thumbs up from me too.nice place It used to be a right shit hole, but has done very nicely in recent years because we've paid for it. Since the late 70's extra funds have been directed out to Wales, NI and Chillyjockoland according to the Barnett formula. Its calculated that for each individual in the countries of Britain, the spend which is beneficial goes like this.... England £7,121 Scotland £8,623 Wales £8,139 In other words your average sheepshagger gets a grand more than you for things such as urban redevlopment...health, education etc. |

And we still have to pay to go into the country - do the English or the Welsh get that Reg ?
On balance I'd choose to pay to leave Wales rather than enter it.

On balance I'd choose to pay to leave Wales rather than enter it. Think it goes towards the costs of the extra paint needed for dual language road signs. Not sure which pot the dual language road signs for Poles is coming from. |
