Family FeudsPooster tells us that a relative was once sent to the shops to buy an onion, while the rest of the family went on a daytrip while he was gone. Meanwhile, whole sections of our extended kin still haven't got over a wedding brawl fifteen years ago – tell us about families at war.

*click*I live near Bridgend and am also English- family moved here when I was 16, so I know exactly what the Welsh patriotism that you speak of is like. It can be crippling if surrounded by a group of them.
Good for you for getting out of there and good luck with the bf.

The boyfriend and I are, alas, no longer together (he moved out of our flat today and we split in March)- I didn't tell the parents for months because I knew Father would say I had no reason to stay here now and demand I "come home" in spite of my having a job and friends here. He was so determined I move back that when I said "what about my friends?" he said "oh don't worry about keeping in touch with them, you'll make new ones." He has one friend in all the world who I call Creepy Brian, because he is - and I'm amazed he's kept hold of him. The man is a sociopath and the rabid patriotism is one reason I like living as far from him as possible - you have my eternal sympathy!
