Absolutely love the Vollpension Café in Vienna. A social enterprise employing pensioners to mitigate loneliness and provide an extra income. And amazing food.

Whether you are Welsh or not, people in the UK need to be aware of Wales' treatment.
The most infuriating thing isn’t that Wales is treated as a non-country – it’s that we accept it | Will Hayward

From the the Barnett formula to the humiliation of having an English ‘Prince of Wales’, you’d never catch Scotland allowing this treatment
When you come to Wales, one of your first impressions is of how delighted people here are to be Welsh. Even those…

This is key. Every single U.K. government department has a negotiation with the treasury about their budgets except the devolved Governments. So our block grant is decided not on Wales’ needs but as an afterthought. Completely unacceptable and a key failure of the devolved settlement .
“When the UK chancellor announces their budget, the Welsh government hears what’s in it at exactly the same time as every other person in the UK. It is impossible for the Senedd to plan long term…. No other country ties the spending allocations to its regions to its largest constituent state.”
