unlacedgecko 1,467 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Geg. Bloody phone I've never seen it written so went with phonetics. Stupid me, applying English phonetics to Welsh! Taught to me by a rather cute ginger mechanic in Suffolk. It's been vital in dealing with arsey Welsh sub-contractors. They always looked rather shocked when it comes from a well spoken Englishman... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robbo 868 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 My boy who is 7 has learned loads of Irish as they have to do it in school, amazing how quick they pick it up.......personally, I do t have a clue what he is on about !! But it's good to hear him do it. A mate of mine who used to be on here, they spoke Welsh almost exclusively in his village and fair bloody play to them I say. When i visited betws y coed[spelling?] in snowdonia everybody in the pub started speaking exclusively welsh as soon as we walked in. Dont think the english are too popular in that neck of the woods. Don't flatter yourself, as they were speaking Welsh before you came in. You were just not there to hear it. Welsh is far from being a dead language, try and get a kid into a Welsh school, waiting lists, people even moving to get into the catchment areas. TC they were all talking english until i went to the bar and ordered the beers. After that it was all black looks and welsh language. It was along time ago though. maybe they are all fans of us english folk now. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Considering none of our neighbours are Welsh, 'er indoors has already picked up some local phrases just by hearing people out and about. "I'm going to the shops I am".... "Put it down by there"... What with those and her already funny Irish phrases, it's English, but not as I know it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
