"Loquacious dissemblers, immoral liars, stunted, bigoted, dark, ugly, pugnacious little trolls," is what A. A. Gill (a Scot) has to say about the Welsh. I don't know about people from Wales or others whose ancestors who lived there. However, knowing myself well, I can, on a persnal basis about only me, to this description of myself.

I have a wonderful friend that grew up in Wales. 'Salt of the Earth,' to use an old phrase. And though I haven't physically seen her in nearly twenty years; she lives in SW England; she has done many favors for my children and friends when they were traveling in England. Wonderful person!

I would love to visit Wales. I have Welsh anscestors from both of my parents. Even my French forebearers came to America through Wales.
