The welsh are trying to kill us again

(as far as possible) local firms and labour (even if the main contractor comes from over the border) - unlike the English mob who want to use cheap foreign labour and outsource/or sell everything in sight!

[geoff]

Nobody actually made us an offer for wales

[Woodworm]

Well we don't sell the family silver just to make a few bob - the English just come in and take it!

Or maybe the other way around. The article doesn't say which version was correct and I would think it more likely that it was put up by someone who doesn't speak Welsh than by someone who doesn't speak English.

There is a picture somewhere of a sign where the Welsh version says: "The recipient will respond to your e-mail when they return from holiday". No prizes for working out how that happened.

For quite some time (supposedly anyway), Ordnance Survey had a lot of Welsh farm names on their maps that when translated all read "Beware of the dog".

I notice that the Welsh always put the signs in English when they wish to extract money!

Speaking Welsh is truly a burden.

"Gwesty" is more often translated as "hotel" rather than "guest house", but I've seen it on plenty of signs.

I thought that was Gaelic...

Welsh speakers are not known as Gogs. Gog is a mildy pejorative term for someone from North Wales, it is an abbreviation of gogledd, meaning north.

Also there are plenty of Welsh speakers in South Wales, from Swansea and westwards. Cardiff and Newport (i.e. South East Wales) don't have a lot of Welsh speakers.

What about Flint?

Careful English guy at Swansea University arrested over racist marks on twitter about the football player who had heart attack.

Seems absurd to me ...

Hook handed one eyed bomb making racist (Abu Hamza al-Masri) can stand up in public and preach death, and encourage killing and get away with it, usual reverse racism ...
