So the most Welshiest day of the day is upon us again and once more it greatly ignored in the British media. The opening of the Senedd today did actually get onto the BBC lunchtime news, which actually surprised me. I thought that it was going to be omitted but then again, the Queen came down - she will take centre stage anyway.You must excuse my British xenophobia, but I suppose some of you have just got used to it by now. My blood is boiling even redder than usual as I was not treated to some intelligent graffiti on a uni library toilet break, but completely idiotic and racist commets. On the wall of the cubicle I visited (Im sorry if you begin to get an image of this moment in your mind, I wouldn't wish that upon anyone) I noticed that someone wished that the 'Welsh inbreds will fucking choke this Saturday when England destroy them', referring to the rugby game a few weeks back. Inbreds? Do people still use that one!??!
28% of all Welsh people know their anthem. It's better than I first thought, but it's still damn shocking, not to mention appalling for a nation which is apparently growing in confidence. Yet more of us are willing to give up another holiday to make March 1st a public holiday. Pretty cool, huh? Although today a good few Welsh kids had the day off anyway thanks to the eira which fell down throughout the morning!
