Not very patriotic, I know. But it's a waste of a LOT of money, especially as 99.9% of people in wales speak ENGLISH as their 1st language!! I quite like the fact you still get taught your language, keeps some national identity imo...same with Irish... I think money is wasted in far worse ways than trying to keep up traditions/indigenous cultures... Still a load of gurgling and spitting at the end of the day though lol 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must cost millions to paint those signs in TWO languages, where one is perfectly acceptable. Just using motorway signs as one example. I get what you, and newkid, are saying, but we did perfectly well until 2016. Edited January 7, 2023 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
