OOp's

Oh My I made a terrible Faux par in my post the other day.
I never even noticed until my good friend Tracey (sender of gifts) pointed it out.
I said "my friends in England" Oops, they don't live in England , they live in Wales!

Now to people outside the UK this may not seem like much of a slip but believe me it is. Imagine if I called one of you Americans "Canadian"- Although I still cannot tell the difference in the accent- at all. To me North America has 3 accents overall, General, Southern- Ya all and NY/NJ Soprano style. As you can see most people fit under the "general" label, Canadian included.

Now Tracey is English so I can get away with my slip a little better but her hubby Stephen is not English and he is very proud of his Welsh roots , so sorry S please forgive me.
Its not because I am a Cestrian Honest!

Its a bit of a stereotype that us Chester dwellers hate the Welsh (Chester is right on the England/ Wales boarder)

Cestrians are often perceived (partly-jokingly) of being 'anti-Welsh' although many have Welsh ancestors. This is exemplified by the fact that the Town Hall clock does not face west, towards Wales, and an archaic law which states any Cestrian may shoot a Welshman with a longbow if he loiters within the walls after sunset when the curfew bell chimes (although this law no-longer offers legal protection against prosecution for murder). However, many Cestrians work and shop in Wales, and Chester shares a radio station with Wrexham, Wales.

There is plenty of "good" things about Wales:

• Tom Jones
• Catherine Zeta-Jones
• Anthony Hopkins
• Ioan Gruffudd
• Coal
• Leeks
• Daffodills

I could go on and on about the merits of Wales but I wont for more info visit here

Now to all Welsh visitors:
