Or anywhere in North Wales/Lleyn(sp?) Peninsula, Welsh is quite commonly used there these days.Originally posted by BrowneIssue View PostUnless it is in Anglesey. In which case, you'll be in for a surprise.
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.

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.

Bah bah, bah bah bah...baah bah bah. Bah bah bah, baaaaaah...Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostJust had an agent call with a perfect match contract apart from one part of the essential criteria that I couldn't meet... 'must speak Welsh', WTF? A bit of a long shot considering I live in England, it was SC cleared as well.
That is one niche I hadn’t thought about exploring, forget CCNA, Prince2, and ITIL, just learn Welsh and get security cleared…. BOOMED!!

Well I am only a few miles from the Seven bridge, maybe he thought I'd escaped.

My surname is Welsh in origin, I wonder if the pimp picked up on that and thought he'd take a long shot?
