Facebook manages to do what the English couldn’t properly do for 1000 years

Facebook has upset the Welsh by placing a range of Welsh towns in England, including the Welsh capital Cardiff.

Towns that have mysteriously found themselves in England and not Wales include Swansea, Wrexham and Llandrindod Wells, according to the BBC . Over 8,000 Welsh Facebook users (or is that English Facebook users) signed a petition calling on Facebook to move the border back to its historic location in the East.

Facebook has called bug, and promised to rectify the issue.

Wales, located to the North West of England in the United Kingdom, has long been in union with England, having been conquered in the 13th century as part of the Anglo-Norman conquests, and was incorporated as a single entity with England in the 15th century. In more modern times, Wales has been recognized as an entity within the United Kingdom, and has a limited form of self government. Notably, Welsh culture is very distinct from England, and includes its own language, and a Celtic blood line vs the Saxon bloodline most common in England.
