What a shame that mocking us Welsh is still such a permitted bigotry. R.

Jeez, what your problem with Welsh people bandit? :/ You don't like that they are proud of their country? umm ok

...i have no problem ......i chatted happily with a welsh friend this morning

....i expressed an opinion asking a question

... my view is that patriotism is misplaced ...something that a caring society would
move away from

You think the Welsh come across as uncaring because they're proud of being Welsh? I think the opposite is true tbh, from any experiences I've had with Welsh people on a personal level or from seeing how fans of their sports behave internationally, the fact that they're proud of being Welsh makes them a more friendly, welcoming and caring bunch

...it's good to be hospitable.............it has nothing to do with being patriotic

....again my view.......it's sad that nationality even comes into anything

Mark L

why? It's a fact that people come from different countries and will have different ways etc :laugh:

Also, in the example I gave I being Welsh has a lot to do with why they're a particularly hospitable bunch :shrug:

You only have to look at the behaviour of us compared to the English during the Euros in France. Shocking reports about the behaviour of English fans. The welsh were a huge hit in France. I was there and heard nothing but compliments about our people.

Being patriotic doesn't equate to being uncaring. Equally, those coming to match days in the capital that I've met have had nothing but nice things to say about our hospitality. R.

Not that i'm trying to turn this into an English v Welsh thing - I'm just highlighting that you can be patriotic and caring, and that there's both nice and ugly examples of patriotism. R.

Us Irish got the award for best fans of the Euros though I'm afraid :fan:

I met many an irish fan in Paris and Bordeaux! In fact I was in a Scottish pub in Paris where I met a lovely irish couple. We swore to keep in contact but sadly haven't... R.

I love the welsh and Irish - they are nearly as nice as scottish people


and one big plus point is that they are not E******
