Why the hell do they write Cymru but pronounce it something like Cumry? That does not make sense!
I thought it was pronounced "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH"

I go over to England and open my mouth, they get nervous. My English cousins come over here and it’s all “why are all the police carrying guns?

Reminds me of the plastic paddies I know from up north (mostly from Boston and New York), when they found out the "Scots-Irish" equals "Ulster Scots" on one drunken
St. Patrick's Day, and that I was 25% Ulster Scot (in addition to the Welsh and English ancestry). The fact that I toasted the Queen just to piss them off probably didn't help matters any.
Americans of Irish decent take that stuff dead serious. ESPECIALLY on
St. Paddy's Day.
