So, I ran across this on FB: I'm not sure what the source of the stereotypes is, but I suspect it's somebody from the group around London...an arrogant wanker. Anyway....I'd be curious as to why it is that southern Wales is a space-time rift and they burn their holiday homes. I'm intrigued.

The space time thing is a Doctor Who reference

Burning holiday homes is something that Welsh nationalists (or some such people) actually did.
Nervous sheep ... there's no evidence.
Fake tan in Essex is a stereotype very well supported by reality.

In Oz we don't have anywhere to go for cheap booze unfortunately. Though wine is cheap in the bottleshops, but all other booze are expensive and cigarettes are astronomical in price.

When we want cheap booze, we go to the States. But we have to drink it there since we can only bring 2 bottles over the border.

I must admit, the whole 'Welsh = sheepshaggers' thing is a bit tired. But I'd rather live here than where I used to live - 'UKIP voters'
