Bristol CarPort

Never has there been a better time for the Metropolises of Cardiff, Bristol and Newport to join together. A Western Powerhouse. Yes of course, Wales is a Principality, not a Nation, they have just re-named the Millennium Stadium to that effect. The irony being, that the planned move is opposed by a very Welsh sounding gentleman by the name of Elfan ap Rees. Did the deputy leader of North Somerset Council take a wrong turning off the M4? Sitting on the No 8 bus last week in Westgate Street, Cardiff, we were parked for a good ten minutes opposite the old Jackson's nightclub which is now the W.R.U Shop or Siop W.R.U to give it the non metropolis title. It was pissing down! Roedd yn bwrw hen wragedd a ffin. An employee came out brandishing a brand new black umbrella with the Prince of Wales feathers dotted around whatever they call the segments of umbrella and I thought to myself, "This is not Wales" and by this I meant Westgate Street. With the Anglicised Western Mail round the corner and the PRINCIPALITY STADIUM, I thought, we need people with an Owain Glyndwr or a Tywysog Llywellyn umbrella to come jousting down. The apathy of the Capital regarding its role as the 'Chief-City' is limited to the Rugby.  

Yesterday I saw the Cymdeithas yr Iaith Minibus with 'Miliwn o Siaradwyr Cymraeg' on the side make its way through Aberystwyth ready for the Rali tomorrow in Caerdydd. Pob lwc i bawb fydd yna. Dwi'n aros yn Aberystwyth oherwydd fy mod i yn casau Rygbi a'r diwylliant Eingl Cymraeg sydd yn dod yn ei sgil. Cymru v Alban yr un dydd ond dwi'n dallt yn iawn pam fod y rali wedi cael ei threfnu ar y diwrnod hyn.  It appears that I am in Aber when I should be in Cardiff and in Cardiff when I should be in Aber. If Cardiff becomes 'Bristol CarPort' then I might just have to leave Grangetown for good.
