      The symbol of 3 feathers isn’t really a Welsh one. It’s come to be associated with Welsh Rugby and ‘the Prince of Wales’. The red dragon/draig goch, a leek or a daffodil would have been more appropriate to represent Wales.

    I love the cue cards (or whatever they are called) that Foil is holding. Always fab details and set dressing in a FAH sketch.

    Can't believe I slept through this one 😱 Really love this sketch, the delivery was brilliant. Great idea and smart move turning that t-shirt inside out 😆 Have a great day!

    Loved it! 👏👏👏 Great set design (well done Foil and Hog 😉), NI's "yes; no; it's complicated"; a suited and booted Foil, and the accents 😂 A difficult and complicated issue done with care and humour. Thank you for another Thursday laugh.

    Lads I think you're actually getting even better! Quite a few of the news ones have depth to them. I'm invested now!
