I don't like Welsh people

[snowstone]

Said to me, a Welsh person born in Wales, married to a Welsh man, with two welsh children.

By my own father?!

He and my mum are looking at moving houses, I was asking about where and he mentioned they were a looking more at a specific county further away from me. I asked if they'd consider my county as we see them quite a bit. My dad said that my county is too Welsh, and the main draw of the other county is that it's much more English and he fits in better with English people, Welsh people are a bit odd and he doesn't like them and wants to be surrounded by English people.

Told him to move to fucking England then! My mum said I overreacted but it was just quite a grim thing to say to be honest, made me look at him a bit different. They were visiting for Christmas Day and the whole atmosphere turned a bit after that and they left earlier than planned. AIBU to be pissed off?!

We have English friends who have lived in Wales for 32 years. Their son was born and grew up here. He identifies strongly as Welsh, and that’s fine by us and his parents too.

Regarding the Welsh language, Janet Street porter, who really has it in for the Welsh, wrote a sneering article in the Observer some years back claiming that there are no words for anything modern in Welsh. I wrote to the Observer taking issue with this and my letter got published. Yessssss……..

Janet Street porter, who really has it in for the Welsh

Her mother was Welsh. She appears to have loathed her mother and the whole of Wales is therefore guilty by association.

There’s Welsh people I like
there welsh people I would rather avoid
same as any other nationality

but good grief… the Welsh accent is something else!

Which welsh accent, @Ursuladevine ? The accent varies a lot.

To an ignorant londoner/SE resident I couldn’t tell you

I love the South East accent you all speak there, @Ursuladevine .

Welsh person here, currently living in England. I can confirm there are no differences between the Welsh and the English, some are twats, some are nice, like everywhere.

😂

as do I tbh

It is indeed something else...magnificent and glorious 😜

The rolling of our "r's" like the rolling hills of Brecon.

Our lilting tone, like a choir of angels singing.

I'm just kidding..it differs wherever you go 😂

Our lilting tone, like a choir of angels singing.

I love the way some people in Caernarfon put an extended 'Oooooooh' at the beginning of their sentences, before the words begin - like the lingual equivalent of a cartoon character's legs going around in a blurry circle to pick up speed before they sprint away

Oh I like the Welsh in general! Am thoroughly English though I'm afraid. I agree if he doesn't like Welsh people he should just move back to England? He sounds a bit odd. He was very rude! Especially considering you and your family is Welsh!

Here is a demonstration of some different Welsh accents

Tenby though... howling given the thread and the fight over "little England" on here.
