I originate from Cheshire and have not experienced the problem but I have heard tales about the Police (Heddlu) in Wales being less than helpful and sometimes downright nasty with people from some parts of England (especially the south-east of England) including making up motoring offences.

I am from the south east of England and have never had any issues vis-a-vis motoring offences from the Welsh filth. Similarly free parties. Though a mate was nicked for weed whilst mushie picking on Lord Hereford’s Nob and had to schlep to Brecon by public transport from Croydon for a 10am fining.


Thanks for bringing this to the thread Dawn Crescendo

Well, that's a helluva solid case you've presented there. You omitted to mention the South East English who are arrested by Gog plod and never seen again, having been 'invited' to participate in one of the ever-popular local wicker man burning fetes.

Once when I went up my brother's local near Caernarfon they switched from Welsh to English so we could play in the pub quiz. Sneaky bastards.

Once a friend went to see the heddlu and woke up in an ice bath with a fresh scar where his kidneys are.

Anyway cheshire is the worst county in the world, this is absolutely nailed on true, just awful people

Never refer to Cypriot coffee as just like Turkish coffee .
They also make Cypriot delight.

In my extensive experience of Welsh pubs , this is VERY rare, the switching to Welsh thing. Swansea's not relevant because such a minority of Jacks can or choose to speak Welsh anyway.

Never encountered this in Carmarthen though, or even up Ystragynlais way, where a lot of Welsh is spoken.

I can definitely believe it about Pwllheli, mind -- I'm drank in Gogland too (mainly longer ago), and it was only in a pub just outside Caernarfon that this switching to Welsh thing ever happened to me and mates. We responded "Bore Da" though!

Bangor, Dolgellau, Machynlleth? Never encountered it, and I've been into a good few pubs in all three ...

I never encountered it in three years of living in North Wales. I always found the Welsh people really friendly. There were some signs in fields around Bangor about burning down homes of English people but I think that was all down to some nutter.

Some old people in our village hadn't been to school (farm lads) and only spoke welsh because they didn't know any english. We learned how to say the basics so we could still acknowledge and smile at each other.

What is the connection between this and the case?

What is the connection between this and the case?

The suggestion is that the Cypriot judiciary has avoided prosecuting the Israelis to ensure the deal goes ahead. It's a bit of a stretch given that Israel is a massive beneficiary of the project.

There was a podcast about the case that had some info- it was today in focus I think? The bbc one. Some of the kids are well connected and did the airport chanting (and have been attacked in the Israeli press for it, it’s worth saying) others went straight home, just ‘ordinary’ and their families are trying to stay low profile

"The Brit is a whore".

One of them is the son of the mayor of Jerusalem.

I thought so myself, but he wasn't the first to mention it -- I posted because like PT and others, I actually know about pubs in Wales (unsurprisingly )

I saw that video today...it turned my stomach. It reminded me of the horrible arrogance and general all around cuntiness I experienced from groups of young Israeli men when I was travelling in Asia some years back.

When I was travelling I was warned about Russians and Israelis immediately out of military service and letting off steam. The warning was well Bournemouth out over the course of a year or so.

(I was also warned about British men when they had been drinking (people would assume I was German or Scandi) and they weren’t wrong about that either)
