I’m not welsh but I grew up watching welsh bbc programming in the afternoon when wagging off school. Always dreamt of a converted barn/farmhouse in North Wales! And I’m still after a copy of ‘Morgan’s Boy’....

To be fair to the Welsh they do take a strong line on immigration. This would never happen in England..

Whole load of us went up to Tenby once for my mate Pete's stag do. I was the best man and to cut a long story short I got handcuffed to this Welsh bird and found myself still chained to her when I had to pop to the bogs for a Neville.
Anyway, she gave me a blowjob and the smirk I had on my face when I came back into the pub must of said it all as this massive cheer went up from all the lads.
This sockie's a real charmer.

Wales is also a unit of measurement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...surement#Wales
Equal to 20,779 km2 (8,023 sq mi), the country of Wales is used in phrases such as "an area the size of Wales" or "twice the area of Wales".[25][26] England is 6.275 times the size of Wales, and Scotland is roughly four times the size of Wales. Ireland is four times larger than Wales, and France is about twenty-five times larger.
In older British and Commonwealth atlases, it was common to show a known area at the same scale, and the usual area to show was either Wales for smaller scales, or Great Britain for larger areas.[citation needed]
The British comedy show The Eleven O'Clock Show parodied the use of this measurement, by introducing a news article about an earthquake in Wales, stating that an area the size of Wales was affected. The Radio 4 programme More or Less introduced the idea of "kilowales" – an area 1,000 times the size of Wales. The Register introduced the nanowales (20.78 m2).[27]
The measurement has been adopted by rainforest conservation charity Size of Wales, aiming to conserve an area of rainforest equating to the area of Wales. On 1 March 2013, the charity announced that they had succeeded[28] in conserving an area of rainforest the size of Wales and will continue to operate to sustain and increase the protected area.[29]

Welsh for oven is 'poppy' - and Welsh for microwave oven is 'popty-ping' - classic!
At current clientco lift goes all American - 'Car D', the ones at DVLA Morriston would go all 'Flwr Pedwan' or something which I think was 'Fourteenth Floor'

However, we may have educated one or two to think a little harder before blithely slagging off something they don't understand

Ynys Mon is the original name of Anglesey (another English-enforced name...). AM is "Assmebly Member". Rhun is an old Welsh forename and "ap Iowerth" is "the son of Iowerth" in the same way that MacTavish is the son of Tavish.

No mate. Welsh has 7 vowels. a,e,i,o,u,w and y. It's different language from English; the letters have different sounds. Just as as in German, "w" is pronounced "vee", or in French "h" isn't even pronounced.

Fun fact - Ynys Mon is also known as 'mam cymru', or mother of wales. On account that it looks (ever so slightly) like a head.

I doubt Ynys Môn is the original name or even the original proto-Welsh name. It is the modern. Welsh name. We know the Latin name was Mona so we can assume the indigenous name in the first century was similar.
