Just pulling your leg Matthew.
I work with quite a few Welsh speakers and find it amusing when they're chatting away in Welsh and 1 or 2 words in every sentence are English.
I don’t understand difficult words in welsh, Not comparing, But I don’t understand difficult words in English.

Matth, I'm not quite sure how to tell you this, but that don't look much like Welsh to me
I actually used to know a few words, really basic stuff for example i know Ty is house.
How do you say...
We lost 3 nil to spurs at home but I don't care...i just don't care...I really don't care...**** off Fellani
Rydym wedi colli 3 dim i ysbwriel yn y cartref ond dydw i ddim yn poeni ... dydw i ddim yn poeni ... dwi ddim yn ofalus iawn ... **** off Fellani
I like the way the Welsh provide you with a short language primer on their road signs.
I learnt the following highly useful phrases in my 5 years living there:
Dim Parcio
Dim ridio bike
For those of you who are not fluent like me these mean
No Parking
No bike riding
Fortunately I had already left by the time these unfortunate incidents occurred:

But my favourite of all is this one:
'Lack of respect'
It is the latest in a long line of translation blunders in Welsh.
Examples include a sign erected in Swansea that was supposed to read: "No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only".
Instead, the message read: "I'm not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated".
