He probably had to branch out, being the only one in the village.

DAMMIT!!!!! Wish I had that link two weeks ago when we were in New England to visit the Wife's friends and family...

Oh, and we're in North Wales, although planning a move Stateside in the next 18 months or so.

We told the inlaws on this trip and they were over the moon. Guess that means we've got to do it now!

Hi Tim & Rae,

Hope everything works out well in getting visa sorted out and feel comfortable in the location you shall live.

I am in Caerphilly South wales, and plan to move to Texas within 18 months to marry my Fiance' my fear is the house prices are going to drop and keeping an eye on the forecast of Pound V Dollar i predicted it would drop due to government spending cuts.

Once i looked at the forecast chart today they predicted it will drop down to £1.00 = $1.23 this is not guarnteed maybe a little higher even lower.
I am mad i never made a move 2 years ago when house prices were higher in UK and pound V Dollar was $1.96.

If i sold my house and changed my currency today i will loose $150000 compared to 2 years ago.
I looked into selling the house and if i move to Texas can i keep my bank account open while in USA i was told yes by LLOYDS TSB & BACLAYS
i may sell the property and leave the Finance in a UK bank account until pound picks back up against the dollar then change it!

Good Luck!

I used to live in Mill Road Lisvane for ten years (1956-1966) before Cardiff reached it! I'm not Welsh though but Wales is the earliest life I remember!

Funny, I edited it to Cefn Onn but it was in fact Cefn On when I lived there and was changed in the 60s. Now closed.
well lisvane/cyncoed today is the beverly hills of cardiff south wales now...very snotty...well the residents think they are anyways..

OK, so I can forgive blank faces, but last weekend I got my first "but Wales in is England, right?". Always calm in the face of adversity (), I explained no, it was next door. "Oh, so you don't have to pay the Queen taxes then?" We were both doing high intensity exercise at the time, so it's lucky I didn't suffocate with laughter at the time, but hopefully she will now remember that England & Wales are both in the UK, and we both pay taxes to the government. Bless her.

One of my closest friends while at uni was a lad from Sir Fon - aka Anglesey, in North Wales - paradoxically a lad with a Scottish name (Andrew) but thoroughly Welsh and a fluent Welsh speaker, like many of his neighbours in the village where he lives with the magnificent but virtually unpronounceable name of Llanerchymedd.

I have visited him at his home several times and enjoy the drive down there from Edinburgh and I always find it interesting driving over the border into Wales from England and see all the road signs becoming bilingual and all the place names turning from Anglo Saxon into Celtic Welsh. Even the "Slow" signs painted on the roads are bilingual and one of the first Welsh words I ever learned was "Araf" - which is the Welsh equivalent of the English "Slow".

It was interesting to note that once over the border into Wales the English word takes precedence of the Welsh, but the further you drive into the more Welsh speaking parts of Wales "Araf" takes precedence over "Slow".

I think you really do have more of a feeling of being in a "foreign" country when you drive out of England and into Wales than you do when driving back home to Scotland from England....no bilingual signs and no "funny looking" place names.
