Britannia and the Sheep jokes

Today I will bring a lot of useless stuff for you. The summary is how Britannia (England) used sheep jokes against the Welsh people.


First thing first What's Britannia?

Britannia is another name for England (not UK, UK comprises of England, Scotland and Whales ). The name Britannia comes from Britons which later became British. Britons are different from Saxons (as in Anglo Saxons).













Sheep Jokes are jokes in which we make fun of people of making out with Sheep hopefully with a pretty bow.



"An old Sheppard wanted to make a large mansion on his farm. He brings a famous architect who surveys his property, the old Sheppard say do whatever you want but don't cut down those two trees. The architect asks why? The man says that is a tree where I became a man, the architect respects his wishes and asks what about that one. The man replies, her mother saw us when I was becoming a man. Shocked the architect, says What did she say? The man says what else Bhaaa"
