The six o clock news contained those very words uttered by the Fuckwit For Tourism who said a consultant spoke them in one of the meetings they held to find why tourism in wales is so bad
That they held a meeting and brought in consultants is the problem
It is impossible to get to a welsh tourist spot now without enduring thirty minutes of average speed cameras set not to deter excess speed but to bore you to death in the interests of saving wales from a climate emergency - caused by the Chinese
The councils are having to sack cottage burner party councillors at regular intervals for the crime of making it clear they hate the english
And the mockery the First Fuckwit made of the pub trade at tbe end of COVID by allowing the pubs to open, but only to sell lemonade, expkains everything
And two North Wales councils are on record as saying they need to deter tourists as they encourage a low wage low skill economy. Those same councils banned two tech development startups and some years ago told me my high tech business proposal was an unwelcome incursion of the english language into the Lleyn Peninsula - so the guy funding it took it to Croatia
With the welsh fuckwits in the bay so anti english is it really any wonder for every tourist spending what disposable income they have left of their money in wales, FORTY spent theirs in England.
And the wanker is about to lower the fucking speed limit to 20 too - a move even the police say they have no intention of enforcing.

Wales has many of the world's finest castles, beautiful mountains and some lovely beaches just to name 3 attractions. If the tourism minister is unaware of all the reasons tourists visit Wales then I think it's time for his P45 to arrive in the post. If I were Welsh like JoG I'd be offended too.

I spent four days in Broadhaven last month, absolute heaven, the idea is to drive from the bridge to Haverfordwest with the windows up and without stopping. The motorway services are the worst, inhabited by people from a Hammer Horror film cast mainly.
Once on the coast all is well, pints of Brains, chips and sea air. What is immediately evident is that no one is sat hunched over a smart phone or fiddling with a tablet, it is 1950s which is what I like. The only thing stopping me moving there next week is Mark Drakeford, I could live without the NHS, with incomprehensible road markings and foreign language on the telly, don't mind any of that, but I couldn't live in a Drakeford regime that makes North Korea look attractive.
Look forward to our next trip there.

When we had a caravan in Pendine i had to go to the beach and climb the hill to get a signal |

I replid in a thread started by wapentake that i too had trudged round graveyards and the like driven by the demands of a relative with a thing about our family tree On my fathers side we came from the North, hit York (thank you Mr BBC who analysed my DNA) and later did Alfred the Great a favour, popped across and had a word at swordpoint with his troublesome neighbours to the south. They ran away leaving us Normandy, Burgundy and a selection of their womenfolk A few centuries later their great great … grandson Henry De Veysey (?) came over with William of Normandy or William the Bastard as the English locals are reputed to have called him. After the fighting died down Henry apparently got handed a bit of Northamptonshire as a thank you. The bit Barclaycard build their HQ on in the 70s No i have no proof. My brother might have some, he ‘inherited’ the paperwork great Uncle David amassed and also shares the family tree mania. But following that DNA research i volunteered to have my mitochondrial DNA looked at. My mother is a descendant straight down the matriarchal line from the welsh marcher princes (well warlords actually) so i expected tales of raven haired wild wooly celts. Which largely is the case But there is also a fair chunk of blonde blue eyed aryan Someone in my history certainly has something to answer for |

I'm embracing it and am building a longboat for a raid on Lindisfarne. |

And the wanker is about to lower the fucking speed limit to 20 too - a move even the police say they have no intention of enforcing. Our council is a bit different in our town. When they have a council meeting the only one who has his wits about him is the police. You always get a police rep giving it the official, this is how we can and can't do what we want to do. So in essence the bigwig of the council is the police. That sounds really bad of course, if it were not for the fact the Police in turn get tutored on how to behave by the folk at Wells Cathedral. My brother and I and his Chinese spy wife all went over to see the folk at Wells Cathedral on his last visit. They have their own Kew Gardens there. It's bloody amazing the care and time they put into developing these beautiful gardens. They charge the tourists £8, but on the gate was a lovely lady who was collecting the cash and saw us lot and let us all in for free as they were shutting in 1/2hr. Not only that but they were really interested in talking to us and telling us about it. I have to say it does leave you with a very good impression. Of course this arrangement must have all started around 1380!

Modern Egypt isn't responsible for the pyramids but they still attract tourists from all over the world. BVL, what "fantastic achievements" can "modern day" welsh lay claim to ?
The last fantastic achievement in wales were those accomplished in Blaenavon Iron Works in the late 1800's.
The main thing wales has as a tourist asset is its landscape, but just as the landscape of scotland other than the mountains themselves owe some part of that to the way the land has been exploited by man in the past, so the features that make welsh lowlands and highlands (such as they are) the tourist magnet they are is the way the land has been managed, farmed and exploited in the past. That plus the animals they farm here, welsh black cattle for example become a roast beef dinner you would not believe.
The nutters who would see farming exterminated as a threat to the planet, will in time exterminate the reason people come.
