MY WIFE IS FROM WALES

MARTYN WILLIAMS FROM CARMARTHEN,

SOUTH WALES, WAS VISITING LONDON

FOR THE FIRST TIME.

HE REALLY WANTED TO BUY A HAT

AND THE ONE HE CHOSE WAS PRICED AT £20.

MARTYN SPOKE TO THE SHOP ASSISTANT,

“BACK HOME IN CARMARTHEN I

COULD GET A HAT LIKE THIS FOR ONLY £5.”

THE ASSISTANT ANSWERED,

“WELL, SIR, THE THING IS WE HAVE A

LARGE SHOP WINDOW HERE,

OFTEN IN THE SUN,

AND WHEN THE HATS FADE WE SEND

THEM TO PLACES LIKE CARMARTHEN.

BY THE WAY MY WIFE COMES FROM CARMARTHEN.

YOU MAY HAVE KNOWN HER. 

SHE WAS BLODWYN THOMAS,

WHO LIVED AT THE BAKERY.”

“YES, I KNOW HER, BOYO,”

REPLIED MARTYN SMILING.

“SHE WAS VERY PRETTY.

I TOOK HER OUT MANY A TIME.

BUT YOU KNOW,

WHEN THINGS GET A BIT FADED IN

CARMARTHEN WE SEND THEM TO LONDON.”
