Well in recent times culturally I suppose, Dylan Thomas, Gruff Rhys, Super Furry Animals, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, 9bach, Griff Rhys Jones,
Peter Baynham, Rob Brydon, Terry Jones, Shirley Bassey, Ryhs Ifans, Anthony Hopkins and Irvine Welsh to name but a few.
Also it was a Welshman (David Edward Hughes) who invented the microphone.
Then there's Glamorgan sausages, leek and potato soup, faggots, Welsh rarebit and Welshcakes.
You can keep Rhod Gilbert though Wales, you dick!

Cornwall along with Wales were the places the English fled to when the Romans and later the French invaded.
The Welsh and Cornish languages are more English than modern English, which is now largely made up of the Romance languages as opposed to what would have been Germanic/Celtic in structure, pre invasion.

Eh?
(Excuse me if I've missed the point here).
The English hadn't even been invented when the Romans were here. In any meaningful sense, the English (define them as you will), didn't come along until about the 10th century.
As for your remarks on the languages, well...
...and don't get me started on Dylan Bastard Thomas! Talentless verbose piss-head...

I'm glad somebody got it, it is a tad old now.
I remember the Not the Nine O'clock News advert in their book which went along the lines of..
"Come home to a real fire,
Buy a cottage in Wales"
I wonder if there could be a resurgence in this kind of thing, what with house prices and all that?

Well, it wasn't the Welsh that actually did that.
The Free Wales Army was composed almost entirely of undercover policemen and secret policemen. All spying and informing on each other. In the name of democracy and keeping the public safe of course.
And the plain fact is that most of the "arson attacks" were simply insurance fraud.
