I didn't have a problem with that, if a few eurocrats would miss Wales on their travels, OK by me! Just wish they could do the same with that lot in Cardiff Bay!!!!
I have both empathy and sympathy for the Welsh as a nation......
They get as much grief from their neighbour as we do,.... only they are closer and have a hell of a lot less to fight back with
DSL, were you 'imported' to add some weight to their defence?

Oi, who's been talking to you!! The diet is working, just one bottle of vino for the whole weekend!
As to aiding their defences, they are not that desperate yet. My experiences gained in four years in TA & 8 months in RAF have never been called into actin yet! I could throw apples at the English (bumper crop), but would be a waste - looking into cider making!

That was a long time ago, saw her being broken up near Swansea as a kid. It was the County class destroyer you were on, not the Type 42???

Ah, might have been another boat, was definately County Class with sea slug front launchers. Never mind, I have been known to be wrong. I'll go make dinner!
PS Might have been exocet front launcher, i get confused these days!
