'The Story of Wales' (The Industrial Revolution)

I put down my laptop and sat comfortably to watch 'The story of Wales'. As the programme progressed I thought it was a better planned & better balanced programme than the previous, I got a sentimental shiver when Merthyr was mentioned; I thought I knew every centimetre of the castle having been through every door, or so I thought, but I've never seen that safe. All the time spent on the Crawshays I felt that they could have spent a few seconds on the engineering feat that was the Glamorganshire Canal before jumping to Pontcysyllte and back, but perhaps that's nitpicking. I was so comfortable that I got out a bottle of the local brew left over from last saturday's international; I enjoyed the programme so much that I looked in my forever unused drinks cabinet (little compartment of my cupboard) and found a last measure of home distilled Orujo given to me a long time ago by my Cantabrian friends, I drank the one and only measure to finish the bottle and the programme. PS I don't think we know that all of Iolo Morgannwg's works were forgeries, therefore we can't say for definite that nothing of them reflected anything that actually happened or existed. At first we accept them, then we rubbish them, before bit by bit certain truths come to light.
