"We Welsh don't like *everyone" - well, I think it's possible that Terri K was being ironic in saying that you do. One common slander against the Welsh is that they have a distrust tending towards dislike of strangers. Like all stereotypes, there's just enough truth in it to make it an effective lie.

Thinking back to the first post I was reminded of the film Good Morning, Vietnam where the butt of the plot was the man who wanted to pay polkas on the radio instead of rock. I'd have liked to hear more polkas myself, but it appeared that the troops didn't.

I get this vision of puzzled cowboys listening to Male Voice Choirs from the valleys, whie a dedicated DJ exiled from the Black Mountains holds out in a barricaded studio as the Texas Rangers come to get him. Sounds like our kind of guy.
