History
Lord Mayor of Cardiff "Margaret Blaine" was aware of the "notorious divide" between North and South Wales, joking in September 2006 that she had no desire to re-open it in light of Blaidd Drwg. She did point out that, although Trawsfynydd had been mothballed, North Wales still had Wylfa, so a nuclear power station in Cardiff would "[make] the score one-all!"

The iron constituting one guerilla's ray gun was originally mined in North Wales. (TV: Day of the Daleks)
