Merkin Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 A delightful romp by Grant reveals that not all Welshmen (Welshboys?) are taciturn and deliberate. In fact, talking tidy may well catch on and sweep across Canada...Good stuff. Don't miss it. Quote Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have an acquaintance in Wales whom I correspond with, but I'm guessing he is not native Welsh because what he writes seems like pretty standard British. I predict that I would have trouble listening to a Welsh speaker. It's bad enough trying to follow BBC dramas set in places like Newcastle. R Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 He has a few of these types of stories. Good reading. Quote Link to comment
Nick Deverill Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I've no idea whether it is intended, but I think the w in 'cwm' is pronounced a bit like a single 'u'. So with my 'talent' for mispronouncing Welsh words, I see "Cwmsiencyn" as "Comes-again". Nice story though, even though I don't see Welsh accented English spoken much like the depiction.
