Wales

Up until 1536, none- then Henry VIII signed the Act of Union which effectively abolished Wales as a seperate country and made it a part of England.

Wales then did not officially exist until Edwardian times, when it was disestablished. However, the County of Monmouthshire, on the South-East border, remained classified as a part of England until 1974, when boundary changes incorporated it into Wales.

Surprisingly, there was no violence or cross-border trouble over this, as most of Monmouthshire's inhabitants had always regarded themselves as Welsh and agreed with the decision. However, if the decision were to be reversed today, there most definitely WOULD be trouble!!

Wales is a constituent country of the UK, so Wales can be classed as abroad from any country except the UK.

Maud of Wales died on 1938-11-20.

By no means! Welsh weather is usually wet and with a temporate climate- if it's not raining, it's usually damp, and can be misty in the mornings. Wales gets colder earlier in the Autumn than England, and is slower to warm up again in the Spring.

Welsh Winters are harsh by any standards- it gets very cold, most especially in the North, where temperatures can drop to as low as -15 degrees Centigrade and lower, and there is usually snow in the mountains (sometimes with very heavy drifts). Nobody should venture onto the Welsh mountains in Winter unless they have to- it's very dangerous.

The warmest parts of the UK are the Channel Islands, and the extreme South-West counties of England- namely Devon and Cornwall. Cornwall and the Scilly Isles especially enjoy mild weather all year round, as it is in the Gulf Stream that sweeps in from the mid-Atlantic.

New Zealand is an island country around 1200 miles from its nearest neighbour so doesn't share any borders.

No, I'm Welsh and I do not bum sheep. It's just a racist comment from the English.

The local colliery run by the National Coal Board had instructed that all waste from the pit was to be tipped on land above the village. Under just one of the tips was a natural spring that led to the River Taff. On 21-Oct 1966. Despite warnings people responsible did not stop tipping and did not undertake a risk assessment. At 09;15 the shale and waste became a slurry and 1 million cubic feet of this slurry ran down the mountain engulfing the local school and 18 houses.

bont (or pont) is welsh for bridge

An accent means when a person has a residual effect on his or her new language from the old one. It happens because the customary rules and sounds of the old language effect the proper pronunciation of the new. A dialect is when a language is affected within itself. This occurs because of the regional differences in a given country. for example, American English of the South, versus American English of Boston. The dialect is fostered by the ones who teach it and pass it on, usually the parents and other relatives and elders.

They are properly just called South Walians, although the popular (and somewhat derogatory) term for them is 'Gogs'.

Cader Idris is in mid Wales approximately 10 miles south east of Harlech.

Welsh

I understand 'plas mawr' to mean big hall or big mansion, in other words a big house. I only twigged onto this when I heard that 'ty mawr' was the Welsh for big house which is very close to the Irish for big house 'tigh mór'. Depending on the dialect of Irish spoken you might pronounce 'tigh' the same as 'ty' and 'mawr' is not far from the pronunciation of 'mór'.

It is in between but I believe it is closer to southern.

In Wales there are plenty of places to go, depending on what sort of visit or holiday you're planning. There are some amazing beaches and watersports activities at Anglesey, many historical places and castles, including Cardiff, and there's beautiful mountains and lanscaping in Snowdonia.
