I'm not only looking back Shambles (although that is one symptom of being Welsh) - but the past is a bright light behind us. It shows us where we are going. As somebody said.
As I said, language and culture are the only things that make a Welshman different from an Englishman. We are, of course, all glad to be British (that's a significant label in itself...)
What did you think of those documentaries about the English, if you saw them?
