I'm a Kiwi and as a backpacker in Australia in 1990 I worked with 2 Welsh guys picking apples. One stage I couldn't understand what they were saying to each other.

Here in New England we have candlepin bowling which is particular to this region of the U.S. I noticed some men playing a game which looks very similar to candlepin bowling in this program.
@simonengland6448 get a hold of yourself and stop talking crazy talk. vague, sentimental memory, or arizona. otherwise, english racism is still as starkly tangible as it ever was, even from far away. didn't england dump radioactive waste in wales last decade?
@simonengland6448 it's reasonable by your standards. you think i have a life. you see it works like this simon, i type the words, you ignore them, everybody ignores them. if i had a life, would i be replying to this garbage?
@Simon England doesn't seem particularly reasonable to assume someone has no knowledge about a place just because they're not _there._ Less knowledge, sure, but enough to potentially form a valid opinion.
Depending on how you interpret 'Welsh way of life', an individual's answer can be quite different. I tend to interpret it as what national institutional and cultural events that whilst they may be completely unrelated to one's way of earning money/career, do provide the framework for positions in society to be aspired to and 'be somebody'. As a Welsh speaking Welshman growing up, our annual national events included things like (but not limited to) the Urdd Eisteddfod,. the chapel Gymanfa, the Royal Welsh Show and the countless local ones, the National Eisteddfod, local Eisteddfods, Gwyl Cerdd Dant, Noson Lawen and much more. Some events have wained in their popularity and others have become more popular. I left Wales for Japan in 1991 at 22 years old and so never got the chance to participate in the 'who's who' game of 'important' Welsh people in society. Not that everyone chooses to participate of course.
It cracks me up as my mum's family is from a town in the valleys just north of the town we live in at the mouth of the same valley. Yet we joke about how rough it is, and my mum will tell us how we're all softies down here etc. The two towns are less than 8 miles apart. 😅
Welsh people have also called it soccer. Their football code is primarily Rugby Union. My father was ten years old in Ammanford at this time and he's only ever called it soccer.
Over the centuries Wales, Scotland and England have become a mixed race of each other, even the great singer Tom Jones is predominantly English, so the only things that define differences are a different historical timeline and timeline. North Walians speak different Welsh to South Walians. I've seen an official map from the 1600s with Cornwall being South Wales and Wales recorded as North Wales. Times change. I'm British despite being born in London. I have the blood of all the UK in me. If you have more than one, are you not too?!?
The Welsh of north and south Wales is essentially the same. Written Welsh is the 'standard' Welsh and that doesn't vary according to region.. The South Walians do tend to use specific words that are typically only found in southern Wales, but Wales has a vast vocabulary with different words to describe the same thing and this can vary from village and towns in the same area. E.g. 'llaeth' and 'llefrith' for milk. This is one of the things that makes the Welsh language unique and here in Japan, there are two universities that teach and study Welsh because of this apparently very unusual dense concentration of dialects in a comparatively very small area.
English in England is also one language. Despite dialectal differences between north and south. Just because you have the blood of all nations in you, doesn't mean all the nations have become one. Many people today also have the blood of nations beyond these Isles in our blood too. Does that mean all those nations should merge as one? Of course not. We should celebrate the uniqueness of all our nations. Nations are not defined by blood purity as you suggest. They are defined by a common history, traditions, language etc. The Welsh are distinct to the English and Scots. Even if we have Scottish or English blood.

You sound like you have a big chip on your shoulder and don't have a clue about Welsh history or culture. You didn't watch this video at all, you just saw the title and came in to show your anti Welsh hatred. Why did you move to North Wales in the first place? Probably because your family saw cheap houses in Clan thingy bob.
Mother was welsh, she's dead now best favour ever did for me as a lifetime of emotional abuse. Not great advertisement for welsh people. Most cannot speak their own language.
The language was persecuted and outlawed, much like native Gaelige the Irish language. Hundreds of years of English oppression will do that to a culture

Used to be so many clubs in Cardiff and a great place to go out
wonderful culture and unique people largely of Celtic origin, full of talent and a once persecuted language
Not persecuted now though

football. soccer was what americans said.

Na, the word "soccer" was commonplace in Wales until the 1980s. Traditionally, football meant rugby football.
it's been being not english for quite a while now hasn't it
Thumbs up for Welsh independence 👍

The history of the British isles is that if several waves of foreign immigration. All nationalism is temporary, transient and mythical.

Someone born in Somali simply has to stand on Welsh soil and they instantaneously become just as Welsh as anyone in this film. Apparently.
