Plus One, it's great to learn and understand routes on the ground, not just from maps

I know Wales Cymru very well, can anyone describe the village Wales?

Reminds me of a humorous incident from a few years back. Company I worked for (in south Sheffield) sent goods all over the country, one of the drivers loaded up, checked his paperwork and set off. The bosses were alerted something was up when the customer in Wales (less than 10 miles from the factory!) rang to find where the delivery was.
This being pre mobile phones they couldn't contact the driver and it was several hours later that he rang the office - from south Wales as in Cymru. Don't think he ever lived it down but he did check the delivery addresses better after that. :lol:
Convention? what's that then?

Haha! Bet he wasn't the first and probably not the last to make the mistake - less forgivable these days I suppose because of SatNav.
:D :lol:
