Bore Dda to all you lucky welsh people, didn't I always say, to be welsh is to be born with a golden daffodil in your mouth anyway ? A leafy English village is so taken with the benefits which the Welsh have including free prescriptions and free hospital car parking, and an world class rugby team, it held a referendum on becoming part of Wales.

Villagers in Audlem, nine miles from the Welsh border in Cheshire, have organised an online poll, sponsored by the local parish council, asking residents whether it is time to break away from England and join Wales, two thirds so far voted yes.

Even Mr Buckingham who writes for t'argus, (obviously an English exile struggling with his old ID), grudgingly admits, to a lump in the old throat when he comes over the Severn bridge and reads "Croeso Y Cymru" (As do we all)...

I read in a leading welsh language paper, that plans are now afoot to cement our taffiness with, by demanding the right Ireland and Scotland has, to have our own dosh. Plans are afoot to contact welsh schools and academics as to what we should put on our new Bints (Pounds), Tom Jones on the front, Shane Williams on the reverse was mine, but others want equality noted, and Shirley Bassey or Kathleen Jenkins are strong contenders too.

There have been some rumblings they want St George on the front of the fiver, lying on the floor with the dragon kebabing him (I though it was a good idea anyway), We aren't stopping there either, we want welsh postage stamps as well, also being offered nationwide (taffy-wide anyway), for 'welsh' designs, so get designing now and we could see your offering on the next 34c stamp...

Employers who mass mail are to be encouraged to print welsh words and phrases on mail so everyone can talk a bit of the old language while perusing the debit charges....

All cars to carry the 'C' plates and to drop those silly blue ones with stars on.... Our ID cards will all have the flag on, never forget you're Welsh, they aint gonna let you.
