One day the Almighty said to his best mate the Archangel Gabriel "Gabby, 
I'm going to make a piece of earth of great beauty, wondrous blue lakes, 
lush forestry where from time to time the mountains will be snow capped. 
Precious stones and minerals will be sought from the world over and off 
it's shores the sea will be teaming with life. Running through this piece 
of earth will be coal seams which can be mined, and grazing land for 
cattle. The inhabitants will be known as the 'Welsh'"

"But Sire" said the Archangel Gabriel, 
"Aren't you being a little over generous ?" 

"Don't talk rubbish" said the Lord, 
"Wait until you see the neighbours I'm giving them"
