Anyone here speak Welsh?

They apparently will start taking cards shortly.

One cannot rush these things you know.

The first bridge opened in 1966 ( at 2/6d toll) and credit cards have only been around for 40 odd years.

Though they did manage to setup the card transaction thingie temporarily for the golf not long ago.

It gets better, if you want to buy an automatic TAG you have to download an application form, print it off and return it in the post with a cheque.

Bloody French.

I was having a chat with one of the chaps here who reckons that Welsh is the best language to use for high speed verbal communication because the way sentences are constructed as verb-subject-object is similar to the way in which the human brain interprets language.

But what the **** would he know, he's Welsh!

I was told that it's a very good language for bitchy insults.

Dim problem

Apart from the Taffia of course.

All busily sending their kiddies to be ejumakated yng Nghymraeg.

My son goes to Welsh language school. Dont think I'm Taffia !!!!!

But I dont live in Cardiff - not far though.

i'm going M1, M42 (I think) M5, M50 via Monmouth - I just love those tunnels!

I've worked in Wales before, did a year or so in Prestatyn, a few weeks on site in Aberystwyth and a month or so in Carmarthen. Even the Anglos had to answer the phone in Welsh, first introduction only, off a card in phonetics....

I've got an O level in Welsh.

Ever so useful that's been, I can tell you.

No, was a company that made fall-arrest equipment, a plc but the smallest plc I ever worked for.

I was doing accounting systems then, Sage, 1993 ish. All running on Novell 2.something and Mac lappies. I've streeviewed the place now, it's gone.

I used to come off the A55 over this big mountain through a place called Gwynesgor or something like that, then down a 1 in 5 twisty road, so steep you could feel the car brakes heating up and losing efficiency, mint!

£25 an hour in '93, not bad! Part time tho, had another contract at the time, all direct, I didn't realise there was a contracting industry back then. I know it was there now with hindsight, but at the time I was clueless but probably doing better than I am now....
