Sousa Leaves Swansea

[fcukcov]

Shouldn't Wales be seperate to England in a similar fashion to Scotland?

At least this thread stayed on topic.

Not quite - the Channel Islands are a part of the British Isles - and, since the foundation of the Welsh Assembly, England and Wales should not be lumped together (the ****ers would not even let me use by *English* bus pass to get to the City of Cardiff Stadium!!).

There are still about 20,000 people who use Irish as their first language, mostly living in Gaeltacht (sp?) regions where English will not usually be heard.

My Grandfather's first language is Irish, he didn't learn English until he was a teenager. He now lives in Leicester and people who meet him think he's just very quiet and reserved, but in actual fact he struggles to keep up with conversations. When he visits home, a gaeltacht area in Donegal, he's a different, chatty person

True, but, the England and Wales still share the same legal system (Scotland and Northern Ireland don't)

Probably because there's no such place.

Coming over here, taking our benefits, not even bothering to learn the language etc etc etc............ :icon_wink

There is an interview with the Swansea chairman on the BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/8788871.stm

The topic of compensation came up, and he claims it's a small amount that has been paid.

I believe that technically Wales is not a Country like Scotland, but is a Principality. The Union Jack has elements from the flags of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but nothing from the Welsh flag.

The Welsh contingent on here should know more about that than me though

Sticking a dragon in the middle would improve it.

Plenty of dragons in Cardiff, not the place to look for a new mrs
