Oh, a humourous copycat thread.



Anyway - to address the question posed:


The fundamental difference is the geographical origin of the two peoples.


However, in certain contexts, this difference is irrelevant. For example, if we are examining a person's entitlement to a British passport, then whether they are Welsh or English is of no significance whatsoever. To the best of my knowledge.

I understand perfectly well that it is Honourable,reasonable,fair and humane not to have any Prejudice.This is 100% correct ...but couldn't we just make a very small exception for The Welsh please.... ;) After all we used to quite dislike them in the days before Racism was bad:))

Considering their impact on London and the activities they engage in there is no difference and it is therefore not necessary to differentiated between them in any way.


So if the question of a Welsh person?s nationality comes up in a work or social situation it is perfectly acceptable to refer to them as English and be indifferent if they take offence. The same applies vice versa of course.

'ello boyo, yakky dah and all that. My, very good, Welsh friends tell me they are actually English, as when the barbarians invaded (Vikings etc) they pushed the original engish westwards. So the Welsh are the true 'natives' of the British Isles and the rest of you are johnny come lately's. www.museumwales.ac.uk/ if you're down there go, it's brilliant.

Well technically the Germanic cultures pushed out the predominantly Celtic cultures of the British Isles but the Celtic influence was a previous import from Europe as well.


There are also similarities between pre Celtic British burial sights and those of a similar age in Europe suggesting that at least 1 more cultural colonisation had taken place prior to the Celts

Spot on Brendan, though even more technically the 'Celtic' cultures weren't even that Celtic, that being a misnomer heaped on them by a (ironically welsh) chap who actually thought the Celts were Central European Germanics, which they weren't.


Not to say there was no celtic influence, which there was, it was just much much less so than the stock misunderstanding, as given us by EDOldie, would have us think.


And yes ratty the Celts did wander up the Atlantic coast from Spain/southern France.


Right Brendan, remind me to give you that book when next we meet.

    • I pass here almost every day and have never seen the local business struggle to load. There's plenty of space as things are.    Seems to me this is just the meddling council being ****heads yet again. These are their reasons: "BAWDALE ROAD Goose Green add a total of 35m new 'DYLs' on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road) to protect access for large vehicles coming to collect from and deliver goods to the nearby businesses"   Consultation here: https://consultation.appyway.com/southwark/order/1c3a8926-8f51-47e1-8460-2727fec6d895  
    • The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is on Weds.11th June 2025 5pm at Christ Church Batty Road. Open to all Dulwich Hill Ward residents and businesses. It is realised that 5 pm is not suitable for everyone, but even when held at 7 pm. some people complained that it was children's bath/bed times and wanted it earlier/later. When later times were proposed, there were still complaints- not able to get babysitters/did not want to go out/return home in the dark!. Times are always not going to be convenient for some people. These meetings are held quarterly and are very informal. They give everyone a chance to meet the local team and exchange views/concerns relating to crime/anti social behaviour etc.
