I have Welsh ancestors and they definately were coal miners in the northeastern part of PA. There was plenty of coal mining in the old country too.
Wales ain’t England. Maybe not as hot and bothered as the Scots or the Irish but the Welsh are a pretty tough lot. Certainly not as refined as English.
Another ironic thing is that it was gangster Meyer Lansky who cleaned up casino gambling. Until he came around, it was normal for casino operators to make their money by cheating the customers. Then Lansky realized that the house ultimately wins WITHOUT cheating and strictly enforced that his casinos dispense with cheating the customers. Actually the mob treated the casino customers BETTER than modern day corporate casinos. Like CHEAP casino buffets and top entertainment for very little cost to customers.
Nowadays, the corporate casino bean counters look to squeeze every cent including what I read today about a Las Vegas casino planning to CHARGE for parking space.
BRING BACK THE MOB!!!
