If you are expecting our national poet, here in the rain sodden post industrial nation that is Wales to be called Williams, Thomas or Ap something or other think again. While my son delights in having his birthday on Owain Glyndŵr, or Owain ap Gruffudd Fychan to give him his Welsh name, day and this house often echoes to the sound of spoken Welsh, our national poet since 2022 is a different sort of Welsh.

Cross dressing artist Grayson Perry graced BBC Radio 4’s flagship “Today” programme this morning and engaged in a wide ranging chat with the sycophantic presenters. If he goes to the Coronation he intends to wear a dress he said. I bet the ranch he is exactly the sort of chap who will be invited by woke King Charles to show the diverse nature of a modern Britain. So what if 99.5% of chaps opt not to dress as birds ( a word now set to be banned so I shall use it more often), it is important to invite as many of the 0.5% as possible to show what Britain really looks like. And that brought us to discussing regions and the four home nations.
