Speaking to BBC Radio Wales Breakfast, Jemma said "my flabber had never been so gasted".

Amazing

I don't understand. It's there a Welsh stereotype in not aware of?

The only ones that come to mind are the incomprehensible language and their alleged fondness for sheep. Neither seems relevant here.

Fyi, apparently the sheep thing was a quirk of the law. Most sheep were owned by English nobles. Steeling a sheep was summery execution by hanging from the nearest tree. However, carnal relations with it were dealt with by the church (with a mostly Welsh clergy).

I'll leave it to the reader to figure out why the English landowners caught an unsettling number of Welshman admitting to trying to shag sheep.

Fascinating!

They even get left out of those old a Scotsman, an Englishman, and an Irishman jokes. Though that's probably for the best

I can't see Welsh being a protected characteristic. They have lots of castels and a dragon. What more protection do they need.

And they speak in old elvish for fun

Fun fact: one of the elvish languages (yes, there are multiple languages called Elvish in the LOTR universe), Sindarin, is actually heavily inspired by welsh so (the other one, Quenya, is based off Finnish)

Don't blame them, can't even spell Whales correctly

They should complain to the Prince of Whales.

That picture is horrible. What happened to it? They surely do not have differently colored skin patches.

It's definitely just some compression fuckery. The original isn't great quality but the hard transitions from one colour to another clearly aren't there https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gz2lln7pro
