Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six
days. Eventually, Archangel Michael found him on the seventh day
resting. He enquired of God, 'Where have you been?'

God pointed downwards through the clouds. Archangel Michael looked
puzzled and said, 'What is it?'

'It's a planet,' replied God, 'and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to
call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance.'

'Balance?' inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing down to different parts of the Earth. 'For
example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth,
while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there
will be a hot spot, and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've
placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of
black people.'

God continued, pointing to the different countries.

This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very
cold and covered in ice.'

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to another area of
land and asked, 'What's that?'

'Ah,' said God. That's Conwy in the North of Wales, the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful people, and many impressive towns; it is the home of the
world's finest artists, musicians, writers, thinkers, explorers and
politicians. The people from North Wales are going to be
modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found
travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and
high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as speakers
of truth.'

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, 'What
about balance God, you said there will be BALANCE!'

God replied very wisely, 'Wait till you see the bunch of tossers I'm
putting down South
No offence to Southerners, It's only a joke!
