    I'm not surprised. I suspect your parents may have been cousins. :D

    Surely if that were the case, he would be Welsh, wouldn't he?

    Do your parents know that you are accessing the Internet unsupervised?
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Hey Sturlly boyo

    ***JOKE ALERT***

    All English are ****ers!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    We flew back into Bristol once. I can't remember how far we were on our way back home before we realised we had no English money on us :o.It was some stupid time in the morning. We had to go back into Bristol to find an all night garage.

    We didn't know of any nearby place not being English and local and all... I try not to go over there too often - not because of the toll to come back but too many unfunny people telling very bad jokes.

    my friend just come back over the severn bridge into wales..he had no money to pay the toll and was running out of petrol...they would not let him through untill eventually they said he could go through but will have a £80 charge to pay....he had no choice but to accept...

    er.... if he had no money or card and was running out of petrol, how was he going to buy petrol?

    I wonder who ownes Severn River Crossing given your abuse to the welsh there. Severn River Crossing is based in England so I'm not sure it is a Welsh Company.

    If we are going to insult "foreigners", lets do it properly - both bridges are operated by a FRENCH company !
  • the trouble with the bridge is that if the signs saying that it's a pay bridge are after any turnings off to get cash out, it also does not say on the signs that they do not accept credit cards

    and as for turning around, where can this be done when you reach the tolls?

    If it's the original bridge then there's the junction for Aust/Severn Beach right before the bridge; the Severn View services have plenty of cash machines.
