You come over to the Celts Corner with me, @Renegade, @Sir Fallsalot, and @Specs! Us Celts are the tops. The "Foil Cape of Brynaman" is a 3rd century relic made from pure platinum which was, at the time, mined exclusively in the British Isles near Prestatyn. The cape was beaten from a single piece of platinum, probably using deer antler & conkers. The cape was unearthed in 1938 in upper Brynaman by a local farmer whilst clearing an old well. Incredibly he used the cape to patch a hole in a shed roof until it was recognised for what it was 30 years later, when a travelling antiques dealer spotted it gleaming in the summer sun. The cape was taken to the British Museum for verification and restoration. The farmer received £1000 in compensation from the Queen which he used to buy the first Ford Capri in West Wales at a cost of £890. The cape is believed to have been commissioned by Arglwydd Arfryn (Lord Arfryn) a fierce warlord who ruled all the lands from Garnant to Cwmllynfell. He was defeated at the battle of Cwm Gors by Sir Keith of Monmouth in 378. Sir Keith happened to be passing through when he accidentally spilt a pint of mead belonging to Arfryn in the beer garden of the Queen of Hearts. All hell broke loose and Arfryn, who was on his ninth pint, was slain as he attempted to order a tenth mid battle. Sir Keith continued on his journey, and the area, particularly north of the Napoli pizza and kebab takeaway has remained lawless until this very day. The local heritage society is raising funds in order to commission a replica of the cape and to restore the Ford Capri, both of which would go on display in the proposed Upper Brynaman Museum which will have a cafe serving hot and cold snacks and Welshcakes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that Cornwall, much like a great deal of rural Wales, is overrun with Ingurlisch retirees? Not many of us true Celts left these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure @zzzak has that same cape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also worryingly true. Quote Related Do most Cornish people consider themselves English? A lot of us call ourselves Cornish because, well, we are. And being granted minority status means we can. But some Cornish refer to themselves as English because they want to distance themselves from the small yet determined few who make Cornish Nationalism into something hostile and dangerous. We all get tarred with the same brush unfortunately. I'm a proud Cornish maid but that doesn't mean I buy into all of the anti England rubbish. I, just like the majority of us, know that we depend on tourism (from England and further afield) to survive in our county. And for the record most of us from, my experience, think of the English as great neighbors, not invaders. But the rich and entitled of whatever group that move here do make life difficult for us all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
