    As far as I'm aware the last person* to sprechen sie Cymraeg was my great grandmother who came from across the water in Cadoxton, though my great aunt had a sprinkling.

    I have an "O" level in it which would just about have allowed me to read Y Banner ac Amserau Cymru back in the day had the fancy taken me.

    There was exactly one Welsh speaker in the class, from a long way up the valley.

    You don't have to go much further west from Pontardawe to find much more Welsh spoken.

    The stuff I learned was taught was very much academic Welsh.

    I recalled the trauma of the spoken language part of the GCE only the other day for some reason.

    Then again I haven't been called "wus" for decades, it seems to have disappeared from common parlance.


    *Well aside from my dear nephew who went on some sort of Sprechen sie Cymraeg course up in North Wales 10 or 15 years ago. For some reason. Probably to give his parents some peace for a while.

      When my parents moved to Anglesey, Mater took Welsh lessons - took to it like the proverbial Duck-to-water apparently. Got certificates and everyfing!

      The owner of the "local" shop in Rhosneigr used to change to speaking Welsh for the first couple of years during my visits until I told her to refrain from that kind of behaviour as I wasn't a bloody tourist.

                    lets see if you can find racism and politics in this one, by whatever perverted means.
