Reply to: What's wrong with this sign?

Apart from the touristy places up there that seem to be overrun with scousers

Ah yes, I didn't mean the north coast! Also, forget Holyhead - it reminds me of an Irish Travellers camp (if I were to be PC about it). Not that I spend a lot of time with pikies (to be less PC about it), but there were more enough of them about where I used to live.

But yes, get into the smaller towns and villages and it is widely spoken.

Yes, commonly in North Wales.

Does anybody really speak Welsh if there aren't any English tourists in the pub?

Not in Swansea where the sign was...

Why would you check the date on a headline news story?

It's not a headline story. It's one of the most shared stories on the BBC News website.

If it were a headline story, ie one linked to from any of the sections on the front page of the news website, then I would assume that it's current. Since it's not, it's something that people are sharing, then I'd be inclined to automatically check whether it is a story from within the same decade or not.

You couldn't read the date at the top of the page?

Why would you check the date on a headline news story? Do you check the date on newspapers in the shop to check they're not from last year?

It is well old but it also shows a certain arrogance on whoever set up the out of office reply in creating a message that was only in Welsh.

Perhaps he didn't want anyone to understand it.

It was one of the top stories on the leftie BBC news webtulipe.

I sort of assumed it was a new thing.



At least the DM is current.

The DM can be just as guilty of re-hashing old junk though..

There's everything wrong with that sign. If I lived there, how would my large objects be delivered, eh?

It's OK, claim you only speak Welsh.
