He was looking out for you and giving you an excuse to get down the boozer?

No excuse needed lol, dog was happy with the impromptu visit though

Took the dog for a walk and competed a full lap of the park - just about 1.5 miles and he decides he wants to crap in the middle of the main road

No. Wales is part of the U.K. The language of the U.K is English.
Road signs , being instructions/advice re the Law need to be in the authorised language.
Having them also in Welsh is an indulgence, a waste of time and money.

To be consistent, surely the road signs around Bradford should be in Urdu as well as English?
Doing it for the Welsh and not the Asian community smacks of racism.
I think I shall decide to be offended on their behalf.

Pointless thread responses:

Anyone got xxxxxxx, reviews please?
I haven’t got one but I have something else.

How many balls do you hit at the range?
i don’t go to the range

Are posters so desperate to be heard and keep their post count up?

Save that offended feeling for another day (maybe St George’s day ?)…..

Weather forecasts.

Checked the weather app on my phone as I want to play golf tonight and it was showing sunshine so I booked for 6pm.

While making a coffee the weather flashed up on my alexa and it’s saying I need to build an arc!

How many people who speak Welsh do not speak English?
Does anyone here know someone who speaks and reads Welsh but not English?

Exactly!

I think my grandmother might have known a few - but that was over a hundred years ago.

This exchange of views has been interesting. I don't think anyone has been "wrong" to hold the view that they hold with regard to road signs in Wales being in Welsh as well as English.

There will always be an issue for those who view Wales, the Welsh and their language as something of "the other" people.

The Welsh language is part of English heritage. Around the time of the Roman invasion the language in England would have been similar to Welsh. Versions of this language persisted in places like Cornwall and Cumbria for some more centuries, but remains alive and well in Wales. It is an ancient language of England and should be embraced and celebrated by English people as part of the history and heritage of England.
What language did Boudicca speak? I think a modern-day Welsh speaker might be able to have some sort of conversation with her, but English would be an incomprehensible foreign language to that celebrated English heroine.

I'm happy for the Welsh to have their language and their road signs. "Others" are entitled to their view as well.

At the risk of being a bit of a foxholer (where is he by the way) that's a transliteration and not a translation.

We already have a deputy PM, Dominic Raab, or the runner up in the leadership contest could step in.

Anyway, there is no worry of a plane crashing if they don't take one. Do it online. No reason why not.

Agree with the last paragraph. But if they are going to fly anywhere in that unique few hours, my point is still valid, I believe.

I understand but I would equally reply with my top line still. There are other people who could step in without everything collapsing, no hysteria. I don't think we are as people / office dependent as say the US is. That is opinion however, no issue if you don't agree with that.

I believe that he is no longer welcome on this Forum. I must admit that I hadn't noticed as I had him on ignore.
