Re: Wales roads

I remember the good old Pre Brexit (PB) days, when the EU paid for those fabulous roads in NW Scotland. Did they not do the same for Wales back in the day? Genuine question.

Re: Wales roads

I remember the good old Pre Brexit (PB) days, when the EU paid for those fabulous roads in NW Scotland. Did they not do the same for Wales back in the day? Genuine question. Indeed they did.

Re: Justice my arse!!
