Used to live in Chepstow for 25 years until 7 years ago. Now living in Lake District.
Went back there couple of years ago. What struck me was the strength of the Welsh accent there. When I was living there I never noticed it and always thought Chepstow was more English than Welsh.
What the Welsh hate most is that they are the true English, chased from England by the Normans into Wales back in the 1100's. That's always a good one to mention on a Friday night in the Queens :-()
@CountryHouseGent - No mate - read your history again, the Welsh are the true British, lived in Britain long before the immigrants that became the english arrived.
@fiscalfreak Hi. Thought that was what I said, though I should have said British not English, though I always say I'm English as Britain or The UK technically no longer exists.
@ld309 yeah the fool forgets welsh was spoken in herefordshire and worcestershire by welsh monoglots up until 1500 with welsh speaking communties within english border up until 1900s.....check it out :)
@cchallenger3985 its was annexed into england during 1536 as it was a particular catholic and rebellious place........the king wanted it under direct control of London....this is why you;re attempt to make monmouth english have failed......look at the fucking place names they are welsh originally...........old welsh was spoken in place now called england before english....comprehende?
@cchallenger3985 nope. never has been. the river is the border between england and wales. and monmouthshire is on the welsh side. s'why chepstow is mon and tutshill, just a few hundred yards away over the water is Glos.
It's only the roads that have changed, I'm very glad they haven't changed the buildings.
There isn't really a problem with crime, only anti-socialism. But I'm pretty sure that's common in many towns with two comprehensives within a mile of eachother.
Pretty good vid. I used to live in chepstow its slightly weird to imagine it like that. From what i know now its got problems with crime but hasnt everywhere.
@HYBRID669 i live in chepstow atm and have all my life and never heard that it had crime problems.. but there is one seriously chavy part. but yeah everywhere has, hasnt it?
What's that car doing at the end??? It's only one way up there ;)
