The Welsh are all very welcoming people, even to the Sais. Like everywhere else, its idiots they struggle with.

What is idiotic about asking why we subsidise people that actively dislike us, its not like it has improved anything?

(a) You don't, Wales is not a separate country, merely a locally devolved administration. Economically it's been part of England since the 1600s.

(b) We don't dislike the Sais, but we don't respect those that can't treat our nationality, language and history with respect. All three are, after all, rather older than yours.

(c) Most of the problems in Wales today are down to that locally devolved administration, who couldn't manage a car boot sale.

(d) And if you look back the margin for devolution was tiny - about the size of half of Carmarthen (the town, not the county). There is no rabid nationalist movement beyond the usual suspects.

So I repeat...

According to one source it means "F*** the Chinese", but whatever floats your boat.

"Saesneg" is "English", the language, not the people and by extension people who speak English. "Sais" is more accurate, but that means anyone who isn't Welsh, so don't take it personally. Oddly enough, Sais excludes North Western England, who share many links with what is now Wales.

Welsh is a very unique language. Most European languages have quite a bit in common, go to Croatia and you can guess what some signs mean, but Welsh is totally incomprehensible.
