    Thanks for posting this. Well done for not deleting that shameful display of cardiff hospitality. I endured 17 years living in that place and we'd get those sort of comments from 3 yr olds whilst their parents looked on. Now living in the valleys and whilst there is a healthy ribbing, being surrounded by cardiff supporters, there is a stoical attitude of live and let live from folks who still have the morals and good grace to welcome all to their community.

Great holiday at Trecco followed Up the Jacks
