Do the Welsh not say "ta" for thankyou?
No...we Welsh say 'diolch'. I know that some people ( Lancs and Yorks and London especially) say 'ta' for 'thanks' so those people in Bangor should too. Try saying 'aye' after every sentence... that's how Bangor people speak English. They talk like this, aye........ Their favourite car is an XR3 aye, and they spell Mississippi like this: M, aye, double S, aye, double S, aye, double P, aye. People of North Wales take the piss out of the way they talk.
How do you run like a Welsh man?
It's from an old UK nursery rhyme of '"Taffy is a Welshman, Taffy is a thief, Taffy came to my house And stole a piece of beef." As though he's running like he's stolen something.
Is the name "Smudge" a common nickname in the UK?
smudge is a (UK) nickname for anyone who's surname is Smith. It is rarely (if ever) used as a nickname except by close (work) mates. It is not his real name. (Ask his real name, I'm sure he would appreciate it as 'Smudge' is more of a male to male name) As an ex serviceman, myself, anyone with the surname Smith would automatically be called Smudge or Smudger. Other typical nicknames, for example, (most often used by servicemen) Taffy= someone from Wales Brummie= someone from Birmingham Knobby= surname of Clark Chalky= surname of White Jock= someone from Scotland Geordie= someone from Newcastle I don't think Americans use it as a nickname neither is it used for women whose surname is Smith. It tends to be more a male bonding sort of nickname.
Roman Britain was multi-ethnic. What happened to the ethnic minorities - did they leave with the Romans or were they assimilated into the British population?
Britain was ' multi-ethnic' before the Roman invasion, remained so during the occupation, and carried on being multicultural after the Romans left. The majority assimilated to some extent, or even completely. Same as with every new influx, from the Angles and Saxons, to the Norse, to the Normans. They all brought their own distinct cultures which were gradually subsumed into the melting pot that is British culture.
