Welcome mate!
Not sign related, but…….I think Wales is a very pretty corner of the world! Even though I hail from the sandy deserts of Namibia, I worked in Wales for a short while about 20 years ago. In a quaint small little town. Porthcawl, in Mid Glamorgan.
I promised my wife I will take her there (Wales) for our 10th Anniversary (3 years left). Then I want to take a proper tour, going from pub to pub sampling the local brew .
I think the stuff I drank there wass called Allbright or Allright or somthing 😀 It certainly made me feel Allright after 7 or 8 pints! :lol1:

Crikey Gert,
That makes you even Welsher than me.
Drinking Allbright in a pub in Porthcawl. You are as Welsh as they come now.

Blimey, thats proper welsh that is!
Thanks for the welcomes.. 😀

Hi James & Welcome 😉

Hi James, welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome to the boards James.
Blimey, Allbright. Now I feel old! On reflection what a terrible pint!!!
Gert, you are now an honorary Welshman after drinking Allbright 😀 thankfully I don’t think its brewed any more so ask for Brains.

Hehehe, Neil,
I did not want to say this less I offend someone.(about the "quality" of Allbright) BUT in Namibia we have some of the best beer in the world. Local beer frequently palm in international prizes. It is proper german beer, brewed according to the Reinheitsgebott. But back then, I thought ALL beer tasted like Allbright in the Queen’s domain.
We drank it because it was 50p cheaper than the rest.
(Duck)………..it still tasted waaaay better than Guiness……
But dont worry, I will sample each and every brand when I get there again. Behave like a proper lager Lout :lol1:
It is funny, but I still remember many little things. Like passing the Rizzla factory, going through a long tunnel under the water in the train, the funny little "farms" out there that will fit 100x into our sheep farms.(A sheep farm in Namibia is typically about 30 000 acres)
But I still loved it! I am the only African backpacker that never went to London. Arrived at Heathrow, took the bus to Reading, then the train to Wales. (Bridgend?? a few km from Porthcawl)
Those were the days. I travelled a lot as a youngster. Went to 5 countries with some friends on a motorbike tour, smuggled some contrabrand with UNITA rebels in Angola as weekend fun (while the war was going full force there)
At least I have some stories to tell the kids…

Gert, you did the right thing heading west rather that east when you were in the UK 😀
Ahh, I see your logic – 50p was alot of money back then.
I do like a drop of Guinness tho and do like to try different tipples from around the world (hic)Looks like James’ welcome post has turned into "what’s your favourite drink"
