RE: Earthquake

Fortunately, the initial reports that may have been worrying proved
not to be as bad as they could have been. Thankfully.

Possibly a good time to close the thread ?

Thanks to all that showed concern.

For now the danger is over.

Regards Keith.

On 23rd February 1959, the flag currently in use was officially recognised as the national flag of Wales.

A history of factors associated with the Welsh Flag;

It is thought that the Romans brought the dragon emblem to what is now Wales in the form of the Draco standards carried by Roman cavalry units. The Draco itself originated with the Sarmatians, a unit of whom were stationed in Britain from the 2nd to 4th centuries.

The oldest known use of the dragon to represent Wales is from the Historia Brittonum, which is commonly attributed to the Welsh monk Nennius around 830. The text describes a struggle between two serpents who prevent King Vortigern from building a fortress. This story was later adapted by Geoffrey of Monmouth in Historia Regum Britanniae (c. 1136) into a prophecy by Merlin that the white dragon, representing the Saxons would at first dominate but would eventually be conquered by the red dragon, symbolising the Celts. Geoffrey also tells us that King Arthur had a golden dragon banner.

In 1400 Owain Glyndwr raised a golden dragon on a white background as his banner during his revolts against the occupation of Wales by the English crown.
Henry VII's banner at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 incorporated a red dragon, which he attributed to Cadwaladr, King of Gwynedd from c.655 to 682, on the Tudor colours of green and white. Afterwards it was carried in state to St Pauls Cathedral and included as a supporter of the Tudor royal arms to signify their Welsh descent.

It was recorded at the time that the 'honorable' Scargill went from mine to mine in a chauffeur driven car telling the strikers he was behind them.
Maybe he was with a big knife.
But by that time so many of the mines were no longer viable and if you care to read his biography he tells how he knew the mining industry was just about gone but could not let his members down.

Here in Oz we have almost enough coal for the next 1,000 years but the clean new era energy people have just about killed it but we still export large amounts to China and India.

This is a long way from an earthquake, bit like the Welsh flag I think, and I am sure Doc will know when to close it.
