The Welsh are of course a class above the english and are afforded better treatment here in oz. The Welsh and Australians have something in common: We both cant stand bladdy whinging pommies..... innit like... allright butt ?

In fact, the people of the South Wales Coast are bemoaning the fact that the English middle Classes are currently not looking to buy second homes as it is having a knock on effect in the local economy.

Maybe there's no group of people so small that one half won't start putting down the other half!
