yorik Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I've seen it all now - roadworks heading out to Kewaigue from Douglas have warning signs in Welsh. One side says "Wet Tar", the other "Tar Gwlyb". It's not just one rogue sign, they're all the way along so there's been a conscious choice to put them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Saw these signs out by the nunnery. Was baffled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Welsh speaking are the biggest Nazis going. They managed to get the United Kingdom DVLC and National Insurance administered by the sheep shagging barstards. When calling, there is an option for Welsh speakers - answered immediately. The rest of us can wait 20-30 minutes (my experience,number of occasions and it wasn't even fucking answered after that time and the shower of cunts were supposed to be working from home, so no excuse). I know I have said this before, well I'm fucking saying it again. The Welsh speaking sheep shagging narsty nazi barstards. They can fuck off or however you say that in fucking welsh. eta. Back on topic. And what is the point of Welsh speaking, or for that matter any dual lingo road warning signs in the British Isles.

Gladys Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 They were up at the Creg a few weeks ago (the signs that is, not the Welsh). I assumed they had something to do with the contractors who were doing the line painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If you look at the contractors' trucks, you will see that they say "Motorway Maintenance" or "Highway Maintenance" in English and Welsh. They were here last winter, too. Presumably they bring their own kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt you would say anything like that in reference to Manx people, as many posters on here will post, calling you names. Douglas has dual lingo Road signs Manx/English.

Is this opinion based on that one phone call? 55 minutes ago, Andy Onchan said: One phone call is all it takes to piss someone off. It was actually nearly a dozen phone calls (I've related the matter in a similar thread). I have all the Skype logs. Although I have had the same sort of service from DVLC this most recent episode was about my UK National Insurance. The only way I managed to speak to anyone other than recorded "please wait your call is important to us" bollocks, was by pressing the first (presumably most important option) for "Welsh speakers". The call was answered instantly. But the woman was having none of it and would not answer my somewhat simple question. She cut me off. Next day I tried again and after an hour of frustration I phoned as a 'Welsh speaker' - and yes, instant puckup. The different person this time was kind and understanding enough to help me. This may seem trivial and me being all complainy (see @Declan retort above) but it was frustrating and needless. It was about 8 hours in total I wasted, plus cost of the calls. I did make an official complaint, which I am sure they are all having a good laugh at. .Speak fucking Welsh if you want (and yeah, Manx too, come to that, because all that Manx stuff is thin end of the wedge) but fuck off into your seedy pubs and grotty homes and speak it amongst yourselves and people who give a toss about fucking dead languages.
