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".

Speaking Welsh is truly a burden.

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.
