Wolford6 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) There's now a Welsh school in Trevethin. The kids probably still won't pass many exams but they'll almost certainly end up speaking better Welsh than English.

Bearman Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I had read once that manufacturers collude with the oil companies in order to get a mix of sides to prevent everyone using the same side in petrol stations.

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 At the time of my writing this, the photography thread has had 3,440 replies. 3440 is the number of one of the iconic steam engines of the Great Western Railway, City of Truro. New in 1903, it allegedly reached a speed of 100mph on a scheduled journey the following year. This is questioned by some, but if true, would make it the first railway, steam locomotive to reach this milestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
