How many stamps does it take o send a letter from Wales to Scotland?

The simple answer is one. However, the more complicated answer is that this will be dependant on the weight and size of the letter. Since the changes in Post Office pricing, envelopes are measured using a grid at the post office counter. If the letter falls completely withing the red zone (this is slightly larger than a standard DL letter), then you can send the letter via ordinary First of Second Class post. If, however, the letter falls outwith the red zone, ther cost of postage is increased. The size of the increase is then guaged on how much bigger or outside the letter is. If all this isn't confusing enough, if the depth of the letter is bigger than a slot in the same measuring grid, ther is an additional premiun. Once you've done all that, you then could be asked to weigh the envelope, resulting in yet a different total postage cost. The rule of thumb is: keep the envelope within standard sizes and don't make the letter too bulky!. I haven't put inthe prices for 1st and 2nd class postage as I'm aware that these are going to change soon. You can check out the most recent guidance and prices at the royal mail website -www.royalmail.com

What is the population of Swansea?

The city of Swansea has a population of approximately 230,000. If we consider the Swansea Bay conurbation - i.e. the local government units of Swansea plus Neath Port Talbot - then, by the 2007 figures issued by the Welsh Assembly, we have a population of 365,500. Swansea 228,100 and Neath Port Talbot 137,400. Subtracting the population of the rural Gower peninsula leaves a contiguous urban-industrial area with a population of over 350,000. If we wished to talk of 'Greater Swansea' then the population of Llanelli - 2006 est. 47,206 - could be added. For Swansea on its western side runs up to the river Llwchwr while Llanelli begins on the other side of that river. There is, therefore, a contiguous urban strip, centred on Swansea city centre, from the west side of Llanelli to the eastern edge of Port Talbot. This 'Greater Swansea' has a population - not including Gower - approaching 400,000 people.

When did rugby become popular in wales?

The game was very well supported from the 1900's as it was played not be the well to do but in majority by mining villages across the south of the country

The war saw the game become little used as many of the men were away fighting. However, in the late 1950's the game again became popular as the mines began to lose their Bevan Boys and have them replaced by the men home from the war. The 1950's also saw National Service. Many of the young men called up for service were encouraged to play sports and for many of the Welsh it was Rugby or Soccer.

In the late 1960s the game started to be seen more on television especially internationals so more began to visit the then amateur grounds and clubs like working men's clubs sprang up. This opened more opportunities for potential plays as schools brought the game on board as part of the physical education curriculum.

In the 1970s the world of welsh rugby exploded as the international team seemed to be invincible winning 97% of their games and even the world renown All Blacks feared the men in the red shirts. It was in the 70's that a young entertainer called Max Boyce toured many of the Vallies clubs signing songs of the success of welsh rugby and and the down turn in the mining communities. From this era songs such as Hymns and Arias and 9-3 became a vital part of any rugby after match social.
