Really interesting quiz! Doonhamer and Buddie were both new to me. Thanks for making this :)

Trying to think whether I know of any local demonyms from my area. I know of "Cofi" (a person from Caernarfon) from North Wales but I can't think of any comparative terms from West Wales (other than Swansea Jack).
