Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

[Grey Fox]

I've been in

Somerset
Wiltshire
Berkshire
Surrey
Greater London
City of London


Which is incidentally more than the US States I've been.

[garbon]

And you are a British citizen.

....snip map of a small bit of SE England...

Tamas, I'm gonna have to agree with you that's horrendous. 

[Sheilbh]

Going to join in the pile-on Tamas.

You need to leave the Shire - you're really not hanging out in the best bits of the UK

[mongers]

So far I'm the most Welsh friendly.

And the only bit of Wales I've been to was a holiday to Rhyl - which is like the less glamorous, North Welsh version of Blackpool

When I was doing mine I felt very guilty about my midlands erasure until I remembered I've been to Warwick, Leamington Spa and Nottingham.

Yes you choose the short straw of the North Wales coast, Llandudno would have been the better option, a gem of a Victorian seaside resort.

I don't get the Wales 'hate' or it being ignored, Cardiff is a cracking capital city; I'd rather visit it than Bristol, which excluding London is the next nearest large city to me.

Sometimes I've been to Wales three days in one week, just for pleasure or a bike ride. 

[Tamas]

 

Well we haven't had a car until 2016. What is not shown is that we have been sort of touristing more and more out of our central point in a circle since.

And I am fairly sure there are tons of British citizens who have never left London. 

[Jacob]

Not counting places I just passed through on the bus/ train/ ferry.

It's not a whole lot of places... but with a whole THREE counties in Ireland, does that put me in the lead there?

[Valmy]

I  curious what is so special about South Wales that the British decided to name a large part of Australia in its honor.

I didn't choose - my aunty and uncle took me on a caravan holiday. All I got was a game of crazy golf and food poisoning

I want to go to Wales a lot - Pembrokeshire, Anglesey, Snowdonia etc.

Plus I went to university in Bristol and had a lot of Welsh friends (it's about as far east as they were willing to settle ) especially from Swansea so want to make a trip there and especially to the Gower.

And going the other way, if you get to Swansea/Gower and there are very good trains or motorway there, then do make the effort to go just a bit further to the Pembroke coast; for Wales it feels like the world's end.
And probably nearly as far West as your childhood home?

Well in the mid Victorian period it was one of The industrial powerhouses of the world, certainly earlier when I guess the state was named, the coal industry was already significant.

Almost completely criminal population.

I still don't have a car.

That's two in the Republic and one in Northern Ireland. Larch had three in the Republic.
