Good for you! Keep making progress on this.

Wonder when it’ll happen in the “Mother of Parliaments”?

Well said. Good piece in the Financial Times today about this same story. Bet it isn’t reported in the Western Mail or Daily Post.

Hope Plaid takes up James D’ s idea and not spend all their cyberspace time whittering on about “Rhodri”, etc. What happened to the Independence Initiative?

Good. Now for Welsh community councils to do likewise. We after all have our own neo-Falangists to get rid of. Local government is there to implement the will of the people, not to follow orders from the Generalissimo in Whitehall.

Pelagius: I’ve nothing against it being clearly labelled as coming from Wales, just think it makes better sense environmentally if we all drink water from the country we are in, and preferably from the tap, not stuff bottled and shipped across the world – buying Welsh/French/Irish water in New York is a crazy concept, in my opinion.

Jill, the great thing about your blog is that you always come up with new ideas and not just follow the media agenda like so many others. Keep it up!

C’mon, Jill. Ireland is not just an independent country, it is also a republic, where the people are not just consulted. They are sovereign. They amend their own constitution and elected politicians have to make laws within that.

But I totally agree with you on the new UK commissioner. Your suggestion that the UK government nominee appears before the National Assembly and other devolved administrations, is a great idea. Well done.

I hope we see Plaid take your initiative seriously and back you all the way.

I’ve seen Ty Nant labelled as English in New York. I told the store manager his point of sale advertising was wrong but he wasn’t interested! :-s

Jill, I thought I would save you the need to write to Ty Nant as I picked up your blog care of google alerts.
I am delighted that our brand is prominently displayed at the worlds number 3 airport. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for Cardiff whose retail outlets continue to stock brands from outstide of Wales. Some influence here would be greatly appreciated as we would love to sell more of our wonderful naturally produced product nearer home.
Actually all our packaging states that Ty Nant Natural Mineral Water is from Wales of which we are very proud. Our outer packaging also carries a red dragon.
We fully agree that we produce quality products in Wales and have been supporting local rural jobs by extolling these virtues around the world for 20 years now!

This has its downside though. Exxon Mobil’s latest global TV advert brags about their LNG terminal in Wales!
