We may not have everything but it’s very clear we have one of the greatest flags.

Tagged as humor because I think it fits best out of the tags.

Toddler-friendly walks in South Wales

My family is lucky enough to visit South Wales for a week or so this June. Do folks have any suggestions about a good home base with access to beautiful walks that are appropriate for a toddler? We'll have a carrier, but also thinking about places where we can relax a bit and let her run around, without worrying too much about cliffs, etc. If makes sense. :)

Transport for wales, Cardiff central station

I wanna start by saying I'm aware this is not how it's supposed to work and aware of the potential fines.

I used to be able activate a multiflex ticket in the morning only have it scanned on the train, get off at grange town station and walk to Cardiff central, then when leaving Cardiff later in the day and use the same ticket from that morning to scan through the gates. Again I know this isn't how multiflex tickets are suppose to work.

But now this doesn't work anymore? The only change I've made is I catch an early 5am train and get of at Cardiff central but the gates are already open this early so no need to scan my ticket, but when I leave in the afternoon my multipleflex ticket doesn't work meaning I need to activate another one.

Any one knows why this is happening all of a sudden

20 mph speed limit. What is everyone's HONEST opinions now the topic has had time to cool down?

I remember at the time I tried to have debates on here and the overwhelming majority of people (on this particular sub) were in favour of the change.

Full disclosure, I was not in favour.

I'd like to know has the mood shifted now we've all had a proper taste of the change?

And one final question to those who are still in favour for it, if you think 20 is a good change, why do you go over it by 1 or 2 mph when it suits you? (If you are the type of person that sticks 100% to the limit and have never gone over even once since the change, you are the absolute minority and I commend you for sticking to your beliefs, but this question isn't for you, I want to hear from people who think 20 is good, but they are allowed to flirt with the law if it suits them).

I hardly see anyone sticking to it anymore, but when they do, they are doing between 21 and 25, I'm yet to encounter anyone doing 20 or below on clear roads. And I drive a lot.

Let's keep it civil and respectable please, everyone is allowed to have a different opinion to each other.

Attitudes towards the Welsh language in the past

This is going to sound like a Askhistorians question. In the early 1960s Saunders Lewis made a speech on the fate of the Welsh language where he showed concern about the decline of the language which lead to the formation of Welsh Language Society which campaigned for equal status for Welsh. Prior to Saunders' speech and the campaigns of the Welsh Language Society, were there concerns about the decline of the language and campaigns to obtain equal status for the Welsh language or was there an attitude even amongst Welsh speakers the language was an outdated relic and English was the language of progress.

Help me pass English class

Hi, I'm an ordinary Estonian boy who has to do a project about Wales and make Wales seem super cool to everyone in the class. I know nothing about Wales.

Could you please help by sending me some Welsh memes, tv shows, commercials and other things that every Welsh person knows so I could put them all together and maybe do a parody show on Wales

Proper way to pronounce Port Talbot

I work for a reasonably large news organisation in London, but originally I'm from Swansea.

I have always pronounced it Por-Tal-Butt and recently complained it frustrates me that everyone in England, especially my colleagues who are currently reporting on the steel works, pronounce it Port-Tawl-Butt.

Everyone I know in Swansea has always pronounced it Por-Tal-Butt, I even called my parents who still live in Swansea on how to pronounce it. But my colleagues have returned with footage of folks from the town pronouncing it Port-Tawl-Butt.

Is it a Swansea thing or have my parents raised me wrong??

Full Time Education Financial Help

So, for context, I am 26 years old and renting a property with my partner. I'm looking at going full time in college, doing a level 2 IT course, whilst also working some evenings, so was wondering if I can get financial help? I'm looking online but I'm only really seeing finance for university but not college. Does anyone know if I can get financial help for college? Thanks
