SWANSEA Bay and the valleys should all be called Cardiff, billionaire Sir Terry Matthews has said. He also said Newport should become a district of Wales's capital city. Newport-born Sir Terry claimed south east Wales should promote itself to the world as "Cardiff, the brand." He has been interviewed for tonight's BBC Wales Week In Week Out programme in which he said: "If I was king, I would go [from] Swansea to Newport and I'd circle it and include the valleys. I'd say that's Cardiff." He added that he believed Newport would do "better economically" as a region of the capital. Admitting his idea would be controversial, Sir Terry, who was speaking from his corporate headquarters in Ottawa, Canada, said: "If Newport was a region of Cardiff it would do better economically. Many people won't like these words but I believe this started a long time ago - size matters." The Welsh government is currently examining how a south east Wales city-region might operate. http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/S...tory-18460958-detail/story.html#axzz2O12GJK3I
Sorry to disappoint your pathetic attempt to wum Queenslander. Reaction - we couldn't give a flying fu.ck mate. 10 years ago Sam Hamann said everyone in Wales should support Cardiff - look whats happened since.
That's the problemn with billionaires. They think they have a voice because they have have made shed loads of money. Often, however, the voice emanates from between the buttocks. How would we react if the powers that be decided that it would be more economically viable to refer to the whole of West London as Chelsea?! A succesful but daft man who obviously is no longer in touch with ordinary people.
I wish that were true! You should try living in London, mate. The thought police are around every corner. I'm actually on holiday in Wales at the moment. I love the way the Welsh are so proud to be Welsh! It's not just because of the rugby either - it's always like that.
APPARENTLY DELETED BY A BUNCH OF W.A.N.KE.K.R.S WHO CAN GIVE IT BUT NOT TAKE IT... swans Wumm= ****e...no personality people from Cardiff...Maybe they should do a ground share.....2 scum teams together...then all we need do is cal RAF Northolt...!!
Rangers Till I Die - Have a look at this. Hopefully it will make you laugh. A few rugby boys on tour in Wakefield last weekend and a bit of general drunkeness (you may need to be on Facebook to view it though) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200243841830971&set=vb.1000546105&type=2&theater
