At the weekend we went over the bloody bridge [paying to enter Wales] for a short day trip as we were staying over that way.
Ever since I've had the squits and can't survive more than about 30 minutes away from a loo. I blame the Welsh and all their produce. 
And another thing. Why do we have to pay to go from England to Wales, when England bloody well owns and totally subjugated the principality, and yet the stinking sheep shifters get to enter England for free?

Just the bloody runs. Stupid bloody welsh bloody food and/or water.
I barely managed the school run this morning - quick shyt, took eldest to school, got back within 40 minutes and straight to the can. Then walked youngest to school, 20 minute round trip, and needed to go again.

I am unsure about needing that level of detail about your inner life.

I didn't cook it! (Or not cook it as seems more likely, given your current "confinement")

Simple: we don't really want the English to come in, and we do want you to leave when you run out of money!

It should be the other way round or maybe just charge if the vehicle smells of wool...

What can you tell us about Welsh food? Anything special?

It's elephanting awful?
A bowl of chips / fries is known as a "Swansea Salad" because it is one of the few vegetables the locals will eat. The speciality dish of Laverbread (or Bara Lawr in Welsh) is made of chopped, boiled seaweed mixed with oats and fried. It looks like a giant has a bad cold, and tastes...um...unique. It is not worth developing a taste for. Other than that, it's mostly soups and stews because the country has traditionally been the poor neighbour of England and money and meat were not that available.
Ingredients wise Welsh Lamb (especially saltmarsh grazed) is truly excellent, possibly the best in the world.
Frankly? The food here is not bad in most places - if you discount the preponderance of fried potatoes - but that is mostly because the national cuisine is so bad most people eat English, French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, etc. instead!

I love sea food so I guess I will like it over there.

Don't blame the Welsh food; they seem to eat it without issue.
Blame instead, your consitution which has been weakened by eating English food.

The free exit makes sense really. Bearing in mind anyone who enters Wales will be leaving again shortly afterwards (at speed) why charge twice? Do it once at double the amount.
I wish they'd do that on the QE2 bridge as well. In fact, why they charge at all now its all been paid for is a pertinent question.

You don't, obviously, which makes your post a bit silly.

If you don't pay you don't enter.

You can always drive round the Severn: it's only the bridge over it that charges for entry.
And why do we not charge both ways? Cost! It needs toll booths, equipment, lanes, people, security, etc., etc. This way, the cost of the bridge is recouped eventually.

I think the real reason for a one way toll is that the expect anyone coming from wales to be broke so wont have money for a toll
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

They expect everyone that come and paid need to return back so he will be already paid that is why they do not pay again. Only guessing
