    Only good thing about Wales is the golf courses. I've played St David's....

    Out of interest, how many Welsh / part Welsh do we have on here?

    Generally seem to find a lot in UK of Irish/ Scottish decent, always seems a lot less with Welsh

    Anyway, Happy David’s Day to you all

    My wife is half-Welsh. My son is allowed to wear his Beavers uniform into school today because it's St David's Day. Strangely, nothing whatsoever happens on St George's Day.

    Back in the day I have been to the top of Pen y Fan, walked the whole Pembrokeshire coastal path, been to Snowdonia and in my opinion Wales is stunningly beautiful and typical of the natural beauty on this fringe of Europe in these islands.
    When the Welsh fans sing before the Rugby it is an unsurpassed sound in sport.
    Great place.

    Really @Rizzo ?

    I've sons in two schools and links with another school, and all three are all over SGD every day.

    Anyway, let’s not make this a SGD thread, we can have one of those soon enough.

    (One of those schools are all wearing yellow today for SDD)

    I am Welsh and Latvian on my father's side! My grandma was taken from LLangollen to Riga, Latvia, as a child when her mother married an ex-Latvian prisoner of war stationed in Wales after WW1. Beautiful part of the country and still have family in N. Wales today.
    So in Latvian, 'Priecigu Sveta Davida dienu' or 'Happy St David's Day'!

    My wife is Welsh and after spending the first 35 years of our married life in SE London and Kent we moved to Wales a year ago. It has made boycotting the Valley a lot easier!

    Wife born in Carmarthen and a huge rugby fan. Me born in Greenwich and brought up on football ( well Charlton). She will occasionally come to a game at The Valley or an away game and I will go with her to watch a Six Nations game in Cardiff.

    No Welsh in my family history at all. Spanish, English, Scottish, Irish and even 1/256th Danish - but no taff. Love the Welsh in general though - and listening to the Welsh singing Land of My Fathers at Cardiff Arms Park in 1993 having foolishly travelled there with mates and, in hindsight, probably lucky to escape being beaten to a pulp, was one of the most spine tingling experiences of my life.

    Wife is Welsh,  moved here 3 years ago and it's a much better quality of life. Wouldn't move back but jobs are a lot harder to come by. Still spend half my time in London!

    With Lewis as my middle and Williams as my surname, not sure I could claim to hail from anywhere else.

    My dad’s side of the family owned a dairy farm in Aberystwyth and moved to London after a murder in the family.

    They owned the land that the council compulsorily purchased to make Victoria Park.
