It did, I remember as kid going there on a Miners Welfare day out

I thought they'd stopped sending kids down the mines by the time you were born

Similarly, I learned an elaborate way of telling people (in French obviously) that I can't speak French, which always gets a weird look :)  I say 'elaborate'.  I basically added 'malheureusement' (unfortunately) to the start of the normal sentence.

He lives on an Island called Barry (even though it's not an island, we just tell them that to keep them from escaping)

Just because somebody filled in the gap with three roads a housing estate and an Asda it doesn’t stop being an island.

worst colour coding ever

You say that but until I saw that very picture I thought Denmark was just the bit that stuck up out of Germany.  I never knew there was an island next to it.  Turns out Copenhagen is on it too.  Mind blown.

My first snog ever was on Barry Island. We were also inside a wardrobe strangely enough.

True story.
