In Wales, mind your language

“This is a Welsh-speaking community and people speak Welsh first, English second. People have always ordered their drinks in Welsh. No one has a problem speaking English if others don’t understand them but you can’t really come into a Welsh-speaking pub and demand that people speak English. It’s bound to antagonise.”

"Down at the Royal Oak tonight they will again be ordering their pints of cwrw, their English foe vanquished. Still, being generous in victory, they may just be persuaded to accept an order in Saesneg. "
