UK, Ireland / What do Polish people think about Wales and Welsh people? [191]

I hate the way they have so many great bands from such a small country.
I hate the way Cerys Matthews is sexy but not that good looking, in the way Catherine Zeta Jones is.

Footnote - Tom Jones was good in "Mars Attacks ".

I know I am biased but the Highlands of Scotland take some beating.
I remember reading a discussion on these forums about who had the nicest house while from my window I was watching someone land a 12lb salmon out of the river.
