-Welcome to the latest soap opera

-where there's plenty of drama...

-..and colourful stories.

-All kinds of things

-go on in bathrooms.

-Plenty of characters are ready

-to digest the week's events.

-The rich are getting richer,

-the poor are getting poorer.

-From some direct views

-in Caernarfon.

-They're dangerous.

-Watch what you're saying.

-To the tittle tattle of Tregaron.

-Don't watch a horror movie.

-Just switch the news on.

-Awkward moments

-on the banks of the Teifi.

-It's absolutely disgraceful.

-The stories flow in Aberystwyth.

-It's like your front room.

-They think they can speak to you

-about anything.

-That's OK with me.

-It's not the size that counts.

-You're all the same size lying down.

-What goes on tour stays on tour.

-Talking of being on tour, President

-Trump visited Asia this week.

-It's been quite a journey for him...

-..since he was elected president

-precisely a year ago.

-I read something last week.

-He's the president who's lost the

-most support during the first year.

-What's he done in the past year?

-Lied. Pointed at people.

-He's continually pointing at crowds.

-He doesn't know anyone in the crowd!

-I don't know what to say

-about the man.

-I like him.

-I think he's fantastic.

-I think he's like Hitler.

-We're going to have another war

-between North Korea and America.

-I really believe that.

-Trump's in his back yard.

-What do you call him?

-You say it better than me.

-Kim Jong-Un.

-It makes him sound like a Thai soup.

-I went to America and they asked

-if I'd heard of Trump.

-I said, "Yes, of course I have."

-They said, "We are so sorry.

-"We are so embarrassed

-that he is our president."

-I like him.

-He just does what he wants to do.

-He's a character

-and he's not politically correct.

-He's off his head.

-It's like watching a soap opera.

-There was more horrific news from

-America at the start of the week.

-It's so easy to buy a gun

-in America. That's the problem.

-It's like us

-buying a tin of beans in Tesco.

-You can walk into a shop

-and buy a gun.

-Their gun laws are so relaxed,

-so relaxed.

-There are constant shootings there.

-I heard this morning on the news.

-They said it's nothing new that

-this many people have been shot.

-They won't change the gun laws.

-It's like a religion in America.

-It's big business.

-It brings a lot of money in.

-It's high time they did something

-with all these guns.

-That president is no help at all.

-He wants to keep them.

-He's off his head.

-These are difficult times

-for politicians...

-..on this side of the Atlantic

-with allegations against London MPs.

-Have you heard about

-the MPs scandal, Margaret?

-What do you think of them?

-Well, it's awful really.

-A lot of women are making complaints

-- where have they been until now?

-The older generation of women...

-..they wouldn't have known

-what to do years ago.

-I think that young women today,

-they're more opinionated.

-They could sort out the MPs.

-It's just selling newspapers at the

-moment. It's gone way over the top.

-You know what they say,

-there's no smoke without fire.

-Do you trust your MP?

-Do you trust your MP?

-

-Who is it?

-I don't know either.

-I don't know either.

-

-No idea.

-On the subject

-of being politically correct...

-..the words of some nursery

-rhymes aren't suitable any more.

-In general, children don't learn

-and sing nursery rhymes...

-..like they used to.

-I have daughters and grandchildren.

-I can't remember them

-being taught nursery rhymes.

-When you say

-black sheep of the family...

-..our generation

-know what that means.

-When you're three or four,

-you don't know what that means.

-You think it's a song.

-I did them all with my children.

-Humpty Dumpty...

-..sat on a wall,

-Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

-All the king's horses

-and all the king's men...

-..couldn't put Humpty

-together again.

-Hickory dickory dock.

-The snake went up the clock.

-Well, you know,

-it rhymed so it was fine.

-But now, you wouldn't

-teach your child that.

-Hickory dickory dock.

-The snake ran down the clock.

-You know?

-Wee Willy Winkie

-ran through the town.

-Upstairs and downstairs

-in his nightgown.

-Looking through the keyhole,

-crying at the lock.

-Are the children in their bed?

-It's past eight o'clock.

-Jack and Jill. It needs to be

-Jack and Jack. Jack and Jake.

-Jill and Janet. Jill and Jane.

-Because now...

-No-one knows them now.

-The mothers are looking

-at the blinkin' Facebook.

-They say that people

-between the ages of 16 and 24...

