So what have the welsh ever given us?

Friend to every estate agent - The Sons of Glyndwr (80's bombers through letterboxes protesting against the English buying holiday homes and destroying communities as they only contribute the local economy for a few weeks a year....summat like that - twas a while a go!)

Yale College in the US (Yale was a Welshie who grew up and was eventually buried in Wrexham/Wrecsam in Clywd, N.Wales). The church there was copied and formed part of the original buidlings in Yale College.

I can't remember the name of the chap (will have a search) but the chap who came up with the idea of the Channel Tunnel and the first attempt to tunnel it was Welsh

Plenty of castles!

Inspiration to many famous authors - Tolkien (Hobbit / LoTR) , C.S. Lewis (Narnia), Dylan Thomas.
