There's something wrong with that phrase. I'm fairly sure that when Edward I of England persuaded the Welsh that full union would be a good idea one of the terms and conditions was that the Welsh could not be badass, except while pretending to be "British". Longbowmen at Agincourt, Crecy and Poitiers are remembered for beating the French, not for having been most likely Welsh.
One of my Best friends is Welsh. Another of them is Scottish. And I have another good friend who is Irish. I myself am English (And according to my family tree have been for at least 500 years). If we ever went to the pub together I think the latent humour would cause the universe to implode or something. So far we've not caused any major structural damage to the fabric of reality though so that's ok. But it just goes to show that cross border co-operation in the UK can work, despite the claims of french national rugby team coach Marc Lievrement. And long may we continue to do so.
That was an odd blog. Sorry :-/
