I've heard it's something to do with Charlotte Church. Whenever she opens her mouth the shock of it makes your body go into hibernation mode and thus freezes your body in time for a couple of hours until the brain determines she has got bored and left.

Well if it's all about going it alone, then surely England, with by far the largest population, should have a say. So far the future of the UK is being decided by a population far smaller than the population of London... so I wouldn't mind England deciding its own future.

The Queen can go with Scotland if she likes. We're keeping the jewels though.

I think they are too dependable of England in terms of everything (in terms of free travel, army, government, economy, infrastructure for example) to cope with themselves, so i don´t see it.

I know Scotland is too, but i think is Wales a bit more.

They might want it, but i don´t think they´ll do it.

Totally agree with you Andy.

What if the UK was like Canada, and Wales demanded that it become bilingual, and made laws like in canada that all signs must be in english and welsh across the whole nation? would england accept that? (in canada it's the law that all signs must be in both english and french)

and england is talking about devo max for scotland if they vote no, does that mean that wales and northern ireland also get the same devo max???

Wales isn't as egotistical as Canada though

They couldn't survive as an independent country.

[King Gizzard]

Not much point

I like Wales anyway..more than Scotland (just generally, not Scottish people exactly) probably helps that I have family there/I'm part Welsh

19% of people in Wales speak Welsh, so what would be the point in sticking Welsh signs all over the UK when the number of speakers is dropping more rapidly?

This comment says a lot, because Welsh people should feel comfortable traveling across the entire UK, that's why. just like there are accommodations made for blind people everywhere, and deaf people everywhere, and wheel chair access every where, wouldn't you want to make welsh people feel accommodated everywhere in their own nation? But welsh are not made to feel comfortable or accommodated in their own nation, are they? that's why the welsh language is dying. it's not being nurtured or accommodated in the UK at all is it.

There are more people in Britain who speak Polish as a first language than those who speak Welsh as their first language in Wales. If we're going to make all signs bilingual across the UK, Welsh wouldn't be the first choice. Or the tenth choice, for that matter. How many people speak Spanish in California? Are all your signs bilingual?

I forgot to mention, the vast majority of those who do speak Welsh speak it as a second language.

I do love it when you try though.

Keep up the campaign work for the unaccomodated Welsh. Have you ever met a Welsh person or spotted Wales on a map?

As a Welsh person, i feel that this is a load of bull, the language is not dying out because there aren't signs with Welsh on them
There aren't signs with Welsh on them in England because an even smaller percentage of the people in England speak Welsh, so why should they change all of their signs, when the the major majority of people won't have a clue of what it says?
I'd feel comfortable in every part of Britain and if i didn't, it certainly wouldn't because there weren't Welsh words plastered everywhere

Actually Marsh, It's an equal split of people who speak Welsh as a first and second language in Wales, maybe even more people doing so as their first language js

Yes, but how large is this group of Welsh speakers in the first place? A very small one.

Not a chance anywhere in the near future I'm afraid.

True, you'd find that the majority of people in west/east Wales speak Welsh fluently, but not many others anywhere else, unless I'm mistaken.
There are some places that if you go there and you speak English, you'd get weird looks from the locals like, because they literally don't understand a word you're saying

so you feel that Welsh is respected equally along with English?

I'm sure the sheep you are off to visit will be very accommodating.
