According to the 2001 census. 582,368 persons over 3 were able to speak Welsh – 20.8% of the population. So 79.2% of the rest cant understand the road signs as well. I wonder if they get ignored in pubs as well?Martin Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719332121719827761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-46471996438304403922009-03-30T17:26:00.000+01:002009-03-30T17:26:00.000+01:00Reminds me of the first time I went to Snowdonia a...Reminds me of the first time I went to Snowdonia around 1970. I was travelling up the Llanberis Pass on a bus when a guy opposite me suddenly piped up, 'do you speak Welsh?'I told him that I didn't and that I spoke only English as that was my native language. He looked disgusted but shut up. But like you observed I didn't feel at all welcome. Strange how Scotland and Ireland are such welcoming countries but Wales clearly still had an identity problem. I've never been asked that same question in The Gaeltacht areas of Ireland for example :) DesDeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183564238698422977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-40544111418576845722009-03-30T14:48:00.000+01:002009-03-30T14:48:00.000+01:00Another person that I am the ideal walking partner...Another person that I am the ideal walking partner for. ^__^<BR/>I make you and Phil look good!<BR/>Besides did those young ladies not know you are a Challenger, which makes you one of the most desirable men on the planet?whitespider1066http://whitespider1066.comnoreply@blogger.com
