What is Wales Famous For?

This is quite fun.

We can, apparently, claim Humphrey Bogart, Harold Lloyd, Bob Hope, Kevin Spacey, Tommy Lee Jones, Jack London, General Lee, Presidents Jefferson, Lincoln, Adams, John Quincy Adams, Monroe and Madison, Hillary Clinton, JP Morgan, Howard Hughes, William Fargo and Jesse James

For the most part, we have a lot to answer for

All I got when I was in Essex was the typical sheep jokes and people asking me to say seven

Richard Burton? Not sure how famous he is these days though. In his day he was the man though. Was surprised to learn recently that he spoke Welsh pretty fluently. 'Where Eagles Dare' is my fave performance by him: 'Broadsword calling Danny Boy, Browdsword calling Danny Boy...'

Sorry to break your hearts but the Gelert story is made up - by a Victorian landlord trying to drum up some more trade for his hotel... I was told that story by Taid and it broke my heart too.

thats almost as disappointing as finding out that the V-sign didn't come from the battle of Agincourt.

Grr it's lovely and sunny here today. Okay no it's not it's raining but I still reserve the right to be outraged
