I just cant stand it when welsh people go on about Wales and how good it is, when infact its not really anything special, at all! like when the charlotte church show is on, its a good show but then she constantly goes on about her fav thing being wales!! who cares?? you dont see every English presenter going on about how good england is.
Yes you do, lol.

We don't go on about how great it is.

English people NEVER talk about how great we are and how good the country is, Scotland, Ireland and Wales ALWAYS! do, its sooo annoying, its like thier all trying to prove that their country is better than England when its just not. The whole major pride thing that wales, ireland and scotland all have even effects TV shows, for example Leon, the McDonald brothers, the conway sisters (who were all simply terrible!) its just like get over it! And when I see 3! threads all about wales and welsh people it really pisses me off!

Wales a beautiful place all round, its countryside and scenic views are both romanticly tranquil and breathtaking.
I've always had fond memories of St Davids the smallest city in the UK and the furthest western point of Britain.
The countryside around that beautiful city is fabulous and in roughly 50 odd days in some 6 different visits I've never yet experienced a wet day once. I am always impressed by the friendliness of the locals they are a credit to any country Ive ever had the pleasure to visit.
As a child growing up we often took visits to Towyn in North wales, again another supremley brilliant coast line with awsome views and lovely welcoming people never to busy or to snooty when offering an answer on thier homeland they rightlyfully were proud of.

Yes, Wales and the Welsh not always well represented by the media but on the whole its a fantastic country with some of the best and friendliest people in the world living there, I for one love them

I have news for you mateys. Every nation gets stereotyped. Every nation. Notice how I said 'every'?

Why does Wales need a topic? Im not trying to be rude but the constant, in your face patriotism IS annoying. We get it. Yer welsh. Not english.

*Sigh*

"the moment someone non-welsh knows your welsh, they call you a 'sheep shagger' or a farmer. It's like arghh, think of something else to day!"

Well i would call you miners, but Thatcher saw to that.

You might represent your country better if you make slightly more logical posts.

I never said Wales was nto stereotyped. In fact, I said ALL nations are stereotyped. Wales, as you all like to constantly remind us, is a nation.

Correct?

Then what makes Wales exempt from being subject to stereotype? Nothing. Your going to be stereotyped regardless, just like every other naiton.

Now lighten up, noodle miner.

Did you know the Welsh do the same thing about Northerners/Midlands, its like a battle of the UK ha. We had so much fun when my friend moved to Wales, she must of been so fed up of all the "Have you had sex with a sheep yet?"

But it was all in the name of fun, I understand why people get annoyed... Im from Manchester imagine how many shameless comments are made haha. (Although i have been told its in Salford not Manchester, but they are close enough)

Yeah, because this is a topic about Wales, is it not?

Want me to dig up a few comedy routines about Litchenstein or something?
