Hi Elida Me again! Don't take too seriously what John says. My parents always joked that you needed a Welsh passport to get from England into Wales. You could go the other way with no problem. This links to the intense rivalry between the Welsh and the English. The idea of the passport was to stop the 'unwanted' English getting into Wales! It is, of course, only a joke. However, if you want some idea of the passion and rivalry between the English and Welsh you should go to the National Stadium when Wales play England at rugby union. The singing of the Welsh national anthem will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! I have experienced nothing like it.
