National Anthem
-
Only the first verse and chorus: Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi, Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri; Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd, Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed. Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad. Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau, O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

I thought it was something like this[^] :-D
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

:sigh: And you can add a lot more to that list since then. And probably the few remaining companies will disappear soon - not that there are a lot left these days. The only ones moving in are Amazon (Swansea) and Tesco (everywhere larger than 100 inhabitants)

Chris (may his dual nationality be our guiding light) said in the newsletter that "Being from Australia I can only look in wonder at countries where the majority know more than the first two lines of their national anthem." I'm surprised at the thought. being an ex-pom I certainly know the first two lines, and more (see below) So - off the top of your head, without googling it, can you quote your own national anthem? Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong. Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee. And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me", And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred. Down came the troopers, one, two, three. "Whose[N 1] that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" "Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong. "You'll never catch me alive", said he. And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me" And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."

pom as in ... ? ( Besides being a wrong spelled fruit, pom is the short term for pompom girl = chearleader in French, and I assumed you were male, so ...)

Na, thats 100-250 people, Tesco Direct are those vans that stop without warning and block the street, usually driven extremly slowly blocking traffic or at high speed to ensure the goods are delivered in the correct state ie battered and bruised
