What I don't understand is how blind so many people are to the low level anti-Welsh racism that is really really prevalent all through the English culture. The Welsh have it far worse than the Irish or Scots because we are seen to have no redeeming features - no humour like the Irish, no canny engineering/economic prudence like the Scots. We just sing "far too loud, far too often, and flat."
And every time you pick someone up on it, your objections are taken as proof that their prejudice is a rightful opinion.
