‘LAND OF MY FATHERS? MY FATHERS CAN KEEP IT! Wales didn’t care much for Dylan Thomas, and the feeling was often mutual.’ This was the headline from an article in the Sunday Times from 2014. The irony of this is that Dylan didn’t even say those words. It was actually the cantankerous and unpleasant character Owen Morgan-Vaughan from Dylan’s screenplay, ‘Three Weird Sisters’ that uttered those famous (or should it be infamous?) words that seemed to have set an unfortunate trend – a common opinion that DT hated Wales.

Why do you come down so hard on five year old lemonade entrepreneurs?

Got to nip this sort of thing in the bud...
Lemonade's a gateway drink, pretty soon it will be orangina, dandelion&burdock and <gasp> red bull. Neighbourhood will go to the dogs, shell suits, pizza mopeds and loud arguements about which home-and-away tart's got the biggest tits.
You mark my words, 'cos that's what'll happen.

Strangely enough I heard that Ivanka Trump wrote in her autobiography (or guide for the modern woman, or whatever the balls it is) that she wanted to sell lemonade when she was a kid to make pocket money or build her empire etc. However, because she was surrounded by bouncers and lived in an ivory tower, she had no-one to sell it to. But, the entrepreneurial flame cannot be dimmed, so she sold it to her cooks, nannies, bodyguards etc. At what cost and at what coercion, I'm not sure.

She gave this as an example of how she had to struggle to make it to the top, given the disadvantages she suffered. And, I guess, when life gives you lemons, force your staff to buy lemonade from you or you'll have them beaten.

My question for our British friends is, aren't you embarrassed by that tool Piers Morgan?
