Wales

In the beginning, the Lord God Almighty turned to his best mate, the Archangel Gabriel, and said; “Gabby, today I’m going to create a beautiful part of Earth, and I will call it Wales. I will make a country of breathtaking blue lakes, rich green forests and dark beautiful mountains, which from time to time will be snow covered. I will give it clear, swift rivers, which will overflow with Salmon and Trout. The land shall be lush and fertile, on which the people can raise cattle and grow their food as well as being rich with precious metals and stones that will be sought after the world over. Underneath the land I shall lay rich seams of coal for the inhabitants to mine. Around the coast I will make some of the most beautiful areas in the world, white sandy beaches and cliffs that will attract all manner of wildlife, and lots of islands that will be like paradise to all who visit them. In the waters around the shores there will be an abundance of sea life. The people who live there will be called the Welsh and will be the friendliest people on Earth.” “Excuse me Sire,” interrupted the Archangel Gabriel, “don’t you think you are being a bit too generous to these Welsh?” “Don’t talk crap”, replied the Lord, “wait till you see the bloody neighbours I’m giving them!”
