24 things you should never say to a Welsh person

1. 'I thought Wales was a city in England'

2 'Welsh is a dying language'

3. Your 'amazing' Welsh accent

4. Especially if you are using the phrase 'I am from 'Way-aals'

5. 'Go on, say something in Welsh'

6. Or even worse 'what's that really long place name?'

7. Don't suggest we don't have electricity, the internet, running water or Nandos

8. And please don't ask if our fathers are miners or farmers (though TBF a lot of them are)

13. Don't ask 'Why do you hate the English?' We don't, it's complicated and you risk getting a long history lesson

14. Don't say any version of this: 'Oh you're from Wales, my friend's mother's cousin is from Wales, do you know her?'

15. Don't tell us how to pronounce Primark or Adidas. We know.

16. Don't say 'You were only good at football because of Gareth Bale'

17. If you want to avoid a long conversation don't ask what 'hiraeth' means

18. 'Oh what's occurring?' is not the best way to greet us

19. And don't ask us 'whose coat is that jacket hanging up on the floor?'

20. No Welsh person has ever shagged a sheep (to our knowledge)

21. Don't bring up this TV show

22. Oh, which reminds us, 'the Valleys' is a VERY SPECIFIC AREA, it isn't the whole of Wales

23. Don't ask us 'Why don't you just get the train?'

24. Or why we love being Welsh so much - the list is endless
