Within Wales, men from Flintshire (Flintshireites) are not renowned for their generosity, munificence or open-handedness and this is why.
A Englishman called James and a Flintshireite called lan met in a Glasgow bus station, both were broke and both were thirsty.
The Englishman had an idea for getting a free beer: 'I know a barmaid in a pub near here who has got a very bad memory. If you get her involved in a conversation she can't remember whether you've paid or not. Let me try it on first.'
James went into the pub, chatted to the barmaid, and duly got his free drink. Now it was the Welshie's turn to try. lan sauntered up to the bar, ordered his pint and began to tell the barmaid all about life in Wales. Ten minutes later he drained his glass and said to the barmaid. 'Well, it's been lovely talking to you but I've got to be off now. What about my change?'
Come on England!!
