@Hissam Ullah hun? That's neither here nor there. My point was you don't have to be Welsh to be tired of that joke, not to say Americans are better than English or anyone for that matter. ❤ I truly mean you no offense and only want to support the Welsh in being treated respectfully. 😉
I noticed that too. Okay all you can manage to say about the Welsh is shag sheep. For two minutes, fine. But almost the entire video was English saying we shag sheep. Enough is enough! The sheep shagging thing was probably something a Mercian lord told his soldiers to outrage them so they would fight for him in hopes of stealing some Welsh land.
Laurel Rockefeller it actually comes from mid Wales where stealing sheep was a crime punishable by execution shagging sheep was perfectly legal so when welsh peasants crossed the border to steal sheep if they were caught they'd claim they were shagging them and get away with it
I feel for you, Wales. We live with the same ridiculous stereotypes in the American south. Aside from accent, we're no different than the rest of America. Wales looks beautiful I'd love to visit.
***** I tried pointing out the obvious, I tried threatening you, I tried the rational approach, I tried appealing to your humanity. Let's settle this the old way. Where do you live?
+Lazy Spark thank you!! It's just a video and there's hardly any English saying they agree with the video 😪 yet they keep insulting us. Us ourselves were just born here, so we did nothing wrong. Where I live in the North, even our accents sound Welsh. I hope not everyone from these other countries in the UK are this rude...
Partially, but also Cheshire borders North Wales, and after London it is another breeding ground for "those type of english people" that let the rest of the country down in terms of image.
I am Arab and this got me curious so I did my research and here's what I found. The English call the Welsh sheep-shaggers due to an old trick used by the Welsh against their gullible English neighbors in medieval times, when the English had a nasty habit of fucking sheep. When Wales adopted English law they noticed the penalty for shagging a sheep was less than stealing one (due to the English's habit) so whenever they were caught stealing a sheep they would instead say they were planning to fuck it instead to avoid the fine. I don't know if this is true, but it's still a funny story hahahah
Ok i really doubt it now...Urbandictionary hahah, not the best reference. Nobody in Britain has ever shagged sheep mate, it's just banter.. The welsh and the english never say such things seriously. :)
+adnan almalki yay the truth , way to go , the english got no clue they carry on spitting the same shite they been doing for years , but yes , this is right and why i say always that joke is actually on the english and their faces when told :D priceless
@@JacobTrueman Difference is England has historically oppressed and fucked over Wales as well as a multitude of other UK countries. England is also in a position of power over England, and our stereotypes come from a place of truth, mainly in the upper class.
Dydych chi'n deall dim am bobl cymraeg! Nid yw pob person Cymraeg yn byw i fyny i'r sterioteips hyn! Pa fath o berson fuasai'n meddwl ein bod ni fel pobl Cymraeg balch yn gwneud hyn? Fy mhwynt ydi dylech chi ddim barnu pobl oherwydd eu gwlad neu beth yr ydych wedi ei glywed! Mae pob person yn unigryw.
They aren’t thick? You haven’t gone to Tescos in any remote area of Wales ,have you? You would see all these chubby karens all the colour of paper with their tummies out ,gross
I hate it when people think the Union Jack 🇬🇧 represents Wales. It doesn’t even have a hint of Wales in it! *This is our flag* 🏴 *and we’re proud of it!*
Maybe a bank holiday when its a pay day??? ;) lol old joke from us Welshies that we took the piss out of some arseholes years back..still makes me giggle !
Brett Godefroi Ofcourse they did - how Un-Educated and ignorant are you, just ignoring historical facts. I said Welsh resources were instrumental in making London what it is today...actually making what most of England is today. You love to TROLL don't you.
Brett Godefroi Rolls Royce...The Harp...The "English Longbow"...Theory of Evolution....The mail order system...Lawn Tennis...London Marathon was introduced by a Welshman...The Ball Bearing...The first Fuel cell...Practically started the industrial revolution through advanced techniques with anthrecite....The whole of the NHS is Welsh....Packard switcing, improvements to Radar....but nah, you're right - The Welsh have done fck all. ...shall i continue - you ignorant fool.

We know what we are.. We know what we are... If you're Welsh fill in the rest 😂 although I must say we're not dumb.. Yes we can be idiots in a clown sense but dumb... Nawh
Doesn't wales have the worst education system in Europe innit? Aren't the welsh themselves unemployable and have no grasp of the engerlish language bruv? And isn't every single welsh human being a labour voter?
I love how the English were all going off about the Welsh and the Welsh were all like "we don't really hate the English banter lolol". Sums it up really.
Is mummy letting poor little Angharad use her computer? Oh right, Wales doesn't even have any internet access! I bet you are typing from a library somewhere here in Engerland. haha and what kind of a silly name is "Angharad?"
