Danny I must pull you to task on a few of your postings:
Firstly I believe that the bridge was constructed by a British consortium but then both bridges were sold by our ever caring government to a French company. The initial idea was to construct a barrage across the Severn with tidal turbines to produce energy and a road over. Initially the cost was far greater but the results would have been green energy for south Wales and the west of England. The so called "friends of the Earth" objected to this on the fact that we would loose the Severn bore, sewage from Gloucester would polute the water and there would be a loss of wild life from Slimbridge. So what - is a tidal wave twice a year more important than green energy - Gloucester built its own sewage treatment works as the second bridge was about to be constructed - nature would correct it self at Slimbridge. The barrage would have replaced a coal fired power station at Aberthaw and a neuclear power station at Hinkley Point. Admittedly there would have been a loss of employment at the two power stations and the remaining deep pit at Hirwaun in south Wales. Again in this day and age should a man have to go burrowing underground for fuel.
Secondly the advert for men working underground to excavate noodles for Pot Noodles is an insult to the good name of any coal miner whatever part of the country he is from. In the days of the deep mines, men worked very hard in appalling conditions to get the coal and many suffered with their health in doing so (including my late father-in-law). That advert should be pulled as it is making a mockery of these hard working miners. The Welsh as a nation can take a joke even when it is about them selves but I think this is going too far.
Danny I must ask you one question - are you by any chance related to or connected with Lord B. in any way as you both appear to be anti Welsh? - you wait our day will come and then you lot east of Offa's **** had better look out. Come the revolution man we will be there. We will band up with our Irish and Scottish cousins and overthrow the Anglo Saxons.
Colin me old Welsh mate,
I am in no way related to Lord B or connected, I would not know him if he/she came up and poked me in the eye.
As for being anti Welsh, well, not really, I just don't like being in shops on your fair land and the local's start talking in Welsh. How rude is that.
As for having a pop at your local industry, mining, no bad taste was intended, or was it intended as an insult.
If I have offended you please accept my appologies.......
It just seems lately on this forum I have entered into some topics of debate and have suffered a right roasting for airing my veiws, none only than from Lord B.
Well what more can I say it was only a bit of light hearted banter, on a plus side Bristol Rovers have just beaten Bristol City, so you never know our paths might cross when we invade Cardiff for the final !
Ta for now..........
