Has something changed? <br /><br />I know the Windsor family were called Saxe-Coburg<br />and they changed to Windsor in 1916, and I know that Prince Philip of Greece prior to his wedding to the present queen was also a Saxe-Coburg (perhaps a Gotha) but I wonder why they are now changing from Windsor to Wales. Come to think of it, I even saw a photo of Prince Harry (was it in Afghanistan?) with WALES on his army fatigues. <br /><br />What have we Welsh done to have this honour heaped upon us? Clearly I'm not up to speed on all this. Is the Cadwallader dragon to now appear on the union flag do you know? That would be the next logical step.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-82252518201892862242011-04-18T16:31:24.416+02:002011-04-18T16:31:24.416+02:00It also seems to me Gwilym, that truth and politic...It also seems to me Gwilym, that truth and politics should never be seen to occur in the same sentence, regardless of the party, the country or the occasion.

I imagine the Bavarian pigs have enjoyed a happy increase in numbers due to lack of predation.<br /><br />Cod were nearly fished out, I remember sardines being much smaller in the tin - their current largeness I attribute in my head to some attempt to address overfishing too. As long as the fish are still fecund, it might be exactly what the oceans need to have their contents rendered inedible to us for a duration to allow fish stocks to increase.<br /><br />writing this I snort a little imagining mankind, finding the sea no longer a useful resource, seeing no good reason not to use it as a dumping ground for toxic waste of course...thegedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928822887730833434noreply@blogger.com
