To clarify btw I was never against the song itself just it not being a 'County' song - I've been signing it around the house for weeks! (well the chorus anyway). I actually met Dafydd Iwan on a school thing years ago - it was about 1/3rd Welsh speakers and 2/3rds us Southerners - we even had United Nations style translation headsets! even then I managed to upset people with my controversial views although they did all seem to enjoy my skit/impression of Tony Blair!
