Say something in welsh - is a great website to learn real natural welsh (one of the true british languages) - its mainly audiotory.

Never forget....vast numbers of all ppl living on this island has ancestry that spoke languages like welsh - evidence is genetic studies......learning welsh is a very inclusive thing! :) diolch

@2tubex the british state..basically a anglo-norman elite...tried to suppress variety.............life is not worth living if there is no variety!

@PsychoAnnie please note, vast number of ppl Britain are very ignorant of the history/ancestories of the island........most ppl have majority first settler and celtic ancestry...only need to read genetic studies to see

@R0undAboutMidnight "going for it" ............its all perpective of the individual....never forget that buddy....the universe is viewed from your own perspective quasi reality

@Ruby83Soho Well lets face it, the north doesn't particularly have much going for it, apart from the mountains.

Excellent and accurate commentary. Very bleak images though - only 5 seconds of sunlight?! It has a very depressing feeling which does not portray our country well. Where's the spectacular sunsets and snowy mountains? The golden beaches or stunning countryside? I don't think filming in the grey, industrial southern towns did Wales any justice at all. If it had to be the south, what about the Gower? St. Davids? Or at least Cardiff in the sunshine! It doesn't rain ALL year, you know! :P

Kembry ha Kernow Bys Vyken !!! At the 2001 census, over 37,000 people recorded their identity as Cornish, but a Cornish tickbox has been refused for 2011. This is unjust and discriminatory. A Cornish tickbox should be included as per the Welsh and English etc. Once again officialdom in London is treating Cornish people as second-rate - Cornish will be the only British identity recognised by the ONS that will not to have its own tickbox. See youtube v=rvldovHFj68 or google - Vote Cornish !
