Thought I’d throw in some Welsh postings. (No offence is intended.)
So…
A Welsh lad came home from school and told his mother he had been given a part in the school play.
'Wonderful, 'replies his mother, ‘what part is it?’
The boy says, ‘I play the part of the Welsh husband.’
The mother scowls and says, ‘Go back and tell your teacher you want a speaking part.’
A well spoken English gentleman sauntered into a pub in Llandrindod Wells and drawled, ‘What’s the quickest way to get to Brecon from here?’
Rhodri Owen, the landlord answered, ‘Are you walking or going by car?’
The Englishman answered, ‘By car, of course, my man.’
‘Well, that’s the quickest way,’ retorted the landlord smartly.
Within Wales, men from Cardiganshire (Cardis) are not renowned for their generosity, munificence or open-handedness and this is why.
A Scotsman called Angus and a Cardi called Dylan met in a Glasgow bus station, both were broke and both were thirsty.
The Scotsman had an idea for getting a free beer: ‘I know a barmaid in a pub near here who has got a very bad memory. If you get her involved in a conversation she can’t remember whether you’ve paid or not. Let me try it on first.’
Angus went into the pub, chatted to the barmaid, and duly got his free drink. Now it was the Cardi’s turn to try. Dylan sauntered up to the bar, ordered his pint and began to tell the barmaid all about life in Wales. Ten minutes later he drained his glass and said to the barmaid. ‘Well, it’s been lovely talking to you but I’ve got to be off now. What about my change?’
Morgan, a youngster, was describing in an essay his holiday in Aberystwyth, astonished and delighted his teacher by spelling the town’s name correctly every time he used it.
The next, day Miss Jones, his teacher called him to the front of the class and said, ‘Show the class how well you can spell. Write “Aberystwyth” on the blackboard.’
‘Please, Miss Jones, I can’t anymore,’ Morgan pleaded, ‘I’ve eaten all my rock.’
Two men, Cadwaladr and Dewi shared an old two-roomed farmhouse somewhere west of Llanfarian. Cadwaladr grumbled to a visitor, ‘Dewi makes life unbearable at times. He keeps sheep and goats in the bedroom and it smells terrible.’
‘Why don’t you open the window?’ came the reply.
‘What, and let all my pigeons escape?’
