Next.Right, cant verify this for certain but as the late great Rich Burton used to say to Stan Baker, 'never let the truth spoil a good story'I personally believe theres got to be something in it, it was told to me by an old Welsh Canadian in The Harp in Bangor in the late 80sJust after the massacre at the Little Big Horn when Custer and his valiant (if imperialistic and misguided) 7th Cav boys got to get the good news off Sitting Bulls Warriors, the tribes knew the wrath of the States would come down on them so they hightailed it North across the border to the lands of the 'great white mother' where us Brits had a slightly different approach with natives (ask any well educated Indian, more British than the Brits, even today!)The district commissioner for Alberta was a bit pushed for manning and only a little Welsh mountie was available to go and lay the law down to these fearsome warriors.So off he goes, and rides on his own to where Sitting Bull was campedHe sees all the scalp poles etc and all the Native Americans look at him in wonder. Now remember, these guys had just recently wiped out a complete regiment of crack US cavalrymen.He asks politely to see Sitting Bull.The speech went something like this: 'Now look here you naughty Red Indian fellows, we've heard all about your shenanigans across the border and you'll have to face the music I guess but for now you can stay here under the protection of Victoria our great white mother across the never ending lake BUT YOU MUST BEHAVE YOURSELVES, do you understand?'Sitting Bull has all this interpreted to him and just nodds speechless.The little Taff says 'Good', turns his horse around and rides home.How terribly British.

LOLOL...that one will be hard to beat. need some time to think.

Any bizzare Welsh theme stories? stick them on here. I got the full sky sports package but since I met Ceri and Gabbi Im vastly entertained on this site and hardly watch tv. Duw I must be getting old eh, or maybe I need to get out more!!My mate Tom Lewis from Penmachno, Geography teacher (dont hold that against him!) and super tennis player, anyway he gets the Oxfordancestors dna package done see, just cos I got it done and Im pure pure Celt, he wants to get that result too.Anyways, it turns out that Longshanks employed a battalion of Navarrese/Gascon mountain shock troops in an attempt to ethnically cleanse the Snowdonia area, whenever his reign was, I forget. Well, we were well ahead of our time and wrote the book for the Mujahadeen and Vietcong, so this attempt became a bit entrenched, they managed to supress but didnt clear the pockets of resistance altogether. These Gascons started dwindling after a few years, ensnared no doubt by willing Welsh ladies starved of male companionship, settled the valleys of the North and kind of dissapeared into the 'celt stew'Tom comes over totally down with his results indicating his male lineage traces to Basque and Gascon.He says to me 'my ancestors were trying to butcher yours all those years ago, Im so so ashamed'I says 'Duw, dont worry Tom, we are still here'And he says 'Exactly, thats what Im pissed off with, my ancestors couldnt even get that f****** right!!!!!!'HAHAHA