-..they don't talk because they're

-texting, they live on their phones.

-In our house, for example...

-..three children,

-myself and my wife...

-..at times, we're all sat down

-staring at a screen.

-There's no conversation at all.

-Before now, I've had my son

-text me from upstairs...

-..asking me to bring him a drink.

-Sending me a text -

-not shouting downstairs.

-He sent me a text.

-It's our fault.

-We buy them the phones.

-We buy the Xbox, we buy everything.

-And then we're like...

-They're on them constantly.

-No-one talks at home,

-we don't gather at the supper table.

-When do people talk?

-It's quite sad.

-In YFC, every Monday night...

-..the youngsters are Snapchatting

-on their phones.

-They're all in the same room.

-They're Snapchatting

-and on Facebook Messenger.

-Ask them to do

-some public speaking...

-..a really good skill

-for the future...

-..a necessary skill if you want

-a good job, great for confidence...

-..they're like,

-"No way, I'm not doing it."

-Oh, my God. Why? Why? They're

-missing out on social skills.

-They don't say a thing.

-They're just like this.

-I look at them. Instead of talking,

-they send things to each other.

-If I say something, they swish swish

-swish and then there's a loud laugh.

-"He said something funny."

-The wi-fi wasn't working.

-Oh, my God. They went mad.

-"Wi-fi! There's no wi-fi.

-We need wi-fi!"

-I never phone, I text. Every time.

-It's sad.

-We go out for food

-and we're all on our phones.

-It's such a pity.

-Texts are handy,

-say if I'm stuck on the A55...

-..and I'm expected to be home.

-Or when I'm shopping in town

-and I receive a text.

-"Will you buy some tomatoes too."

-When you text someone,

-they can read it the wrong way.

-If you're on the phone,

-you know exactly how someone feels.

-It's the tone of voice.

-When we were children,

-we'd phone or meet up.

-These days, it's a different age.

-I remember when we were young,

-you'd head to town...

-..if your mates weren't on Wal Hwrs,

-if they weren't there...

-..they were outside the youth club.

-If they weren't there,

-you'd just go home.

-With the youngsters,

-if they have problems...

-..the problems become worse

-because they can't talk about it.

-They don't know how to deal with it.

-The world's becoming quieter.

-You're right.

-No matter where you are,

-everyone's checking their phones.

-That's true enough.

-They don't talk to you.

-There was a report this week

-claiming that men, on average...

-..spent a year of their lives

-in the bathroom.

-A year? 365 days?

-A year!

-A year!

-

-Never, never, no.

-Depends what I've eaten.

-In and out, Margaret. How about you?

-In, out, job done.

-I get up in the morning,

-I make myself some toast.

-I go for a walk. I shout up

-to Anwen, "Anwen, ready?"

-I've had a shave and a sh...

-and a wash this morning.

-You had a wash too?

-Under the armpits!

-Lovely.

-I make all my big decisions

-in the bathroom.

-On the toilet, making big decisions.

-Some people go to yoga,

-I go to the toilet.

-Simple.

-Are you in there long?

-Yes. Just to get

-some peace and quiet.

-You're just standing there...?

-Reading, on my phone.

-Checking the news on the phone.

-Apps, YouTube. I'll take

-a magazine like Farmers Weekly.

-Really?

-We have FaceTime every Sunday

-morning to discuss the night before.

-You and Carys?

-She has FaceTime with me

-from there too.

-She'll say, "Oh, I just farted."

-I do!

-These days, a lot of people

-have hot tubs in their bathrooms.

-I think that's why they're there

-for a year.

-Do they have hot tubs?

-Do they have hot tubs?

-

-In bathrooms.

-All kinds of things

-happen in bathrooms.

-I was at the Tregaron Races and I

-was enjoying myself with the girls.

-I went to the toilet, a Portaloo,

-to do my business.

-As I pulled my trousers up...

-..I could hear this fight going on.

-One lad hit the Portaloo with such

-a force the Portaloo toppled over.

-Carys went down with it.

-I was drenched.

-I haven't been back to a Portaloo

-ever since.

-In the caravan,

-I sit on the toilet...

-..shave and brush my teeth

-at the same time.

-They say men can't multi-task.

-You can.

-Do you read a newspaper?

-I read a newspaper

-and then I use it in the toilet...

-..when I'm done!

