And don’t forget the tax is Per Person Per day. Personally I have no problem with Councils from whichever country charging a Tourist Tax. If I want to go to a certain place I’m not going to let that stop me going there.
One explanation of the increase in traffic is working patterns. When you were 18, possibly, people worked at big centres near their villages, the mines and steel works etc

They closed them down and now a lot of people have to drive to get to their out of town Amazon fulfilment unit.
Tourists tax won’t make any difference to those patterns.
Holding my breath to hear that you’re only 23 now
We are actually gonna try the train next time we visit my parents. 2 adults 2 kids and dog. It’s takes so long in recent years to get to south wales from east London by Car and it’s very expensive with the price of fuel.
Yes but the weather is generally better ....
I toyed with buying a house in Wales. It was then I became aware how insular and unfriendly they actually are to English people. So very unhealthy in my opinion. I gave up on the idea but might visit in my 6.1 but Ireland seems more friendly.

Wales, once again, making everyone feel welcome.
Making generalisations about three million people is a little odd.
I have no chip but welsh estate agents are welsh. Not straightforward or helpful. But I only met one.
Yes estate agents have a lot to answer for!
So going from the total Welsh population being unfriendly and insular to Welsh estate agents seems to be backtracking a bit far. I have lived in Wales for 43 years. My wife is Welsh so are my Children and Grandchildren. My in-laws who were Welsh through and through were the nicest people you could ever wish to meet.

The old route (pre Severn Bridge) took us along the A40 from Uxbridge through most town centres on route. Then after Gloucester it was a slog through Newport, Cardiff and Port Talbot eventually arriving at Pontarddulais. I seem to remember it taking 10 hours once in my Dad’s old Morris 10.
Thats a bit mean Pete.

Still, it was worth it. Those childhood holidays on the Gower were fantastic. Especially with a Joe’s Ice Cream at the end of the day.