Uneducated? Cardiff, Swansea and Aberystwyth Universities have been regarded as some of the best universities in the UK. Currently proud to have dropped out of an English uni to return to Wales to study in Cardiff. Cymru am byth
Wheatley Core not all. I love the welsh and I’m English. Do you hate me now? I’m sorry about any negative experiences you’ve had with any of my countrymen, but they don’t represent all of us. Like I’ve had a lot of negative experiences with welsh people, but I don’t assume they’re all like that
At least england has a superb nhs and reliable nhs, a government that looks agter its own people. And a top notch education system and generally skinny healthy people. You welsh have none of those things.
You're the kind of person who votes conservatives because you have a nice house and a decent car, When really you're just an ignorant freek, who try's to hard to fit in with others, when really your a jackass who doesn't know the first thing when it comes to politics..
@@brettgodefroi9118"At least england has a superb nhs and reliable nhs, a government that looks agter its own people. And a top notch education system and generally skinny healthy people. You welsh have none of those things." Lad, wtf is that based on?
I think that the Welsh language is beautiful. According to research, all of Britain, including England, is primarily Celtic and all British people have more in common with each other than they don't have in common with each other.
@@user-zp2uo9od6l yes you are correct. I learned that they’re actually an amalgamation of the Britons and Anglo saxons. I was lead to believe that the Anglo saxons murderered the britons or relocated them to Wales or cornwall
Maaate that wasn't what do English people think? but what do Londoners think? London is like the New York of the UK it is very different outside of London. People have more time for each other, the pace is slower. Wales isn't very different to the Midlands, the North of England, East Anglia, the South West, Scotland.
While I agree with this to an extent, it's also worth noting that this doesn't represent Londoner's either. They were a lot posher than your average Londoner (and looks like it was filmed in the posher area's of London).
How about next time you come to London, go to the south, rather than the place wit posh people and tourists. Ps. why you tryna get that lady to talk about 'sheep' when she clearly don't wanna say nothing with her child present.
"Wales is awesome, I think that is universally agreed. Quite apart from anything the Welsh are charming, funny and self-depreciating, and yet still manage to have a dragon on their flag. That is ballsy beyond belief. Finnish people are equally lovely, but they wouldn't dream of having a dragon on their flag. "If the history of Wales can be summed up, it is largely that the Welsh like to be left alone to enjoy themselves, people try to invade, the Welsh fight fiercely and eventually repel them, and then go back to enjoying themselves. "The Romans tried to invade and the Welsh just sort of settled in around them, took their money and waited for them to leave. The Angles and Saxons tried to invade and got short shrift. The Normans also had a pop and, for a while, were successful, until one morning the Welsh decided to have a good stretch, fetch their weapons and drive them back over the English border. England was, of course, an astonishingly easy country to invade, and was always far less cool about the whole thing than Wales. "The idea that England in some way conquered Wales is one of the most laughable ideas in British history. Edward I 'imposed his rule' on Wales after the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. This was a rare error on the part of the Welsh. Llywelyn was also know as 'Llywelyn The Last' and you have to ask who on earth would choose a king with a name like that? It's simply asking for trouble (see also 'Ethelred The Unready', 'Catherine The Doomed' and 'Olaf The Always Distracted By His Phone'). But if England was nominally in charge of Wales then nobody told the Welsh. Henry VIII for example banned the use of the Welsh language in any official capacity in the mid-16th century. In most normal countries (say Finland) this would lead to the slow death of the language, but here we are nearly 600 years later and not only is Welsh still spoken it is thriving. Nice try Henry VIII. "Interestingly, earlier laws had banned any Welsh man from carrying arms or holding office, but also banned any English man who was married to a Welsh woman from the same. Which conveniently overlooks the fact that no man married to a Welsh woman could care less about carrying arms or holding office, because they have such an awesome wife. "So what if Wales officially became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, and part of the United Kingdom in 1801? It has carried on just the same. Through coal and steel, through non-conformist politics and non-conformist religion, through Dylan Thomas and the Manic Street Preachers, through being the straight-up nicest people you could meet, who could drink you under the table and would walk you to your taxi, the Welsh humbly don't really care who imagines they're in charge, they just carry on happily being Welsh. "Big challenges face the Wales of today, from the collapse of traditional industries to what on earth to do with the 'man-bun' that Gareth Bale seems to be persisting with, but they face the challenges as always, with humour, with a calm knowledge of their superiority and with a great big dragon smack-bang in the middle of their flag."
When they said Welsh are uneducated, I showed my teacher this video and she got MAD! And I'm Welsh and I'm not in high school yet and I did year 11 A* work, I got it right. This video offended me ALOT!
The reason that people think that the Welsh are sheep shagging is because wales used to steal sheep from England but that was illegal so when people were caught stealing them they acted as if they are shagging them.
As a south european (from Italy) i see Wales as one of the very few places i could live in north Eu. There is still some sun, people are lovely and the working classes like farmers and contstrucion workers are respected just as much as lawyers and doctors (which should be the rule but it's kinda an exception in this stupidly americanized western world). Accent means identity, not ignorance. It's complitely out of my mind how people can't get this simple concept. There are people in Sicily or Naples, Alabama or South Carolina, Wales, that speak 4 languages, have a master degree in something, living upper class... and still speaking in dialect or with a strong accent when it comes to mother language. It's something cool, not to be ashamed of.
