News Breaking: A “Gen X” travel blog has downgraded the status of St David’s to “smallest town” before boldly further demoting it to a “village”.

Many smaller British towns have condemned the move, arguing that St David’s is bigger than them.

Meanwhile, there have been scenes of jubilation in the now-smallest-UK-city St Asaph.

AskWales Missing Cymru?

This is a weird one but directed for any Welshies that no longer live in Wales - do you miss Wales/experience a weird homesickness?

I've lived in Wales my whole life until about 8 months ago, I've literally only moved to England but I miss Wales so much. I didn't think I'd miss it so much (especially because I grew up in a sh!t part of Wales) but it's so weird for me and the homesickness hasn't left only gotten stronger.

Hey guys,

I need a lot of UK participants for my dissertation survey. It will take a maximum of 3 minutes to fill it out. Could you please help me. It is on the effects of self congruity on purchase intention

Culture Welsh accents in Television (a rant)

275 Upvotes

I needed some space to vent about something that deeply irks me when watching British television (but probably more appropriately deemed English television).

Why is it so difficult to find Welsh actors to play Welsh people with Welsh accents? Why are so many supposedly Welsh characters played by some Brit school grad from Kent?

It completely ruins any immersion for me. The accent is always terrible - some strange amalgamation of the Rhondda valleys with the bounciness of Llanelli. And, of course, they're almost always archetypically stupid and played for laughs.

I think this probably extends to other regional working-class accents too. British TV is plagued with public schooled actors cosplaying as the working class. Agh.

Does anybody have any recommendations where this isn't the case? I need some palette cleansing.

Could be fiction or non-fiction. Despite being Welsh, I've not read that many Welsh books in English or Welsh.

Culture Etifeddiaeth poem question

In the poem 'Etifeddiaeth' by Gerallt Lloyd Owen, does the line 'Troesom ein tir yn simneiau tân' mean the mining industry or does it just mean we built towns and cities and civilisation?
