From time to time on various groups we often get on the subject of things
british(english,irish,scottish & welsh(very little)) with little cohesion
and postings to several different news groups.I propose a "net.mad.dogs"
group for all such postings . I think the volume would support such a group
it would be at least as active as net.rec.skydive or net.rec.scuba etc.
What say you folks
Please no questions about the groups name - (if you have to ask the price
then you can't afford it)
- to paraphrase car salesmen
As a followup to the "Union Jack"'s composition I understand that
Wales was only united as one country for only short periods of time and
was mostly small individual kingdoms(much like Italy in medieval times).
The flag (Red dragon on green background) was the official standard of
Cadwaladr/Caedwalla ruler of a united Wales & England in the 7th centuary
(d664).Other rulers of a united welsh nation were
Rhodri the Great C 860-877 approx 20 years
Hywel Dda (Howell the Good) C 930-950 approx 20 years
Llywelyn 1267-1282 15 years
Owain Glyndwr(Owen Glendower) C1400-1416 approx 15 years
