It was a piss take at our language as there seems to be this group that are making it up as they go along and mixing it with Welsh and dozens of letter k added to every word to for something that's not even CornishBi-ingual? You don’t know one of them very well.
Makes you laugh they make a bastardised name up for a well know town change all the road signs to it and when you look at really old maps it has the correct Cornish name that's nothing like what they are promoting

Was in Wales last week- nice place but thought just that, they must spend a fortune on all this double signage stuff.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Usk = Bryn Buga ....... I mean how the **** did they arrive at that one
Abergavenny = mouth of the Gavenny (river) (which is Welsh) ... so why Yffenni ????
Monmouth ought to be either Abermonnow or Ymonnow ... they ain't ****ed with that one yet

When Pam's kids were doing their GCSE choices they were forced to take Welsh ... both wanted to do French, were good at it and would have been more beneficial than the crap they were forced to take and have never used since .... If they'd been 'properly' mine I'd have gone to the wire for them on it, but 'wasn't allowed' to.

I'm all for kids to learn Welsh i wish I'd had the opportunity.
But the only place it will probably benefit you work wise is in a government institution

yes, but as an optional choice .. not a compulsory curriculum subject. My school French has stood me in good stead, over the years .. never been in a situation where I needed to be able to speak Welsh.

We have it here too ..our signs are in French and Breton ...when ever it's discussed most think it's a waste of money but should be just in Breton.
and a lot don't think Bretagne should be part of France anyway, the guy down at the testing station collers me every year to explain that soon it's going to get independence from France and it was taken illegally etc.
Finally nobody likes a sign more than the French....end of our road makes me laugh out loud when I notice it from time to time.
EDIT: in fact I'm going to count the signs at the end of our road (entrance to village) and nearest guess gets a special prize in the post .
