Just for fun, i'm half Welsh myself and most of my family live in Wales so don't mistake this as me taking the piss, I just love some of the mad saying and would like to hear more. You need to say the following with a good Welsh accent
s
t myself ave you
Follow me i'm right behind you
Threw the kids out the window some sweets
Who's that jacket hanging on the floor
Who's shoes are those trainers
See those two houses over there, mine's the one in the middle
Left my bike outside the shop, came back and there it was, gone
Please, if you have any more post them up, cheers

A ditty my Grandad taught me as a nipper from Wrexham
Taffy was a welshman
Taffy was a thief
Taffy came round our house last night
And stole a leg of beef.
Also an English translation of Rhonnda cyon taff
Land of the taffy theiving bastid
I can say these without remorse as i am Welsh and no offence or racism intended

I married (and ran a pub with) a Welsh lass. My pedantry radar used to go ballistic when carrying a box/crate/barrel I would ask "Where do you want this?"
"By there."
"By there? I can't put it by there, because by there doesn't exist. I can put it there or there, but not by there."
And then she'd ring me up and ask "Where are you to?"
"Where am I to what?"
"By there."
"By there? I can't put it by there, because by there doesn't exist. I can put it there or there, but not by there."
And then she'd ring me up and ask "Where are you to?"
"Where am I to what?"

I believe that was a form of racism in its day. It was used to paint us in a bad light. Taffy not to be trusted and all that.Taffy was a welshman

Not having a pop, just the way it was. Like the removing our naming such as "ap" and replacing with Jones and Thomas etc around the 15th century. Cannot have them english having issues with the language. I understand judges were particularly miffed as they were wound up with the linage with several "Ap" in the name.
