    I lived out in hedgerow country in Wales. (outside the village of LLandbdr-y-Fro) Two lane roads = one USA lane.

    Lived on a Farm with 50 head sheep, 40 chickens, couple Arabians, and a dozen Welsh Cobbs... loved it.

    Technically the speed limit is 60mph due to no national speed limit postings...

    Well, hopefully I'll come back as a super tricky sheep that has a few good moves and at least some of my limited human-abilities?

    ... yah, I'll merely live off-of-the-grid with my other not so smart sheep ...

    We'll be cool (I can't wait)

    mmmm, we'll eat grass

    I absolutely LOVED my time living there... Great country, great people, fun times. I rethought the the "American" philosophy of running businesses... More fun for me now.

    I earned a British Driving License when I lived there. Pretty tough. The instructor was a retired Chief Constable for South Wales. There are a lot of free-range sheep on the back roads. I used to slow down approaching a herd. LOL, he said, "DON'T do that! They BOUNCE!" LOL, with all the wool, they have extra padding. But, I would slow a bit anyway... :D

    Not sure it's necessary. A few years ago, in a court case in Britain, the use of the term directed at a Welsh person was ruled to be a "racially aggravating" factor in a disorderly conduct offence (source : Wikipedia).

    This will get a lot more likes:

    Than this, even though this coin is worth 5 times as much and rarely ever seen. More people are familiar with Roman coins, and they find the portraits more attractive than Chinese characters.
