Hold on, I want to enter Lanarkshire. It's got Cumbernauld in it which apparently has the ugliest shopping centre in the UK

The Cascades in Portsmouth is the shittest shopping centre I've ever been to.

Yeah, but this one was actually on the tele.

Plymouth is so shit that a proper shopping centre is only just being built. They did try a few years back, and came up with something so shit that only pikey stores like Wilkos and Peacocks inhabited it. The new one looks like it's going to be dressed-up glitter coated shit, flashy but still fundamentally shit.

I'm opening a thread called' terrible shopping centres'

We'll have a vote later on as to which one is the crappiest.

I'd have to vote for Sussex, because it's where I live.

West is best, of course :)

Oi cheesebreath

No towns or counties in Wales?

Stange that... I could've sworn someone told me once that the place I've been living in for 20 yesrs of my life is indeed a town. Oh well, I see that you are vastly well travelled in Wales so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

So if I ever want any info on British history/geography, I'll remember that you are the one who knows. You know, things like that WE were here first, and stuff like that WE are the British not you (the word Britain comes from the Celtic word Brython), and that despite this we still burn the Union Jack because we would rather have nothing to do with you... So this whole thread is rather farcical, don't you think?

Cracking second post :01:

You're not a sugar-miner by any chance, are you? :unsure:

A sense of humour is a wonderful thing.

Have a spell, flowe.

It's just some good natured banter, I assure you that altho' I'm one of only a handful of Welsh people who frequent this board, I give as good as I get.

Which part of Wales are you from? The nice part or the part where the cottage burning mentalists live.

Shit, I didn't mean to upset any militant cottage-burning Welshmen. I'll probably wake up tomorrow with a sheep's head next to me. :(

I had one of those ram-a-grams for my 21st :happy:

For my 21st we threw rocks at the Welsh, Scottish and Irish peasants of my town from our huge Ivory Tower.

Llyn? :O

Burning the Union Jack is a little harsher than some friendly banter between people who know where the boundries of lighthearted teasing in recognition of our differences lay. Funnily enough though, the worst racism I have ever encountered in my life, as a mostly Greek woman with a coloured Stepfather, Niece and Nephew, was in North Wales, because of my English accent.

Even a Welsh surname didn't make any difference. :ermm:

I've been to North Wales a few times - out of duty - it was where a girl I met on holiday lived and I had to drive there to shag her. She was rather lovely, aesthetically.

Terrible place, they all talk like scousers. If JP and spd were ever to venture there, they would certainly need to put an extra padlock on their money-belt to feel safe.

This was Clwyd, maybe in Gwynedd they speak with a Welsh accent but people from N. Wales are generally a bit backward and mental - so I've never gone there to find out.

I spent a while around Anglesey and Bangor. I've never really been the same since. :fear:

I think I remember you telling me that now :schnauz:

What about Scotland and Ireland (as you mentioned Wales already) do they not fit in to the original post they have counties too.

Pisses me off sometimes how some English people think they are the only Country in the U.K.

Wow, I'm catching me quite a few noobs with that rod. :rod:

Do I take it that you'd be disappointed that the 'interesting' part of the sheep is missing?:naughty:

As for the bestest county, it's gotta be Surrey. Not that over-wealthed west end of it; I mean the gritty bit over near Kunt.
Sussex ain't bad (East & West) if you can put up with all the pensioners... my old girl lives in a 'residential caravan' (are you calling her a pikey?) near Chichester; very nice little village but full of over-60s.

Ladies and Gentlemen

OK OK, I feel that I have made my point, so I will lower my defences, and leave the politics in favour of more light-hearted chit-chat...

As for the best british county, after my own area I would have to say that the Scottish county of Inverness is the most majestic in natural beauty.

Don't think I'm being anti-English again, because I've been to the majority of English counties along the years, but none of them really stand out as being something special. For a 'best county' I mainly go for the natural geography, not so much the man-made elements.

Inverness-shire is home of the Isle of Skye and Ben Nevis (the view up there is amazing!), not to mention the A87 from Fort William to the end of Skye, the most breath-taking stretch of road I've ever been on. If anyone fancies a road trip anywhere, it's highly recommended.

Anyone else know what I'm on about here?

Your search - welsh people burning union flag - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.
* Try fewer keywords.

I went up Ben Nevis once.

It was foggy, and then it hailed a bit. This was in May. I was most disappointed. :dabs:

If I recall, your point was that there are, in fact, towns and counties in Wales. Most of us were pretty much aware of that already.

However, you seemed to be under the misapprehension that Welsh people don't want anything to do with the English people. Which seems odd as I'm sure there was a referendum back when I was too young to vote and we decided to stay part of the UK.

I'm also curious as to why you asserted that 'Britain' is a Celtic word, as if it backed up your (correct) assertion that we were here first. It is debatable whether 'Britain' is a derivative of Celtic word or not, but if it was, then it is a reference to what the Celtic people called our island.

There is little evidence of the Celtic people migrating to the UK - indeed, our own culture and language probably pre-dates that of the true Celtic people ... altho' we did copy them a lot. It is much more likely that the people that the Romans pushed to the outer reaches of the British Isles when they invaded were original Britons. Most of whom had land in modern day England.

Norfolk

A Beautiful coastline, A mix of Sand dune beaches, high Cliffs in the middle of the Norfolk coastline and ending up with fantastic marshes.
Because of the variation of our coastline it habitats a vast range wildlife & sealife, MAFF "DEFRA" want's the norfolk coastline made into a no fishing zone, it's already a Biosphere Reserve.

Would not move, it's a great place to live.
