I reckon South Africa held the Rugby World Cup when the first traffic cone was placed up there.) Meanwhile, the only thing I can see doubling in infrastructure terms is the number of road cones on the Brynderwyns. We've just seen earnings from tourism go past earnings from dairy farming for the first time.
