Conducting Business In Manx

try putting in your order loudly in Welsh. Dau beint o gwrw os gwelwch yn dda = 2 pints of beer please. You may then find that the locals start talking in English!

Tempting to try, but there's not a chance in hell my f*cked up pronunciation of Welsh is going to convince anyone that I understand the lingo! There's more chance that they'll split their sides laughing at me!

 

I remember trying to order a coffee in portugal using a crazy mix of pidgin English and Portuguese. The waiter looked at me as if I had just offered to piss on his kids.

We wished we had had a Welsh speaker with us - but only so we could then have dealt appropriately with The Bastard's pathetic, tiny-minded Welsh MGP mates. The real irony being that they were all employed by the MOD looking after the barracks and training area as there is sod-all else to do in a shit-hole like Sennybridge. Put it this way, you wouldn't go there by choice.
