Default I thought it was about the Irish ?

I always thought the the welsh whom I have lots of relatives could take a joke and always have a laugh without getting offended.
I have relatives in Porthcawl,Fishguard,Dale,ST Ishmals,Haverfordwest,Milford Haven,ST Davids and Swansea,all of whom would have a laugh at these comments.
I have heard a good jokes few about the English while down in wales and always took them as a bit of fun.

Pardon me but if you check the posts I think you will find that I was not the one who bought the subject of Taffs up so why is it me you have singled out with your comments?
As for 'racist comments'if you think those are racist then you need urgent help.

all this acrimony - and only because you keep getting beat at rugby !!

I studied at swansea , and lived in lampeter , and you can only imagine the harsh time i got, when english came out of my mouth .

anyway , make up and be civil - i think no malice was intended

I am Welsh and I don’t find it racist. Just a bit of friendly banter in my opinion.

Did you know that Elvis may be part Welsh?

Did you know that a Welshman may have found the America's before Columbus?
