  • It’s easy. W is a vowel in Welsh. It sounds similar to ö in German and it can be modified as ŵ to elongate the sound such as in the word dŵr which means water.

    Wrwgwai or Wcrain (for example) are the natural way to spell those countries using the Welsh alphabet. Its a highly phonetic language believe it or not.

    It was horrible to watch. You make sensible suggestions in your post, I just think breed bans are the sort of knee jerk reactions that politicians love because it looks decisive and isn’t a difficult decision. Unlikely to achieve anything in the long run, the mastiff in this video isn’t even the breed that is getting banned.

    The issue needs to be investigated, understood and properly addressed.

    I’m not going to get into the dangerous dog breed debate. In my view it isn’t a coincidence that there were lots of warnings about the mass breeding and purchase of puppies during covid leading to a lack of socialisation and neglect, and what we are seeing 2 years on.

    The dog ownership landscape changed during covid, quicker than any regulation could keep up.







  • Not sure about the 100% point but you will certainly need long term storage which is an unsolved problem. A point I wanted to make was that with enough renewables installed you have the baseload. You would also have an excess of production at peak times that would be useful to store long term.

    My personnal view is that a sensible energy mix should have some nuclear but I don’t think it is the key to solving our future energy requirements and should be minimal as it isn’t good value.
