Welsh not British
I took the above photo before Wales' game against Slovakia in Cardiff. In the background you can see a banner with WelshNotBritish.com on it which is one of Cymuned's websites. The organisation uses occasions like internationals to highlight their campaigns. Here's Cymuned's Flickr group which has a lot of striking photo's!
Strangley enough, Eric posted a stori on his blog under the heading Welsh not British this week, which tells a story and gives his view of the way that the BBC Sport treat 'us all' (everyone in Britain that is) as English, and explains how this leads to a certain disliking (to put it mildly) by the Welsh (and Scottish, and Irish and .....) towards English national teams. It would do this 'Welsh' woman no harm to have a read.
