Seeing those square QR codes everywhere could get a little ugly.

What an ingenious idea! This way, tourists can also learn about the place too!

If Henry V was born in Wales then he must be Welsh, surely.

The England / Wales border has changed many times over the last 1000 years. Monmouth has been both English and Welsh, depending on the time period.

When my ex-girlfriend's grandmother went into labour with her son, her Welsh husband drove her past several suitable hospitals in Monmouthshire because it wasn't a Welsh enough area for his child to be born into. Even though it was at the time, and still is, Welsh.

You know, when I read the headline I thought 'What a load of old bandwagon-hopping bollocks this is going to be'. But having read the article, I'm forced to admit that it's a pretty good idea. I just hate it when other people are right...

Cool concept. Many tourist areas could benefit through lower tourist publication costs since they wouldn't need as many print materials/flyers at tourist sites. Could definitely enhance the experience.

Now they just need to track the hits per geoloc so that they can put the right merchandising items in said spot.

Hey, I got a QR Code tatoo on my lower back now.
Wanna scan me ?


Just a joke of course, but only a question of time that someone will put one on his/her body.

They really need to do something similar for red light districts. Scan the QR code and get a free lapdance.

"Oh gramps stop living in the 80s!" LOL

If everyone shares the stories of their local area, we'll have a much clearer understanding of the world we live in and that's a powerful thing.

Hah.

Have a return address in the QR code for when you have been drinking...

It's all a matter of perspective - as the first Duke of Wellington reputedly said in regard to being born in Ireland, and therefore Irish, "Just because one was born in a stable doesn't make one a horse" - or, possibly, of being in a powerful enough position to have the luxury of ignoring the "accident" of your birthplace..
