Now the Prince of Wales pont.

I think they should invent some name longer that llanfaiwotsitcalled up north. That will give the TV announcers some fun.

I had no idea the Prince of Wales was a ponce. Every day's a school day.

Welsh was never my strong point. should it post or bont then bridge name?

Either way, may name the half that is in England something then name the half in Wales something else?

Cairns is the one (of many probably) that screwed us out of money for the flat in Cardiff when he lived in the Vale.

Petition is getting a few signatures. 13,000 or so short of the target. Wonder how many are professionally offended types.

Edit. Think he has a picture of the old bridge in the petition.
