Let's keep the Polonia UK & Ireland zone balanced.

Just to start off, I like Wales.
I don't hate the Welsh.
I don't really like Tom Jones though.

I hate the way they have so many great bands from such a small country.
I hate the way Cerys Matthews is sexy but not that good looking, in the way Catherine Zeta Jones is.

Footnote - Tom Jones was good in "Mars Attacks ".

I have to say I wasn't expecting a flood of Polish people saying the Welsh have all been really nasty to them and that the English in comparison, are really nice.

They love it really.

Ask about extra large Wellington boots,
ribbons in the sheep's fleeces,
or practical uses of a steep cliff.

As an Aussie I hate them because at the recent Rugby World Cup they lost to us and fooled us into believing we had a half decent team.....

As a Kiwi, I have a great affinity with the Welsh... both nationalities get mocked for the sheep population, plus they are one rugby team we are guaranteed to beat :-)

some people just dont get the donkey's sense of humour.
I dont like the weather there, it rains a lot... and I went to a beautiful campsite where the owners were so rude it was truly unbelievable.. they clearly hated English people, yet they were running a tourist business.. lots of people went there every year just because of the location, but said that the family who ran the site were always horrible to English people. They wont be getting my money again.

That must be a polish thing, the welsh accent is nearly as bad as the Birmingham accent and probably on par with a Bristol accent...

Try Irish - they love words like that. They love the Welsh for some reason. I personally do not hate the Welsh and I do not like them. I don't have an opinion about the Welsh.

Hopefully you live in Bridgend and you'll make the news like some of your compatriots have done recently.
