Welsh people love folklore. Dragons and beasts and decapitating English jerks.
Bridgend is not like most Welsh towns, though.
The legend goes that none other than the most batshit Pope Caligula visited the south Wales town shortly before his fall. He was partial to a cucumber sandwich, and only had four people murdered for looking at him funny, a record at the time for a visit from the bizarre God botherer.
It is also rumoured that he temporarily ruined the beer supply by having all 45 of his travelling horses piss in the reservoir.
Though this story is far-fetched, every year men from the town celebrate the legend by dressing up in pantomime horse costumes and pissing in the pints of unsuspecting local drinkers.
