That seems reasonable, there can't be more than a few dozen of them employed to jump through hoops at seaworld.

What have stats ever proved ?

Never met a welsh person with an IQ above 3 and most welsh people work at mcdonalds/BK or car wash places whilst still claiming benefits.

I think I was being quite generous with 97% estimate

Do Welsh people actually live in Wales. Judging by Question Time last night, most seem to live in cloud cuckoo land.

I'm Welsh...

FWIW my IQ was measured at 143 some years back, so probably my moving to England improved the average in both countries.

Just as an aside, you do realise that the other posts in this thread are an offence against the discrimination legislation

Good job I'm tolerant, as well as intelligent, isn't it...

100%. It's also 100% in Scotland and 100% in NI. The English are paying for it all

You wrong.

It is a shame what happened to Wales after the pits closed. It's as though the heart was ripped out.
Wales is really nice as a country.

There are some really struggling places though in mid-Wales and the North West.
