Thanks for the link. Blwydden Newydd Dda! Cyru am Bydd! It's a wonderful country. Too bad that it is so steeped in socialism that I could never consider living there. I'm thankful that my great grandfather had to foresight to escape the wicked English landlords and mine owners. My family made a living making shoes, tending sheep, butchering sheep, selling wool and mining lead. My great great grandmother urged my great grandfather to "avoid the evil shoe business". He followed her recommendation and made a fine living in the US as a metallurgist assisting the railroads and mining businesses.

Wales has the hightest concentration of type 'O' blood than anywhere else in the world.

And just so that you don't get to (ahem) uppity about your English heritage....my dad's mother was related to this guy.
