I have never heard of a Welsh "community" around here - do they live underground or something?

Lotsa Irish and some Scots, but Welsh?

I think that there is one who goes to our local.

By now they probably aren't a community as such and have sensibly assimilated into being English but given that the church was probably built/taken over many years ago then it does sort of make sense.

IMHO far too many of these wonderful old buildings have been allowed to vanish. They are part of our heritage and whether you are religious or of the "you won't catch me worshipping sky pixies" brigade, these buildings and those that built them are our history and are what once made this country great. My recommendation would be that you simply enjoy the history and architecture that goes with it and remember that it was built by people as an expression of their faith with money raised from their own pockets over a great many years. Governments do not build such places, neither do rate payers. The old congregation will have purchased the land, all the materials and done the work with no help from anyone and often in the face of opposition from the "established" church.

I agree. Just because I don't believe doesn't mean that I don't appreciate them.

Last year they put the prices up before the budget increase and then probably wondered why a lot of customers relocated to a Wetherspoons pub.

8p price rise is not going stop drinking in my pub. Those of us that choose to continue drinking there do so for a reason - the young scummers go to the Wetherspoon pub.

I do miss the poorer pensioners, though - lovely older men with great stories and goodness instilled, who are now choosing to walk a 1/2 mile up the road, for a 99p pint and a £2.67 full breakfast at the Wetherspoon and they all leave before the scummers arrive. Cant't blame 'em...
