How to insult the Welsh...Monmouthshire

This is tongue in cheek…I think.
Apparently I live in a crime ridden town😅.
And I have been to everywhere in the video…

I can see that Cwmbran tower block out of my upstairs window.

I thought they said The Big Pit had closed?It hasn’t and it’s well worth a visit.

Guess where I was born - the place in #1 :043:

On a more serious note, Wales was one of the largest beneficiaries of EU grants, and thanks to brexit that’s gone out the window :icon_rolleyes:

We also traditionally see more investment when Labour is in power - when the tories are in Wales always suffers :icon_evil:

And have watched rugby in all the places mentioned…

The new bus station in Cardiff ought to open this year.
No…but last time I was waiting for a bus in Brynmawr there weren’t even any shelters!

It’s only taken nearly eight years and the new improved one will have 14 bays,the old one had THIRTY FOUR.

Well,yes.
Not everything will go in there.
If I’m going somewhere in Cardiff I have to look up where the bus goes from.
Which often involves a trek across Cardiff…

Perhaps it’s the council’s cunning plan to get you to look at the shops?

Many moons ago my late wife had an elderly aunt in Cardiff. She was quite a genteel lady as I remember.
On a small table in the hall she displayed various little ornaments as an elderly genteel lady might.

Amongst her bits and pieces were some brass knuckles.
In her younger days when she was courting, her boyfriend worked on the docks… Tiger Bay I’d imagine.

Anyway, she’d go and meet him at work and went tooled up, just incase, must’ve been a tough old place.

So I gather…times change of course.
Millwall docks spring to mind
Nothing to do with Cardiff , it’s just a generic docky thing I suppose
