The Welsh word for ladder is the same as the word for skool.

Isn't that a bit confusing, like?

Both words are "ysgol".



So ladder skool is "ysgol ysgol" or some such.

[Doggy Styles]

The English word for those living west of Offa's dyke is the same as the word for reneging on a deal.

I don't know why.

PS I'm not talking about Lizardish.

I always thought there was a difference between welch and welsh?

But I wouldn't want to argue the point.

So she comes home, goes straight to the larder to get bladdered, but the lad who used to get the ladies drinkies had been laid off
so the bird tries to type a letter of complaint, but she cant, why ? because there no y on the bloody keyboard , thats

In North Wales a ladder is an "ysdol" not an "ysgol".
