Half way twixt him and me, almost exactly.

The Welsh do not actually call it Wales btw ~ Cymru actually means "The People's Land"

England in Welsh is Lloegr which means "Lost Lands"

The English call it Wales because Wallesc means "Foreigner" in Old English (Basically Saxon)

The Welsh or Cymraeg ("The People") believe that one day they will recover the "Lost Lands"


Hopefully this helps you understand them a little better (if you ever wanted to that is)
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
