whats with the insult! 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 p****s me off!
You just completely contradicted yourself

The reason English people don't go on about how great England is, is because it's not great.

I personally haven't got anything against England, but it's narrow-minded people who have never been to Wales and that base their perception of the country on stupid parodies that annoy me.

Im not narrow minded, ive been to Wales twice to visist family and i really didnt like it that much, so when I see like 4 threads saying how amazing the place is I think I have a right to say that I dont agree, after all voicing opinions is the main point of forums.

I could only understand someone living in like Iraq or Africa saying they didnt like their own country, but saying you dont like England seems a bit odd to me becuase its one of the greatest nations on earth and has the best living conditions, including Wales, Scotland & Ireland. So what is wrong with England?? did you have some traumatic past experience here?

Firstly, Africa isn't a country...
Secondly, the reason I hate England is because it's full of Xenophobia and people believing it's the greatest nation. That's not pride, it's ignorance.

It's just a personal preference I guess, I don't like countries that assume they're the best and look down on other places. I'd much rather live somewhere else in the UK.

When i said Africa you know that I meant the countries in it, and also what you have said is complete rubbish, IMO England doesnt have enough pride. And if you hate living in one of the best countries in the world, do us a favour and move.

In your opinion, its the best country in the world. Don't go and tell someone to leave just because they have an opinion that doesn't match yours. That's pretty harsh.

Well, I'm back.
I'm not going to swear this time, SamR you need to get out of your bubble though mate.

Wales is a great country, England is a great country, Ireland is a great country and Scotland is a great country!

I never once said that "Ooh, don't stereotype Wales, but you can continue to stereotype other countries."

I know other countries get stereotyped.. but that's not what this topic is about, it's about when people stereotype Wales and SamR thinking he's the big man (once again) wants to rant and moan all the time.

Sorry Sam you said 'English people aren't patriotic?' you sound very patriotic to me "Oh England is amazing, get out Lauren if you don't like it!"

I never usually even think about England or being English I just get annoyed when I hear constant comments about how good Wales and other parts of the UK are compared to England, The welsh people are mostly not like that, its usually English (LAUREN) who talk about how good other parts of the UK are, And all he welsh people on TiBB wont know what Im talking about becuase they actually live there.
Oh and Lauren stupid comments such as "Ouch, Ouch" arnt really what TiBB moderators do on here
