Why does everyone pick on Wales? |
Hey,
I'm from Australia and I love all things Welsh, however Iv'e noticed that all the other countries in the UK seem to belittle Wales,why is it so?
They have the coolest accents, torchwood and a great language.
Is everyone else jealous or something? |

What a load of b*****ks.
I love Wales and the Welsh.
Place names can be a problem but that's another story. |

Being a kiwi i sympathisie with the ENDLESS sheep jokes ( despite me trying to get across that Australia actually has more sheep than NZ!)...
I loved Wales and found it so different in feel to england. My friend and I were heading away to both wales and brighton on our holidays and everyone raved about brighton and said...oh wales. I did not like brighton at all. I found it tacky and the beach was crap. On the other hand we both loved Wales..even tho it rained a bit. Its just the age old hassle the little guy thing... |

I live in northern ireland. We don't pick on Wales or the Welsh. I'm sure that the only people that pick on Wales are the English. But they pick on everybody. |

Where the Isla meets the Tay.

Well,to be honest,it was the Welsh and their longbows who cut down Wallace's army at the Battle of Falkirk in 1297.
Along with the Irish,they were fighting on the side of the English.
They probably regret it now. |

That actually doesn't happen very often, I work with some Welsh lads and they are an absolute scream. It's those nationalist types who are forever wailing about English people who are the problem in the United kingdom. My mother is from Wales and I don't have a problem with the place names |

you might as well ask why the Australians make fun of the New Zealanders, or why they have so many Polish jokes in America ... in England we don't poke fun at the Welsh half as much as we poke fun at the Irish |

The thing is many english people complain if you say anything bad about england even if they have just said something about Wales which is their stereotypical view and they have never even been there. |

Its just the English that do that. Its because we hate anyone who is from a different country...and anyone who is from a different part of England...and our next door neighbours...and ourselves. |

Everybody picks on everybody, it's mostly just a bit of fun.
and i can assure you the majority aren't jealous... |

Yep, they're definitely jealous- when the English, Scottish and N. Irish come to Wales they can't understand what the hell we're talking about when we speak in Welsh. :P |
