All you ever wanted to know about Wales

"BET you didn’t know that “Jones” was first recorded as a surname in England in 1279 centuries before surnames even existed in Wales?

Or that the desert scenes in the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia were shot in the sand dunes of Merthyr Mawr, near Bridgend?

And we bet you’ve got no idea whatsoever that under the dunes near Kenfig there is a Welsh Pompeii just waiting to be excavated?

Well, you do now."