-The Daily Post and the Western Mail

-are the best.

-It's thin, soft paper.

-I don't like the Telegraph.

-It shines. Good for nothing.

-He's there for hours.

-He's there for hours.

-

-He doesn't know how to text.

-Sorry!

-It's time for a bathroom break.

-We're back after the break

-to chew the cud.

-No way.

-We'll have to

-tread carefully though.

-Oh, my God. Almost bloody fell.

-Hello, 3N Gwallt.

-It's been a busy week in the salon.

-This group of cooks from Port

-Talbot won't have to work again...

-..after scooping 25m

-on the Lottery.

-Did you hear about those women

-from Neath? They won 25m.

-A syndicate.

-A syndicate.

-

-A syndicate. Fantastic.

-Do you do the Lottery?

-I've never bought a lottery ticket.

-Never?

-Never?

-

-No.

-I do the Euro Lottery if it's

-a big rollover. 50m+ or 100m.

-The only thing that money does,

-it gives you a sense of freedom...

-..security, really...

-..but it doesn't make you happy.

-You have to be happy in yourself.

-My sister, years ago,

-do you know Haf...

-..she actually didn't try

-the Lottery, that's the point...

-..the children were young...

-..and she'd chosen

-her six numbers...

-..and she was going to buy a ticket

-from Smiths...

-..but because the kids

-were screaming, she didn't go.

-The numbers came up.

-Oh, no.

-One of my customers,

-I was cutting her hair...

-..and she invited me up for tea.

-She'd bought a new caravan.

-She had a win on the Lottery.

-I haven't been up for tea yet.

-Her caravan is stunning,

-I've seen photos.

-She bought a caravan?

-She tipped me 2.

-Are you serious?

-I'm working in the Elan Valley

-on a lottery project...

-..which is about to begin.

-We've had 1.8m there.

-Do you know what? It's just unreal

-to think what you would do with it.

-I don't like boats but I'd still

-buy a yacht because I could.

-Not that you need a yacht

-but because you can.

-I'd spend it just like that.

-On what?

-On what?

-

-Concrete. And sheds.

-Concrete? And sheds?

-I'd buy a yacht, a posh yacht.

-Diamonds for sure.

-Diamonds for sure.

-

-Nose job.

-A cruise around the world.

-You're retiring next year.

-But I haven't won the Lottery.

-You might have.

-You might have.

-

-I could buy Cardigan Castle!

-A chance to live like a king.

-You'd think that the Queen

-would have a few quid.

-It became apparent that Her Majesty

-and some familiar faces...

-..had stashed their cash

-in the Caymans...

-..where tax rules are more relaxed.

-Do you have an offshore account?

-Do you have an offshore account?

-

-Yes, several.

-Have you heard about this tax thing

-with Lewis Hamilton and the Queen?

-That's naughty.

-It's disgraceful.

-To be honest, it's disgraceful.

-The Queen for starters. I don't

-think she knows what's going on.

-Having said that, the people

-who advise her, who are they?

-They all have an account

-in the Caymans.

-The Queen's such a great money

-launderer, her face is on the notes!

-She can get away with it.

-Miss Queenie. Someone's hidden

-the Queen's money abroad.

-Good thinking, I say.

-I give my money to my missus.

-That's it,

-I don't see it after that.

-The missus is your Cayman Islands.

-Once I give it to the missus,

-there you go, that's it, mate.

-Lewis Hamilton earns more money

-than he'll ever spend.

-He's trying to avoid paying VAT.

-He got 3.3m back

-for his helicopter.

-That's VAT.

-He bought a helicopter

-for so much.

-Obviously there was VAT

-to pay for it.

-He's claimed 3.3m back in VAT

-for the helicopter.

-How many nurses would that pay for?

-It's disgraceful.

-During Children In Need, people

-donate money they can't afford.

-Rich people don't lift a finger to

-help the country. It makes me angry.

-Hey, what I heard last week,

-that woman's stashed millions away.

-She says she didn't know.

-Of course she knew.

-Her and that duke have been spending

-money and they make great profits.

-I was in Halen Mon three weeks ago -

-do you know where that is?

-They get salt from the Menai...

-..and they have to pay a tax

-to the Queen...

-..for every gallon of water

-that comes in from the river...

-..because she owns the river.

-She gets everything.

-That money ends up in the Cayman

-Islands and she pays no tax on it.

