Am I once again to be the only person in the room to stand up for Wales? So be it...
I think Wales is a lovely place. My family went there four years in a row, and rented the same house in Pwhlelli(sp). It didn't rain once. The beaches in Wales are gorgeous white-sand ones (not like the manky brown North Sea beaches or the nasty pebbly Channel beaches), and the sea is warm and very nice to swim in. The people there are very friendly, and mostly speak at least passable English, so you can get by.
And the Welsh Language, if you ever actually hear it spoken, is a very beautiful and melodic one. No, it's true - it's just the place names that are impossible to pronounce without half a pint of phlegm in your throat... I reckon they only made them like that to drive away tourists...
Tourist #1: So where shall we go this year?
Tourist #2: Let's go to Plachhtigradshtipo-
Tourist #3: F*ck it, let's just go to York instead...
Which is why we end up with so many tourists here in York...
EDIT:
:
Tom laughed our socks off at that one.
