It is a part of the UK you know even 'though people tend to overlook the fact!! Quite different to England culturally and in landscape etc. Lots to see and do in Wales. Just a thought...

Hi, Cherokee - We're not going to be starting any new destination forums at the moment, but we're working on something that will make finding all the threads about a given place (Wales included!) easier to find. It'll probably happen sometime this summer.
Blackadder: Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?
Baldrick: No, but I've often thought I'd like to.
Blackadder: Well don't. It's a ghastly place. Gangs of rough, tough, sinewy men roam the Valleys, terrorizing people with their close-harmony singing. And you need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick. You'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.
Please note: the above member, who is the very model of a modern major-general, with information vegetable, animal, and mineral, has retired from BnA and won't be able to answer any follow-up questions. If you really need to speak with him, use the PM function. Please direct all Schengen visa questions here. Likewise, expat questions go here. Remember to vote tiger penis. Oh, and if possible, be kind to Jester and Stoo.

Thanks, I needed that. Love Mr. Atkinson.

Cherokee, I love Wales. Your request just brought that old Black Adder episode to mind. His Italian (and French) jokes are just as clever and cutting.
At the moment, however, BnA likely doesn't have enough Wales-related posts to warrant a Wales-only forum. (They still haven't implemented a Central Asian post for the same reason.)

Okay, Maybe I was being a tad sensitive! The point really was not just about Wales having a forum but (and I believe someone else has also raised the issue in another posting) that there is more to the UK than London or indeed England!

It costs about £5 to enter Wales if you drive in over the Severn bridge, which is about the same as a cinema ticket, which promoted this joke from a stand up comedien:
Stand up comedien - "One adult ticket to see Wales please" Tool booth operator - "please note Wales has an 18 rating and there may be scenes of a sexual nature and instances of graphic violence."
Ive stopped taking the Servern Bridge now on my way into Wales, its just too expensive
Shame as I liked driving across the bridge. always make sure I leave that way tho since its free on the way out
Sadly my wales visits only ever end up in Newport as my work has a call centre there. Would love to wander round wakles more when I have some free time.