-She's there parading in her bikini.

-Does she still wear a bikini?

-It's Remembrance Sunday

-this weekend.

-An opportunity to pay tribute

-to those who died in battle.

-Are you going to the hall

-for Remembrance Sunday?

-I don't go to the hall,

-I go up to Bont, to the memorial.

-We have a service next

-to the memorial on Sunday morning.

-Really, Margaret?

-Every Remembrance Sunday, 10.45am.

-We're all ready by 11.00am then.

-It's very important for the men

-and women who gave their lives...

-..to make sure we were free.

-It's really important to remember.

-People sacrificed their lives

-to give us freedom today.

-That's what I think.

-People will remember that.

-Definitely.

-Will you attend poppy day?

-Will you attend poppy day?

-

-Definite.

-Definite. Every year.

-I have two brothers in the Army.

-Some people say

-that the country does too much...

-..about the... because they...

-Without them,

-we'd be speaking German.

-Yeah.

-If they hadn't, you know...

-If they hadn't, you know...

-

-If we hadn't won.

-The world would be

-a different place.

-I'm against war.

-Someone with half a brain

-shouldn't want war.

-At the end of the day,

-you're killing people.

-No-one wants that.

-But if someone attacks you...

-..it's fantastic to have

-someone there to stand up for us...

-..to allow us to live as we do now.

-Remembrance Sunday

-is close to my heart.

-I lost my brother

-on Remembrance Sunday.

-Eleventh of the eleventh.

-I remember it, I celebrate it.

-We remember him.

-It wasn't linked to war.

-I think everyone should support...

-Yeah, it's a good cause.

-I didn't realise it was on that day.

-Eleventh of the eleventh.

-It was eleven minutes past eleven.

-Crazy. Yes, I know.

-I've visited Hedd Wyn's home,

-Yr Ysgwrn in Traws.

-What I noticed,

-we talk about Hedd Wyn...

-..but around 30 lads from Traws

-were killed during that war.

-Lads from Llanberis died.

-Villages lost half their men.

-Another event is being held

-this weekend.

-The Cerdd Dant Festival

-is in Llandysul.

-Is it everyone's cup of tea?

-Ooh, are you going

-to the dancing dance festival?

-The Cerdd Dant Festival?

-No. I do go sometimes.

-I wasn't allowed

-in the cerdd dant party at school.

-That's probably because

-I didn't understand what it was.

-I didn't realise that the Cerdd Dant

-Festival was in Llandysul.

-I didn't know it was a thing.

-You know what cerdd dant is.

-You know what cerdd dant is.

-

-Yes. Ffa-la-la, ffa-la-la.

-It's like singing.

-There's a lot

-of harp playing involved.

-I remember Ryan Davies,

-Ryan a Ronnie.

-He sang cerdd dant

-on telly years ago.

-Mam liked Ryan.

-Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.

-# Thirteen ships set sail to sea

-# Early one morning from the quay

-Is the harp a piano? Or this?

-No, the grand harp with strings.

-Like the one I have.

-So it's not a piano. Clever.

-It's like Marmite.

-You either like it or you don't.

-I liked singing in the choir.

-If you couldn't sing,

-you'd hide at the back.

-I hid in the back.

-The harp plays a tune.

-That's not what you sing.

-You sing a very different tune.

-# Captain of this brave old fleet

-# Away he goes to set foot

-# On a land that man has never seen

-It's good.

-It's important to keep it going.

-It's not the same as singing hymns.

-It's the same style.

-No. You know the harp?

-Am I right here?

-It's like singing off tune

-to the music.

-I'm not sure. I'm...

-I don't know a lot about it,

-to be honest.

-I did 23 years of cerdd dant

-in Ysgol Twm O'r Nant.

-Leah Owen was there,

-Eirlys Dwyryd, Gwyneth Ann Roberts.

-They spoke in cerdd dant!

-In cerdd dant, you wear a long,

-frilly Laura Ashley dress...

-..and you go around the school...

-# Duh, duh #

-The harp follows you around

-playing a different tune.

-# See old Madog brave his chest

-# As captain of the ship is dressed

-# Go he is to put his foot

-# Where never before a foot was put

-# This is a venture very brave

-# And God will hold him

-from wave to wave #

-And on that note, we'll bid you

-farewell for another week.

-Goodnight.
