On or around Wed, 05 May 2004 13:04:38 +0100, Steve enlightened us thusly:

some sort of news story that one of the welsh ford plants (Bridgend, I'd imagine) is going to be making engines for Land Rover.

can't see anything int he bbc news website mind. I assume it was on the welsh news

Sorry Austin, and any other Welshmen out there, but I can't resist this one....

"Does that mean that all new landrover engines will be built with leeks instead of leaks?" LOL.

I know this is getting very OT but locally we have a bus that runs from

"Keele to Leek"

Now if only Keele didn't have that last "e" it would be a wicked coincidence.

Bugger. It took me a while to get this one - but how was a poor colonial supposed to know that the leek is the national emblem for Wales? Jeez, could the Welsh think of something better?

And I always thought only Australians ate their national symbol (kangaroos - I haven't tried emu yet).
