BACK IN THE DAY

GETHIN GOES WORKING PICKING THE SPUDS DOWN PENFRO. ALSO WENT TO THE COTSWOLDS PICKING STRAWBERRIES - MY KIDS IN TOW AND THEY LOVED THE LATTER. ALSO, IN MY TIME, WORKED ON A FARM IN THE GWAUN VALLEY, AND WHEN MUCH YOUNGER, IT WAS A DELIGHT FOR US YOUNGSTERS TO GO AND HELP THE LOCAL FARMERS IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD TO BRING IN THE HAY.

DOWN TO EARTH - PRESENT DAY WALES/CYMRU.

IF ABOVE IS THE TRUTH AND I THINK IT IS, THEN WE ARE IN FOR MUCH FUTURE SERIOUS TROUBLE! FURTHER KEEP IN MIND WELL TO TO THE FORE> ON THE EVE OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 90% OF WHEAT BRITAIN USED IN IT'S BREAD WAS SOURCED FROM OVERSEAS. SAME REGARDS SUGAR AND, SUPRIZINGLY BUTTER TOO! MORE THAN HALF OUR MEAT CAME FROM ARGENTINA. AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND, ALTOGETHER 70% OF BRITAIN'S FOOD WAS IMPORTED. NOW TODAY, OPTIMISTICALLY ON THE EVE OF SOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE, HOW DOES CYMRU/WALES LOOK? POSSIBLY/PROBABLY ON THE EVE OF STARVATION?

SO WHAT WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
