1. "Wales has what you Americans would call a 'manana' culture - it's pretty much like Mexico here if you would like something done quickly."
2. "Wales is like England 50 years ago, so if you like that, you'll love it here."
3. "A hurricane in the United States? You all haven't seen real weather until you've seen a winter storm in Wales." [I bit my tongue at this one, having just read about people on the island my parents live on in New England who in the 1950s lashed themselves and their children to trees for two days as a hurricane washed their houses past them]
4. "In England you find a hill with a tiny stone outcrop on it, and they give it a name, rope it off, build a parking garage, sell tickets to it and open a souvenir stand to commemorate your visit to the Most Amazing Hill ever. Here in Wales we don't even know that stone outcrop exists because we're busy looking at real mountains."
5. "Well if you like sheep that much, you'll love Wales."
