-In the 1960s,

-before I got married...

0:00:040:00:07

-..I'd go around Wales

-with a group of friends in a car...

0:00:080:00:12

-..painting slogans.

0:00:120:00:14

-Wherever we saw a wall

-or a piece of concrete...

0:00:170:00:20

-..that was crying out for a slogan,

-we'd paint a slogan.

0:00:200:00:24

-"Cofiwch Dryweryn"

-was the favourite.

0:00:250:00:28

-They had just drowned the valley.

0:00:280:00:31

-So, that's what we did.

0:00:320:00:34

-We came across this wall

-in Cardiganshire, near Llanrhystud.

0:00:350:00:40

-It seemed a good place for a slogan.

0:00:400:00:42

-I got out of the car, painted

-the slogan, and off we went.

0:00:430:00:47

-We thought this created publicity...

0:00:480:00:51

-..for the cause of Tryweryn,

-which had been submerged by then.

0:00:510:00:56

-We also wanted people

-to remain aware...

0:00:570:01:00

-..that this happened to Tryweryn...

0:01:000:01:03

-..and that it could happen

-to any other valley.

0:01:030:01:06

-It felt good,

-as if I was doing something.

0:01:070:01:10

-I was a learner at the time.

0:01:120:01:14

-I'd painted "Cofiwch Tryweryn"...

0:01:150:01:18

-..which made perfect sense to me.

0:01:180:01:21

-But it should have been

-"Cofiwch Dryweryn".

0:01:210:01:25

-Later on, someone corrected

-the mutation to "Dryweryn".

0:01:260:01:31

-Then, shortly afterwards,

-someone added "Sorry, miss".

0:01:320:01:37

-"Sorry, miss".

0:01:380:01:39

-That was funny.

0:01:400:01:41

-Aberystwyth students, probably.

0:01:410:01:44

-Over the years,

-it's been repainted many times.

0:01:440:01:49

-At the time, no-one knew

-who had painted the slogan.

0:01:500:01:55

-It was a big secret.

0:01:550:01:56

-They were like Banksy,

-they just appeared overnight.

0:01:570:02:00

-But by now,

-people know that it was me.
