5:13 I wonder if that's a pint of "Scull Attack" he's drinking. Brains being Wales' most famous brewery.

EEK :F

[lunabranwen]

many in south Wales also speak Welsh, and many are still learning. this is an interesting video. Cymru am byth. 

[ludocrat]

@lunabranwen

Quite right. For many in Carmarthenshire (never conquered either by Roman or Norman, interestingly) Welsh remains the mother tongue.

This video is didactic and tells you how to feel with acting and persuasion, even though it seems to give two angles of the same 'information' which is just admitted by the careers and biographies of these distinguished gentlemen to be commentary. It's very clever to play two wrong versions off each other. Williams wrote for the Freemasons.

diolch am bostio. WELSH LESSONS ON MY CHANNEL IF ANYONES INTERESTED

[Stunr99]

my dad is a thomas. im tryn to trace lineage. im american

[jeannegirl1]

@Stunr99 My father is a "Williams" and his mother was "Jones"(...pffft, wish me luck! haha.) would love to trace my family lineage. Ive only been able to go as far back as my great great grandfather the Williams side, born in Wales, in the 1880-90's he came to the U.S. died 1922 in Tucson. (i found his death certificate online) and thats it. Did the welsh even keep records of people way back then? If they did, who's the person in wales to call to find them for us.

[Stunr99]

@jeannegirl1 Im nearly clueless. But I do know that a lot of the Thomas' came from Breconshire, Wales. I'm trying to figure out if they were Norman invaders (prob most likely) or the native people of the area. Just keep googling..ha

Simplethevest... this is the first in a long series of programmes on Welsh History. It is an introduction. Every introduction, whether it be book, essay, film or audio provides a general overview to set up the discussion points. This video merely provides the basis for their debate, and highlights their differing personalities and opinions. It is not designed to be extremely detailed yet, but other episodes are.

[SimplyTheVest2]

this series is rubbish, theres no historical data, its just two old guys debating about whether Welsh history is a series of ruptures or not

[primalformm9]

there are loads of data - you obviously paid no attention or couldn't understand it - you should change your name to 'SimpleTheVest'

[SimplyTheVest2]

yeah SimpleTheVest doesn't make any sense, you look kinda silly calling people simple when you can't even speak properly lol

[SimplyTheVest2]

you might want to learn to speak English before you try being clever lol

[stanzemanek]

Last time I went to the UK, I only visited London and Edinburgh... Wish I went to Cardiff now. :(

[MIKOLBZ]

The Welsh are Celts......were still Celts, so how am I a Roman Bastard? & after the plague wiped out half of our nation were mostly mixed anyway, but the red in my beard is, was & always be Celtic! Cymru am Byth!

[schipfan360]

@MIKOLBZ I thought the welsh were anglo or brittons and the were pushed into modern day wales by the saxons and aren't the celts irish and there is also the picks who are scotts I belive

[ItaloGallese]

@MIKOLBZ Well......it may be true that you are MOSTLY/MAINLY Celtic. But there is not a single genetic line. Its primarily cultural. Many of the eastern section came from England. Many from the valleys have English blood. I consider myself Welsh-Italian...my grandfathers are Glyndwr Hughes & Martinelli!.
