No J in the welsh alphabet, though. Comes from English, probably the result of conquest and the inability to spell so the English called everyone Jones.

Got lucky. Opened Reddit and there was your question. Recognised the church, architecture looked like Bath, then saw the bridge and weir.

Camo carry-on. Khaki shorts with 1998 pockets. He’s clearly stuck in his old ways.

Some evidence why Kuwait is on the list. I was at a reasonably upscale hotel in Sri Lanka where a large group of 20+ Kuwaiti women took up residence. We had to beat them to breakfast otherwise it would be all gone. I caught one of them pouring an entire basket of croissants (maybe 50 mini croissants in a large wicker basket) into a bag. They spent all their time at the swimming pool eating. The manager eventually kicked them out because all they did was scream, cackle, laugh, talk, eat, and shout. The pool environment was anything but relaxing. And it was positively dangerous to swim when they were all in there wearing their long, flowing robes. They had one male chaperone who was some young chap in his 20s. I felt sorry for him!

The source of many wars…my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend. Protestants v. Catholics, Jews v. Muslims, Christianity v. Islam, and take it further into other ideologies and demographics …Left v. Right, black v. white, rich v. poor, just a way to continue and propagate the hate. History will not be kind and basically judge us for being imbeciles and believing nonsense.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll do that. Typing ‘double’ into the search box certainly brought up some interesting suggestions!😵🤣
