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.

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.

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

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

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