits we were working with warned us, “The contract calls for the full English breakfast. Make sure you eat it, and don’t let them tell you you’re only entitled to the Continental breakfast.”

The first warning, I went into the dining room – and the English breakfast would kill at fifty meters.http://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon12.gif

I take it that English breakfast is a disciplinary measure? What did you do to offend them?

Ah! Roadkill on toast with marmite. I take it you had the Continental breakfast?

I looked at it and said, “Holy Coronary, Batman!”

The English apprently live on grease – they cook kidneys so as to divert your attention from the cholosterol you’re ingesting.

Ahhhhh. Steak and kidney pie with that filo crust on top. You know the kind you get in a tin? I must admit that I like that. Don’t tell anyone, will you?
 
I thought Manchester seceded from the EU.

Oh the problem is far worse than that, in England, all the southerners want any land past the home counties to be fenced off… anything above Birminngham is considered the dangerous north 😃

Did you know that it costs £4.50 to enter Wales, but nothing to get out - by the main bridge of course. LLyandwwybreffi heduu cymru 😃

I don’t know, didn’t the UN or somebody just miss Wales completely off the latest geographical map. 😛

I hope you didn’t eat it, if you can get it in your mouth before it melts the fork, then you are lucky, but then it will only burn through your stomach and clog your arteries - oohhhh its a no win situation. Enlgish breakfast or continental hmmm give me a crossiant anyday.

The worst is the Scots though deep fried mars bars ewwww.
