Ward~minter. Jealous?? What of??? If you`re so much better than the Welsh, why do English people move to Wales, & can`t wait to do so? Could it be because they prefer the community spirit? The peace? Or could it be to get away from people like you? As for the Welsh language. More & more people are learning it everyday, especially English people who want to be part of the community.

The Welsh education authority have made Welsh compulsory in schools, which a lot of English speaking families are very pleased about. If you chose to live in a country where their own language was mostly spoken, you would be want to learn that language to be able to coverse with others. There are Welsh interpreters at The Hauge, should they be requested, the same as they have interpreters in other languages. As for Wales being an "antiquated dump", guess what , we do have running water, & electiricity. Oh & we can read. Yes, there probably are people with ruddy faces, but that`s what you get when you work outside in what we have plenty of FRESH AIR. The sweaty backs, yes probably, bought on by WORK.

I notice your reference to Welsh singers. Charlotte Church does sing in Welsh. The Sterophonics have done. The others I can not comment on. You don`t mention Katherine Jenkins, Bryn Terfel, Aled Jones, Catatonia, Cerys Mathews. Your "scientific based facts", who was the scientist ? I & many others would be most interested to read their findings. Could you possible give me the name of this scientist ?

Fe fydd yn bleser mawr ateb twpsyn fel chi yn fy mam iaeth. Ond dwy ddim yn gweld llawer o bwynt gwneud hynny achos nid oes gennych syniad beth yfarn dw`i yn gweud wrthoch. Oherwydd hyn, dw`i ddym yn mynd i wastrafu rhagor o fy amser yn dadleth efo chi.

Let's face it ward~minter is a racist moron who should be prosecuted and does'nt deserve our time any longer. My guess is his problem his caused by a Welshman shagging his missus. He'll probably retort with a tired old sheep joke, yawn yawn.

Firts of all I`m not dissing the English only you. If I`m in the company of fellow Welsh speakers, whatever their nationality, I will ofcourse speak Welsh. After all, by speaking in English, I am speaking a foreign language.
