    Re: The Welsh

    When I was in Wales a few weeks back most of the locals were engaged in the national pass-times of sitting on pavements, digging holes and then looking into them, and pointing at moving vehicles ('iron donkeys' to use the Welsh term).
    I don't live here any more.

    Football fans at a FA Cup tie between Oldham and Chasetown - two English teams - in 2005 were left scratching their heads after a Welsh-language hoarding was put up along the pitch. It should have gone to a match in Merthyr Tydfil.

    That's not Welsh. It's like Korean or something.

    It's probably Mongolian. In any case they both need to buy a vowel.

    Or worse. Getting the English grammar wrong is one thing, but that's a mish-mash of multiple languages or multiple spellings.

    Welsh "speakers" HA! none can speak the gobblety goo on the bottom of that sign! It's just pretend!

    Fortunately for me, Welsh is a tasty grape juice for me, and not a peoples.

    Re: The Welsh

    Refering back to the origin of this thread.

    The council emailed their In-House translation service.
    I am wondering why the translation service could get away without having
    their out of office message in both English and Welsh

    It is either that or someone did not read the complete reply.

    Delete it. They just clutter threads anyway.
