Maybe they were unhappy with the customer service 2 Sundays ago. It was non-existent so they had to go through the hassle of serving themselves. Who wouldn't be angry at that?

Haha. That's right. I was suggesting that Welsh could have become the "dominant" language. What's English for lingua franca anyway?
I was referring to the adoption of English sounding words into the language - although you have to be careful here as some simply share a root with the English version - and suggesting that had Wales not shared a border (and government) with England, the language would have developed differenly to cope with the expansion forced since the industrial age.
I noticed a lot more anglicisation in the south over the north. Really basic stuff too.

I think there's a linguistics thread on here somewhere.

It's wonderful that the Welsh revival is successful. It's such an interesting language. The disappearance of languages all over the world is a tragedy, and anything that re-increases linguistic variety in this climate is a boon to culture.

someone has set fire to jd sports in brixton again. loads of fire engines down there at 06:15 putting it out.
wtf??
so much for the "peace, one love, brixton" written on the boards...
Footlocker was set alight at 11.30pm. Someone told me that it was an electrical fault rather than arson this time, but not sure how reliable that source is. The streets were still full of smoke and fire engines at 8.45am and the tube station still closed.

No it fucking doesn't. The English attempted to obliterate Welsh culture over successive centuries. The Welsh fought back to the extent that what was once almost a dying language is now spoken widely. This fact clearly rankles with the successors of the oppressors who now attempt to ridicule a culture which has as much - if not more - to offer than their Anglo Saxon/Norman melange...
Welsh, like Gaelic should be left to die out rather than being propped up at expense for 16 people in a fucking valley to ponce on about as if they are upholding some sort of cultural ra ra ra whatever bollocks......it's the equivalent of Panda's being artificially kept alive...poor fuckers

The difference is that pandas are delicious. They should be kept alive for that reason alone.
