Where I lived in the North West we couldnt pick up Granada - watched "Y Dydd" for years -couldnt speak welsh - did like Elinor's "good evening" though !
The protestors were idiots who did not know they were carrying water for the USSR. We did not know of the Westminster Abbey in the People's Republic I had the misfortune to be born in, but we knew of the Greenham Common Airbase as the government commissioned songs about it under socialism. Trators.
My Welsh parents emigrated to Australia in 1951 with my two siblings after living in the greater London area for some years. I was born after. We children thank our parents for this wonderful life in Australia. We all had a good education, professional careers and bought our houses and land and live in states across Oz and have grandchildren, all leading enjoyable lives. I've visited Wales and wish to do so again but I could never live there. Australia is just too good !
This is my grandparents. My mother is Paula an my daughter Amber commented. My grandparents are no longer with us. Grandad died 1988 at the age of 78, my Nan passed away 2018 at the age of 99, my Uncle David's where abouts back in the late 70's is unknown and my Aunty Linda passed away 2012 aged 60. All the other siblings are alive. After Nans death we still have 4 living genetations. The living families reside in New South Wales and Queensland Australia. Happy to connect with others that may know or knew and are potentially related.

Never said Goodbye ... then after 53 years on my sister told me why .... Sorry MOM.... still here on the Gold Coast .. 55years now with two Aussie son n daughter living in London ....so much water under the Bridge....
Beautiful welsh farm. Unfortunately looks a bit different today since it’s been abandoned and now in a state of disrepair. Sad as it’s also a Heritage listed site
no one can tell from the film Y Sŵn whether a guy who threatened a hunger strike and never had to go through with it, could have. It's not something that anyone should say in advance they could do: and thankfully so, as it's always a horrible idea. Hunger quality s an overpowering biological drive
was this Welsh language news show broadcast all over Wales or just on the HTV transmitters serving large welsh speaking populations mainly in the North and west?. What would English speakers get as their news show on HTV Wales?.
Nothing much has changed really, parts of the Nedd Fechan valley didn't get electricity until 2005. During the Miner's strikes in the 80's UNESCO said child poverty in South Wales was the worst in Europe and with around 70% of housing unfit for human habitation also the lowest standard of living. Cymru Rydd.
This takes me back to when I was a kid in Swansea. I was 12/13. Margaret Thatcher tried to stop the formation of a Welsh language channel. Continuing the bigotry of her fellow English countrymen. Henry VIII outlawed the Welsh language in law. It was not repealed until 1942. To think my father fought for these cu*ts on D day. One thing you can guarantee about the English is that they wear their ignorance with pride.
Philip is great! I have a copy of his "The Pocket Book of Modern Cookery" pub 1951 - it's my cooking "Bible" Great upload, lots of great memories and excellent quality!
