The A534, A483, A55, A548 all great things in Wales as they lead into ENGLAND :lol:

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

I love it how we (the Welsh) lay claim to the origins of all that is great and good. My dad, a diehard nationalist from North Wales, banged on about how Elvis' ancestors came from West Wales to much ridicule but apparently there might be some truth in it.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Hoho. My English husband calls it West England.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Ambergris is very useful and valuable too, if you are lucky enough to find some.

Did any Welsh men/women invent anything important? Just asking because I don't know.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Don't know about inventing, but the Tudor's were Welsh.

Then there was Welshman Richard Williams (or Richard ap William as it would have been), who ended up as Sir Richard Williams and lived in Huntington.

Henry VIII thought the Welsh 'ap' thing would go against him and persuaded him to go under his brother-in-law, Thomas Cromwell's surname. His great grandson Oliver, then helped remove a future king.

The Roman's referred to the Welsh as Breton's and the Breton land included Merseyside, Cumbria and South West Scotland.

Aneurin Bevan invented the NHS!

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

So the Welsh invented the Church of England? How perverse.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Ryan Giggs? Imogen Thomas? Their child?

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Damn! I was going to say the exact same thing but you beat me to it!! Yes, the Welsh invented a church borne from the desires of a randy old Welsh goat.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

According to my father, and other like minded nationalists, we also invented oxygen, fire, motorways and close harmony singing

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Apart from the Welsh connection, aren't all churches started that way?

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

I dated a Welsh girl with 38 double D‘s. It was the most ridiculous name I‘d ever heard.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

The Gilbern Invader. Not a convertible but mildly interesting anyway.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

DDolly?

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

We once stayed in a the converted garage of Bertrand Russell's holiday home.

Siân Phillips and Anthony Hopkins.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Tut. Our Anthony Hopkins is from Brighton and currently lives in Gatineau.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Not Anthony Hopkins, just someone he tried to be.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Shall we see Stevens? If so I should advise I2C now, she'll need time to still her fast beating heart.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

I think not. I2C may relax into my gentle arms. As long as you know who is in the loo. Not a moment longer.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

Michael Sheen went to the same school as me, unfortunately a few years after me. Anthony Hopkins was from a different part of the same town, so went to a different school, quite a few years before me and Richard Burton came from a village just outside town.

Mary Hopkin, oh yes, those were the days.

Christian Bale was born welsh but believe brought up in London.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

There is of course William Frost from Tenby who designed and flew a powered flying machine a whole 8 years before the Wright brothers.

Re: Great things that came from Wales...
 

I've met Toms Jones... and if you chose to drink in the Ivor arms in Brynsadler often enough you might too...
