Description
Table of contents
An anthology containing the essence of Welsh humour in all its wildness and eccentricity. A collection of acerbic putdowns, daft definitions, controversial insights, gaffes, prejudices, hoary old gags and some quirky philosophical reflections. Quotes from the usual suspects are here, such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton, and some contemporary ones from people who cut to the chase.
