UK inter-country racism

[Gob]

A drunken Welsh wedding guest who insulted the English was convicted of racism today.

Phillip Pritchard, 32, was on a coach home from a smart country wedding in Wales when he started singing anti-English songs.

A court heard Pritchard, a father of two, was 'winding up' some of the wedding guests who travelled from England for the ceremony at the upmarket Peterstone Court Hotel in Brecon.

He began by singing rugby songs but then segued into anti-English chants of his own design.

Another Welshman on the coach objected to Pritchard’s taunts and a 'heated row' erupted, forcing the coach driver to pull over into a lay-by and call police.

Prosecutor Helen Tench said: 'The passengers had been to a wedding reception when Pritchard began singing rugby songs.


'He then started singing: “I’d rather cut my f****** arm off than be English”.

'Passenger Gwyn Richards felt it was abusive as there were people he knew to be English on the coach.'

The wedding guests were on their way home from the luxury Peterstone Court Hotel in Brecon, South Wales, when Pritchard started his anti-English abuse.

Pritchard, of Swansea, admitted using racially aggravated threatening, insulting, abusive words or behaviour.

Lucinda Nicholls, defending, said: 'He was one of many guests at a wedding function and it appears they were all intoxicated to some extent.

What's that, where the bride wears a clean bowling shirt? *

Sorry Jim, they don't. No "bowling shirt" scene in Wales.

If you'd have said a "clean shell suit", you'd have had a hit on your hands.

What colour bowling shirt did your wife wear to your wedding by the way?

[oldr_n_wsr]

zoot suit, white jacket with side vents, five inches long

[Gob]

And what did you wear?

[oldr_n_wsr]

I'm out on the steet again, and I'm leaping along
Just right, for a street fight and I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling is still here in my brain.

What colour bowling shirt did your wife wear to your wedding by the way?

She wore a lovely white gown....

(Which in her case, was probably somewhat inappropriate....)

Did I say that out loud

'He then started singing: “I’d rather cut my f****** arm off than be English”.

Two things.

a. what was the tune - Men of Harlech or All through the Night?

2. Agreed - the English would rather the Welsh cut their arms off than be English so where's the insult?

Why...are most Welsh actually cold-water oceanic fish? :p

[MajGenl.Meade]

"Oy, I'm from Darwin. I'm not NS Welsh!"



"Two things. (1) it isn't me and (b) the fish and Darwin don't mix, ya wowzer"

Sometimes (ok many times) I have no clue what you guys are talking about.
This is one of those times.
