Mari Lwyd

The Welsh not may have stigmatised language, but also highlighted how policy could erode identity.

The Mari Lwyd and Morris dancers show that while the war threatened to erase customs, folk practices persisted, sometimes revived in post-war celebration.

So when we talk about weapons like sticky grenades or blacker bombards, we're seeing a side of civilian defences that filled gaps left by regular forces.

These improvised munitions were produced en masse because the Blitz had forced a rethink of how ordinary citizens could engage with enemy armoured vehicles.

Okay.

And, um, and I, I spent a lot of time looking at like pictures of like, there's like a traditional Welsh puppet called the Mari Lwyd.

They bring around at Christmas time, and they like bring this horse skull on a stick to your door, and they knock on your door, and you have to rhyme at this undead horse.

And if you can do like a rhyme battle with an undead horse, or it gets to come in and crash your party and eat your food.
