Why?

> (BTW - Sandy - laver bread???)

Just as the Scots are a nation divided over orthography,
so the Welsh (or should I say 'Wallace'? :) are a nation
divided over laver bread. Every now and again at a social
gathering there's some patriot with a lump of laver bread
trying to persuade people to eat it. While some view the
prospect with relish, there's always a considerable number
who, no matter how strong their desire to show themselves
as patriotic as the next person, just can't entertain the
notion of tucking into something that looks like a mutant
radioctive cowpat, however tasty it might turn out to be.

'Na ti 'perception' i ti   :)
