Ah well - if we're going down to town level, there are the Taffs (which in the west tends to mean Cardiffians), the Swansea Jacks, the Turks (Llanelli), St Peter's Boys (Carmarthen), Cardis (Cardigan, tho' most of all Cardiganshire really), Cofis (Caernarfon), Moch Mon (Anglesey Pigs, tho' again the whole county really) and probably a whole lot I don't know about! Can't remember the one for Haverfordwest, and I think there's one for Fishguard too.

Gervase, yeh - we get Hambones in Carmarthen too. And they tend to call the town lads "tras y dre" (town trash). Mostly friendly stuff in Carmarthen any more but I hear that it has been known to get a bit ugly in some smaller towns ...

I've heard some Cofis use Mongols and Tibetans for S and N Walians.
