That part really rings true for me, since I grew up in Wales West. ;) You know the joke about early immigrants to the US having been on the boat so long they stopped at the first place they got to that looked like home? Forgetting why they left home in the first place.... West Virginia and parts of Kentucky and Pennsylvania are like that, they got the miners leaving Wales. I grew up with the kids of coal miners, and Spousal Unit's father still works in the coal industry, though in sales. It just makes Ianto more adorable to me. :)
