Ho ho ho! :-) Well, they certainly share the same views, don't they. What
your colleague's posting seems to articulates is the classic view that the
Welsh are constantly misidentified by outsiders - my point is that they seem
to do that well enough on their own. I still want to know why the Welsh
don't value their own best writers. Isn't Sheenagh Pugh on the list -
perhaps she can tell us. Or perhaps your colleague could join in again -
I've no problem with that.
cheers
