[Bryn-gwlad] Celebrating Welshness

[Samantha Smith]

And THAT reminds me of one of the more entertaining and slightly surreal
experiences I've had in the last year.

Last December, while catching one of the last subway trains to Scarborough
(visiting Toronto in early December really isn't THAT frightening), a pile
of half a dozen young men dashed onto the car in the middle of singing this
very song. Some might say they were the worse for drink; given their fine
voices and cheerful expressions I should say they were the better for it. We
applauded them when they finished, to which they gave us big grins, laughed,
and gave quick bows before dashing right back off the train at the next
stop.
