What's the point of a Prince of Wales?

I am not part of any campaign. But I am getting rather fed up with your rudeness to all and sundry volver.

How rude.

Please somebody, stick up for me.?

I sense a campaign.

Really volver, I didn’t think it possible but you are getting worse.

not everything is about you.

Even the posts that talk about what I might be thinking and use my name?

Gosh, this is complicated...

I will not apologise GSM as you were "talking" about me to others and making assumptions about what I thought and what I had done. You actually used my name.

Its just rude. Perhaps you might apologise for that?

I'll not hold my breath either.

Is this Pendants' Corner or have I lost my way?

The question is was it a general, rhetorical question to all or was it direct address?

Good example of mochyn daear Volver. ?

Not holding my breath btw.

Crossed posts GSM

Nothing to understand Volver. You’re wrong again.

GSM was talking to the participants on this thread, not directly to you! I know it’s difficult for you but, truly, not everything is about you.

Yes tickingbird it’s so obvious

But I wasn’t addressing you volver. I wasn’t addressing anyone in particular. Look at the post again and perhaps apologise.

To make the eldest son of the monarch Prince of Wales started as an insult to the Welsh, a constant reminder that the Welsh are a conquered nation.

Genuine question.

Is that an accurate and verified historical fact? The 'insult', I mean.

You’re probably correct there Annie. Has anyone noticed the common denominator where deleted threads are concerned?

Yes Brenda, another one

Oh good grief...

In the final paragraph you speak about me as if I am not there and you use the third person to do so. Its rude and (word of the week) disrespectful.

Perhaps volver might change her views after hearing so much Welsh spoken, including by the King, on his visit to Wales today. Though she probably didn’t watch it.

I'll rewrite it for you.

Perhaps volver you might change your views after hearing so much Welsh spoken, including by the King, on his visit to Wales today. Though I doubt you watched it.

Do we understand now?

Oh, not another one!

Oh I see, I should have said volver twice. Why is it patronising to use your username in one sentence and your pronoun in the next? Are you finally losing it?

You could have addressed me directly, as you are doing now. That would have been less patronising, instead of using the third person.

It’s a tad repetitive to say ‘the child’ twice in quick succession don’t you think volver? Pronouns are handy things.

I’ve known about the cat’s mother since I was a small child, no explanation required.

I thought I was being funny. Guess not. ?

volver

The child of friends of ours living in North Wales speaks Welsh as a first language, unlike her parents. That’s the way she’s taught in school.

Perhaps volver might change her views after hearing so much Welsh spoken, including by the King, on his visit to Wales today. Though she probably didn’t watch it.

Who's "she"?

The badger's mother?

"She" usually refers back, grammatically, to a female mentioned previously. I think that was you, Volver. It is not likely that the child of GSM's friends will change her views on the welsh language.

I don’t hate the English, I married one of them. I don’t hate anybody. The events of the past are just that, in the past. I’m not anti royal either, I like William and Catherine, but I really don’t want an English Prince to be called Prince of Wales. He’s prince of England, or Prince of the United Kingdom. Wales, Scotland and N Ireland do not have their own monarchies, we all share the Windsors. To make the eldest son of the monarch Prince of Wales started as an insult to the Welsh, a constant reminder that the Welsh are a conquered nation. I’m certain that is no longer the case, KC made that obvious on his walkabout today, there was genuine affection shown, and he addressed the Sennedd in Welsh too which was a lovely mark of respect. So why continue so a totally unnecessary put down to Wales by continuing that tradition. It rankles.

Good post, tickingbird on Fri 16-Sep-22 10:10:30. I have never thought ill of anybody from the other nations making up the UK and I just find it really difficult to understand the depth of dislike from some people based on a history we had no control of.
