Def welsh as I celebrated the glorious day in Cardiff , with many a pint of Brains and handing out tissues to our cousins across the bridge , who came in their shiny 4x4,s with glory on their minds only to be stuck behind tractors with a fiery creature on a flag! God bless the welsh team who slayed George mmm should have been the other way round !! signed DAI from the valleys you know.
