    Severn.

    "Bore da" is good day, I think.

      And "Nos da" is good night (again, I think). I was taught Welsh in school - it's a bit of a nightmare compared to French, German etc.

        That is one niche I hadn’t thought about exploring, forget CCNA, Prince2, and ITIL, just learn Welsh and get security cleared…. BOOMED!!

          Just say "yakki da", tell them you speak Welsh and get the gig.

          You can absolutely bet your last penny that when you get on site everyone will be speaking English. Meanwhile, to be sure, take a crash audio course from Pimsleur. Seriously, you are a contractor and learning a little Welsh is not that hard.

            Alternativvly get ZG to front for you at the interview. If he gets you the gig he can eat the pimp as a bonus

              Unless it is in Anglesey. In which case, you'll be in for a surprise.

                  Or anywhere in North Wales/Lleyn(sp?) Peninsula, Welsh is quite commonly used there these days.
                  I didn't think its extensive use had spread to the Gower and other bits of South Wales, but since the Welsh Assembly came about I'm not surprised that the Welsh language facism has spread.
