The New Breed of Entrepreneur! August 31, 2015. August 31, 2015. WE have a few victims of life knocking about Swansea city centre doorways, this may well have something to do with the council’s politics of concrete, after all they did insist on stone slabs instead of floral splendour at what was once the Castle Gardens. Comfy respite for our noble road dwellers was out then. Well, a few minutes later I saw her running into William Hill’s! Now that’s what I call Welsh entrepreneurial spirit for you! The f...

It all started with Lord Kilbrandon and ‘Scotland’s oil’. |
https://lettersfromwalesuncut.com/2015/08/10/it-all-started-with-lord-kilbrandon-and-scotlands-oil
It all started with Lord Kilbrandon and ‘Scotland’s oil’. August 10, 2015. August 10, 2015. At least this is what the possessive nationalist SNP called North Sea oil, back in the 1970’s. Almost out of the blue, the old refrain of Scotland being too skint to be independent was for the birds. Scotland was loaded and England was on the back foot of abject poverty. Political nationalism was on the rise in both countries –. LFW uses the word ‘countries’ reservedly, neither are sovereign States. The Kilbrandon...

Scottish Maths Higher exam ‘too hard’ but is it? |
https://lettersfromwalesuncut.com/2015/08/04/scottish-maths-higher-exam-too-hard-but-are-they
Scottish Maths Higher exam ‘too hard’ but is it? August 4, 2015. August 4, 2015. There’s still a 70.8% pass rate? And are not exams supposed to be hard? There are of course the mitigating circumstances for those who feel hard done by, in that these days students are allowed to take their text books into the exam room and a large percentage of degree awards is based on course work. In 1970 there were 621,000 students in Higher Education, now there are 2.5 million plus. Elitist back in 1970? Notify me of n...

Corbyn’s Progress |
https://lettersfromwalesuncut.com/2015/07/28/corbyns-progress/comment-page-1
July 28, 2015. July 28, 2015. We live in a democracy, like it or not. Jeremy Corbyn, whatever one’s political persuasions, is entitled to state his case without fear or on occasions vicious media opprobrium. All this political glass house, armchair quackery is becoming exceedingly tiresome. If there is an appetite for far left change, then no doubt those who hold the real power ie the people (in spite of what jumped-up, political conspiracy fantasists are inclined to advocate) will have their will. Who a...

Gay Brighton and KY Jelly! August 24, 2015. August 25, 2015. I just have to tell you about a trip I recently made to Brighton, on some book signing thing. Anyway, I might not have been paying him wages but I still had to fork up for all expenses. Being the mean sort, I’d booked us into a B&B for the night (actually, these days B&B’s are more like plush hotels, 150 a night some of them! Brummie Colin of course couldn’t resist the bright lights of Brighton, while I could. So that evening off he went ‘o...

2012 Olympics: More scoffing and sore backsides! |

2012 Olympics: More scoffing and sore backsides! August 4, 2015. August 4, 2015. In 2012 the editor of LFW predicted that the Olympics would in no way encourage our young to get out there and a row a boat or throw some spears about the place. Playing sport is in decline, pizza and Coke sales are up and there are more corns on peoples’ backsides from sitting down too much than ever before! Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).