Haha I’ve spent ages trying to decide where to move within the UK. I’ve lived north and south and know the good and bad of both. But the soulless self-importance, arrogance and contempt Londoners have for rural ‘outside’ places with devastating Celtic histories... it’s just so repulsive and insulting. And so disconnected from nature. Do those people in London seem like truly happy people? Or do they just seem prejudiced and stuck up about their socioeconomic position? I’m from Newcastle with Irish/Danish we roots, so I’m not Scottish, but I’ve never been patriotic and always resented London rule. I can see the appeal, for the economy and opportunities for success (and ultimately material gain) but for overall happiness... I highly doubt it. Wales, Ireland Scotland and the North - full of honest beauty, humility and spirit. London? Well...it has a lot of buildings and people obsessed with money. Good luck to them 😂
Love it. We'd love to show this on Cardiff TV on our regular segment showcasing great local videos from social media. Would you be happy to let us broadcast this with a credit to you?
I’d love to visit Wales...after reading the book by Tom Jones it actually reminded me in some ways of the south...the closeness of the extended family particularly..and the strict gender roles..that type thing..
@@goattm2 she probably didn't realise he was talking about the past bc cardiff is probably the most diverse city in the country when it comes to culture. I've even seen furries casually walking around in their persona outfits without getting stared at by everyone.
Yeah I'm Welsh... Me and my sheep-lover watched this video and were very offended! To raise our spirits we sang Calon Lan and Ar hyd ar nos and it still didn't work. Our last ditch attempt ,going down the mine and playing rugby, did not work. Thanks a lot England, you have upset this sheep shagger! Don't get all mad, I'm Welsh and this was so funny
I lived for a year pretty close to Cardiff, and I found out that the welsh people are generally very helpful and hospitable! The english in the video appear to be very arrogant, well you know what they say, someone that wants to appear superior to others, in reality tend to have very low selfesteem😉 Love from Barcelona, Spain⛱️
My close ancestors was from the south Wales area, and my family's accent is still very Welsh'like… strong enough that Welsh tourists keep asking me from where i am in Wales (often presuming that I'm from Cardiff). I tend to consider Welsh stereotypes as personal insults, even if not born there.
Question: Why is Wales not represented on the Union Jack?? And is the patron of England, St. George slaying the Welsh dragon? Time Wales became a sovereign nation within the European Union. And don't expect the "Wales" the Royal Family to be that concerned.
*puts on historian cap* Castles were built mostly by the Normans as fortresses of conquest. The fact there are so many tells you something about the indomitable Welsh heart. "Revenge for Gwenllian!" Cymru am Byth. and FYI, Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd (born 1097 in Aberffraw Castle, Ynys Mon; executed by Maurice de Londres in February 1136 at Chepstow castle) is NOT the same person as her descendent Gwenllian the "last princess of Wales" who was of English royal blood (via King John) as well as her Welsh blood. I recently wrote a biography of Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd and people constantly assume I mean the 13th century princess.
Or parts of Pennsylvania, like Bala Cynwyd! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bala_Cynwyd,_Pennsylvania Holy crap, though, the folks in Cardiff look like people in my hometown. I knew PA had a lot of people of Welsh heritage, but daaaaaamn! I think I'd like Cardiff.
'Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi!' - I bet that no one that just read that then that is English understood a word, Welsh are very intelligent people, we all speak to languages!!!!
Yea, but that's in high school isn't it, I'm only in my last year at primary but in the high school i'll be going to next year we are aloud to learn French and Spanish!!!
Owen Phillips, i'm Welsh to and I love sheep anytime anywhere, always,s got my yellow wellies with me, so to you English, don't knock it till you've tried it.
I personally find it quite upsetting that a lot of young Welsh people don't understand our 'hatred' for the English. Our country was taken over by the English hundreds of years ago when they killed our last King Llywelyn. It's very depressing to see many of my own friends and family unable to speak our national language, it's not 'weird' its our heritage, our history and part of our culture. Stereotypes are a bit of fun and the Welsh are the more mature as they don't take it to heart, they embrace it! Cymru am Byth!
So em you are blaming english people of today for something that happend 800 Years ago in the middle ages and that pretty much happend to every country in history with Battles basically?, im french my coutry has Been in war with england for 1000 Years most people in france could care less about the past, tour sense of "pride" your hatred is just a result of false patriotism, thats all young people dont have to suffer that bs.
Most people in both Wales and england know nothing of any substance about their history. As Colin Firth once remarked contrary to popular belief England is a very philistine nation.
You're seriously complaining that the younger generation don't hate 55 million people over the actions of a few elite individuals hundreds of years before they were born? Maybe they don't hate them because they're not spiteful boomer bigot, like you.
