Truley, truely funny. An absolute cast iron award winning thread. There should be an annual competition for such threads, and this would surely win an award of some kind. There's lovely, boyo.
Poor old James, a genuine mistake if you've never been to Wales, but so, so funny, and all the better as it was unintentional.

But based on what you have posted you would be too busy out of your car asking directions from Cardiff to Caerdydd..
