love it bravo

Best manager ever for the Swans

The irony. Not so many years ago a public convenience closed in Sea Mills, Bristol. After alteration work was carried out it then reopened as a cafe. (Ace royal HRH Princess Anne was the celebrity who performed the opening ceremony; I kid you not!). No one is fazed by its former use when they have their food and drink there so what's the big deal in Merthyr Tydfil with a public bench?

A urinal in Wales, you never needed a sign to tell you where it was.

Have questions been asked in the House about this?

As the man says: Muhammed Ali never suffered any long term effects of boxing.

A triumph of parochial reporting. From the people to the people. Just don't tell anyone else.

When there wasn't any local news, you had to make some up. Doesn't happen quite so much now, 'cos we have the BBC One Show to generate an endless stream of twaddle. Not wanting to eat your chips where there was once a toilet is thoroughly neurotic. Perhaps people thought that the site of the demolished 'House of a million wees' was haunted.

That’s nothing. In Mid Devon there is a Thai restaurant in what used to be a public toilet block.

Yes, we need to know. Is it still there? Has it been Grade 1 listed? Is the fish and chip shop still there? Do the boys still use the bench? How old are they now? This is what social media was invented for.

It's like the reporter is practicing how to present biased ragebait vapour, but in a safe space.

This was a stupid segment, with a reporter who seems to think toilet germs are something that's capable of hiding in minuscule crevices, specifically to leap out and attack unsuspecting bench sitters decades later. I did love hearing those glorious Welsh accents though - it always feels as though my ears have been given a present when l hear Welsh people talking. Arohanui mai Aotearoa.

I love it. Is there a bench still there, and is the structure still there?

First lady disputes the bench being there, then gives a perfect example if why it should be there......

Kein Wort verstanden, aber die Sprache ist schon böööse sexy :D

Ah the random TH-cam algorithm, we meet again.

Amazing.

I wonder if it's still there?

This is the content we need more of.

Somehow this feels like the beginning of a Monty Python sketch.

So the media was just as idiotic then as it is now?

Riveting stuff!

Slow news day?

Bench sitting? More like bench ignoring!

Great video that's where I started boxing in 1980 Merthyr Abercanaid ABC my coach Gareth Donovan

The intro of Bilidowcar (1982-1988) has now found.

Neis iawn! Helo o Fangor, mi fyddai'n mynd adref yfory. :(

So many familiar faces and a very distinctive voice to tell the tale.

G'day to you! I hope there is more of this to come, in a little South Aust. you can see the remains of Welsh and Cornish Settlers, Welsh Built Square Chimneys and the Cornish Miners Round, very interesting Historic Place, When I went to Wales back in '98 I bought a Welsh Flag with the Dragon on it,still have it, We love Wales!

u cant escape your fate

Very happy to have found your channel.

I'm a valley boy, my eldest boy is living in Ohio after having enough of the nonsense in the UK. Seems like little has changed. Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing that. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Bloody migrants.

Ggawchos. Many of the miners of S Wales originally hailed from Devon and Somerset during the 1870s agricultural depression.

I did my best to escape the shithole of the valleys only to end back here.i suppose its my shithole after all 😁

Fascinating, I would like to see more but alas the library does not have an English translation and although my middle name is Evans I can make neither hide nor hair of the Welsh lingo.

Fascinating. The need to get away from home is universal.

As a Welshman, I, too, emigrated to escape the poverty and despair of South Wales some fifty years ago. I'm glad I did, as I have more than I could ever have achieved back home.

Very interesting!
