Taking the Mickey
The Magic of Wales shop at Disney's Epcot should be a boon to Welsh culture. Unfortunately, the store is full of goods from Scotland. It could be these English-speakers think the Celts are all the same. After all, dydy'r Saeson ddim yn gallu canu'n dda.
The "Tartan Army" has taken over Wales - on the other side of the Atlantic. According to a North Wales businessman Scottish goods are dominating the shelves of a Welsh gift shop in Florida. Tartan ties, scarves and even a map of the Scottish clans fill the window of the Magic of Wales shop at Disney's Epcot Centre.

Quelle Surprise. I was about to comment on how every culture gets bastardized and homogenized in the melting pot. Then I read: 'Disney'. There be the culprit. Cultural assasins.
