We've already colonised that part with our blood-brothers

Actually, old boy, the Scots are already upset (mind you, they're always upset about something) so it should be "the problem has started" or "the problems have started" if you anticipate more.

BTW we fear nought from you. A carefully placed flock of sheep will distract you and thwart your dastardly plans.

[QUOTE=JohnDotCom;410824]Welsh the Official Language of Wales.
It is also a Legal recognised language in the UK.
It has equal standing in Wales with English.
Most Government leaflets have to be printed in Welsh
and all official letters and leaflets in Wales must be sent in both languages,
that includes all DVLA to with licences MOT's , Road signs etc printed in both. (Welsh being printed, even on roads above the English version here)

But I only see CRAFT SHOP signs in English when in Wales?

All five of our Grandchildren are being taught in the Medium of Welsh,
which is happening in more and more schools here now,
becoming Welsh Medium only schools.

(They can also of course converse in English if Required, well 4 of them)
