I reckon they were hidden away when LeWoman was on the prowl.

[of note: since my old English dentist retired some years ago I've been seen by several, excellent European (and one Indian) female dentists, and also one sadistic Welshman. I prefer the foreign dentists! They're better looking for one]

I play Dentist Bingo when I go. I don't think I've had the same one twice in the last 5 years.

Perhaps it's me?

As a foreigner myself I ask this question in all innocence with no disrespect intended to anyone:
I take it then that the English do not consider the Welsh foreign?

As to dentists - I'm from West Virginia 

Have a festive holiday RW

Nope, same applies in the dentist I use on Catterick Garrison.

Welshman
Polish
Colonel in the British Army (I forgot about her - don't know why she was in a civvie clinic, mind. Unless she'd recently retired and still used her rank, which is fair enough)
Same Polish woman
Indian (temp. dentist - it was an emergency appointment)
Dutch. She sent me to hospital - with a mucous cyst - where I saw an Indian, or Bangladeshi doctor
Spanish (last two times)

The Welsh dentist left for whatever reason, and the Polish dentist left as she received a better offer elsewhere in the UK (possibly partnership in a practice, if memory serves me correct? She was an excellent dentist so it was a bit of a loss to not been treated by her any more)

Nope. Not me, at least. My paternal ancestry is Welsh. I'm a bit of an English mongrel, with all manner of British nationalities making up my blood and both main denominations of religion thrown in for good measure.

Seasons Greetings and all that, too d_guy

Technically I'm an Englishman, being born on the Wirral, which is now mostly part of Merseyside. I was schooled in Wales, where I learnt to speak Welsh, and my ancestry is English, Welsh, Scots, Dutch and Turkish.

According to the dna tests:
Anglo-Welsh on one side.
Anglo-Norwegean/Viking on the other!

Also a Merry Christmas from me. Have been ultra busy, thus not here often  .

See you all 2016, I hope.

Given my interest in the Celtic Fringe I think it is fantastic that the languages of the different regions are being taught and preserved!
Me - I'm still learning "English", but this board is helping.

I am impressed that you speak Welsh, good on you.

My wife's profile is close to yours (she's not from around here)

Mine - Ireland and Western Europe (centered on southern Germany)

Joyous Noel, MadL

Dad's side is Scots with a bit of Irish and Nordic.

Mum's side is Irish with a bit of Scots and Lancashire.

Was it your Mom's left side or right side that was Irish cause that could be significant

For many of us here MP was our first exposure to various forms of "English" and British humor in general.
We were all - like was said else where - WTF!
