Jax. Yes :-D Let you work that out. Born Colwyn Bay, registered Wolverhampton. Remember an early thread along same lines whether someone was from Cheshire or Lancashire because birth was registered in another county.

My father could not get a good job in Colwyn Bay and had a reserved occupation as a Building Society Clerk in Wolverhampton Freeholders in Queen Square, Wolverhampton. He lived with his parents during week in Broad Lane, Wton and came up on train each weekend apparently.

My mother's father was dying and my nain was widowed shortly before I was born. Eventually dad bought a small semi in a place called Penn and we (mum, nain and me) moved from Colwyn Bay when I was one years old. .

Hope that answers your query. Not sure that I should have had to explain all that though. You obviously have been doing some digging for some reason.

John you irritated me from day one when I invited you onto the Welsh Thread and you declined saying it was banale, so don't don't come the precious ' I am proud and privileged ' bit now of being 'Welsh' :-|

I welcomed you and you threw it in my face.
I wouldn't have cared what Natiionality you were ,I and others have welcomed many to the thread and it is a very friendly thread .

Had I know you had such strong views on Welsh Rule , I wouldn't have bothered, idiotic idea !
Glad you didn't accept the invite.
You don't have the same views as the other British posters on that thread.
We are friends and harmonize.

Yes, conveniently ignore the figures.........

How would Wales cope without their bit of pocket money?

Despite this windfall some Welsh councils manage to spend less on schools than any other part of the UK

So you were born in Colwyn Bay but your birth was registered in Wolverhampton? surprised you mother didn't register your birth in Colwyn to enshrine her Welsh progeny. If I have that right?

Yes it's a C&P but Adam changes political views...like you lol

Adam Price (born 23 September 1968, Carmarthen) is a politician in Wales, and former Plaid Cymru Member of Parliament for Carmarthen East and Dinefwr. He was elected to Parliament in the 2001 general election and re-elected in 2005 but stood down at the 2010 election. He belongs to Plaid's left-wing and has said of himself "I was a socialist before I was a nationalist

Sue. If Adam Price has authored that paper, you will not need to do any research. All the figures will be accurately at your fingertips. He is a very bright boy. ;-)

Do you think GR are going to be happy that a Member is spouting their Political views to the point of saturation? I can't see you converting anyone with your methods...more likely to run to the hills.

*slaps MrDaff, you bloody did it!*

and for my next trick.....a thread about Independence, I need to gather my mental faculties and RESEARCH ONS results, trawl fiscal reports, published proposals raised during AGMs for multinational who have bases in Wales. Plus use the search facility at Companies House. Read CADW's proposed funding and for what? Check how much Objective One funding has been thrown away.

I can't just chuck guesses in you know :-P

Who wants Independence?

When the TaxPayers' Alliance last examined the figures in 'Unequal Shares: they found that identifiable public spending per head in England is £7,535 pa (2007-08).

But in Scotland it is 22 per cent (£1,644) higher, in Wales 14 per cent (£1,042) higher, and in Northern Ireland an extraordinary 30 per cent (£2,254) higher. That makes England the poor relation in the United Kingdom and means that English taxpayers' money is being used to finance a better quality of living for those in the other home nations.

Since then, it's been rising.

And, personally, I don't like it

:-P :-P

I want independence from the rest of the UK!!!!!!

Fortunately no true Welshman has ever suggested before in my life I do not think and breathe like a Welshman. So those sort of insults leave me totally unmoved.

I was born in Colwyn Bay. My mother was born and bred in that area and gave me my love of all things Welsh. My wife is very Welsh indeed - but accepts that I am more of a nationalist. Most of my friends from Bangor were involved in pushing forward Wales - and they have succeeded far more than ever I have.

I lived in Wolverhampton from one to 14. My dad was a soldier in WW2 from Wton. I am very proud of my links to Wton. But, whenever I have had a chance to live in Wales, I have taken it. And have lived 35 years of my life in Wales now. I have written a short book in Welsh. I have been interviewd on Welsh TV. I have always put my nationality down proudly as Welsh.

I have nothing against being English. Just that it has never been my identity - and never will be. And all this talk of half this or half that, or you do not understand makes no sense to me at all.

I would not dream of asking you why you think you are Welsh. You are proud that you are - I am proud that you are also. And I am very proud and privileged that I am.

Well they need to go somewhere, I suspect the RSPCA will gather them up but there's a herd runs wild on the hills & the stallion won't be impressed-they're stallions :(
I think they should go home-they could be trained to pull a political chariot! lol

There is none so boring as a reformed smoker, an alcoholic or a converted believer in any God and a feverent Nationalist of any country.

Sounds like an old fashioned record stuck in the groove. They all reckon if they shout long enough that those who are out of step will submit.

Tecwyn - simply, diolch.

BK spreading 'lies' ?!!!! John, I want a pair of the glasses you have - the rose-tinted ones with blinkers. Where DID you get them from? Dr Lewis, perhaps ???

Wales as an Independent country ? That's a topic for a new thread, not this one (Sue ????). But your love for Peter Pan is wearing a bit thin in all matters Welsh. You cannot compare yourself to us, you cannot think like us. Being Welsh is not just a physical or political attribute, it's a mental one.

And if your not Welsh, you simply don't have it.(with apologies to the 'nearly integrated' population out there ! Mwaahhh!) <3
