me too Sandie - though our Welsh expert[ :-S] insists it's Dafad

and you are right Paula - Pontypandy is the fictional home of the fictional Fireman Sam, though know it all probably thinks fireman Sam is real - no doubt they went to school together

"Dafydd y Garreg Wen" / "David of the White Rock" is what I sung in school.

Can do it in both, Welsh and English , my English version taught me in school isn't the same as wiki !

Exactly, Paula. And Norman Price. Have done some research since challenged about my neighbours, and regretfully have made an error. Bella was actualy born in Italy and came over as a young woman :-D

Thread getting like a UCAS clearing house :-( :-( Pontypandy University (aka Trefforest Mining Institute aka University of Glamorgan) , with sites in Trefforest and the lovely Nant Garw (vale of the deer) has a huge student population. 550 of the 18,000 students are Chinese nationals. Brfilliant addition to student population at this time of the year. It will soon be the Chinese Year of the Sheep. :-D

there is no such place as Pontypandy - it is fictional - and it is Dafydd y Garreg Wen - not Dafad!!!!

Pontypandy is NOT in Caerphilly County. Not cheesey at all. It is in Rhondda Cynon Taff County.

Pontypandy is where Bella Lasagne lives, where Tom Jones, Glyn Houston, Stanley Baker, H from Steps and Gordon Mills were born. Where Cwm Rhondda was written. Where George Thomas, the First Viscount Tonypandy was born. And it has a huge University. And a Subway.

Sheesh. Get in you car and head north and be educated ;-) Will happily show you round :-)

Muffy :-( :-( My spelling is awful. Should be contradiction :-( :-( :-(

AnnC Dafad y Garreg Wen is a Welsh song (literally Sheep of the White Rock). Nothing like the lovely David of the White Rock - this one is sung to Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" ;-)
