Giles; that's cruel.
A Welsh friend of mine came up with the following.
A Welshman finds a discarded England shirt in a polythene bag outside Twickenham. . ."What a waste! That bag's worth 5p"
It is cruel Simon; but then it's a cruel world.
Maybe you should ask your Welsh friend if he knows why Welsh lasses prefer English lovers.
(Answer; Because they can stay on top for 70 minutes and still come second)
