open up the bottle and poof it's gone..that sweet Welsh air mingled in with the inferior air you're currently putting up with 
I'll give him 10/10 for trying but that still won't help him sell a single one

I read about this on the Beeb this morning Well the Welsh mountain air is like wine to me but I don't think I'll be buying it bottled! A few trips home a year keeps me going.

I'd like some water from a Scottish peat bog to go with my single malt.

Re: Would anyone miss Wales this much?
Ah the smells of my old neighborhood in Brum;
The curry from the pakistani neighbors mingled with various pubs stinking of smoke and yesterdays stale booze on the saturated pub carpet, a dash of fumes from the double decker buses, not to mention a pinch of the local polluted canal water containing traces of heavy metals from local factories.
Ahhhhhhh

Perfect business model if you ask me. Sell Welsh air to Welsh expats.
I'm sure he'll make a fortune.
