I'm half welsh- and drive a 2008 MX5. I don't live there but visit often. I see the slowing down through the villages as an act of courtesy to the residents and a thank you. There are plenty of spaces to enjoy the open road.....

I am loving the @theguardian.com new digital Editions format let's hope the scumbags at the Fail don't catch onto it. It is so intuitive and satisfying- even the adverts are part of the experience again. I rarely go to the Guardian website now.

Big thanks to you Sam for all the effort put into these over the years, we need measured and professional refection as well as a bit of humour to get through the day job. Details on the new Govt agenda will be very interesting over the new few years - shame the Podcast won't be there to judge 😕
