History

We were corralled, the gate was shut and we were branded 'them not us' by the Germanics, 'us not them'  by ourselves. The 7th c. kings of Gwynedd had more to do with Northumbria than they did with Glamorgan & Gwent, but they squeezed us behind Offa's Dyke and we got on with it. Paradoxically at the same time Henry VIII gave us an administrative border he took it away our identity. We are a nation because we had a common mode of communication, a different language from our oppressors, common to Phil Bennett, Barry John & Gareth Edwards, that way we could out manoeuvre the English by flummoxing them, without that we could have finished up as Cumbria II.
