Yeah, sorry if I wasn’t clear. I’ve definitely been in similar scenarios to the one you described there. Mostly in work between colleagues.

No apologies required, mate. I was just clarifying that some instances of people switching from English to Welsh in front of predominantly English speakers, can be a cultural thing or a dialectic thing.

However, yes, sometimes it is intentional and ignorant. Luckily I know enough basic Welsh to decipher if they’re slagging me off.

Best advert for the Euro, got conned by a taxi driver in Naples because trying to convert all the million Lire into pounds to work out if we were paying the right amount or not proved to be too much for us!

I used to have it with two Romanian colleagues who would start out speaking English then suddenly switch to Romanian and then back into English.

No offence was meant by it and was just the way they communicated with each other but I found it absolutely fascinating!!

Although I did have to remind them that I missed a whole segment of the conversation on occasion.

This headline:


Surely it’s a bit harsh making volunteers plea to search? Thought they’d welcome all the help they can get.

Said I'd get my daughter a McDonald's breakfast as a treat. Came to get it from Gallagher retail park.

Wow is all I can say. If the police were interested in keeping the roads safe they would sit there for half hour.

You just need a traffic unit permanently based around Foleshill Rd/Stoney Stanton Road and they’d pay for the rest of the force alone.

Probably too much hassle, much easier to hide away with a speed camera catching people doing 33 in a 30.

There were so many cars that shouldn't be on the road, what looked like a couple of pissed up uber eats drivers stood about and shocking driving.

Not to mention the beggars in the drive thru, that really annoys me.

The seemingly human nature thing where people like to inject a bit of malice into reporting a completely innocent way you’ve carried out a job. Why do people like to try and fuck other people over, over nothing?

Put on your compo face and cry on an email to your management.

I think it tends to be a narcissistic tendency in some people. Make yourself look good by making others look bad.

There’s a special place in hell for pricks who put their stuff in lockers and don’t lock them. I’m talking the free combination lockers in gyms and gym classes

Fucks me off opening every “free” locker to find someone’s shit in their cause they can’t spend 10 seconds to lock it

This is only in douchey gym classes so I probably won’t get much sympathy but

Facebook is basically unusable now. Wonder what their usage figures are like, must have been a huge drop off.

You literally get one post from someone you follow and then about 5 'suggested' posts that are not anything you're even vaguely interested in

People who make a big deal about their private roads, yet they look like they've been carpet bombed n they want parcels dropping to their door with their £7 amazon subscription. Wankers. Pay for my tyres/suspension.

As a noun, hack would be the cough itself.

Or a tip! Modern-speak, ADM - it does my head in too! There are perfectly good ways of expressing the same thing already, so we don't need to invent new ones. The one that gets me is "drop". Such-and-such a piece of information is about to "drop" today, the middle-aged presenters on 5Live announce. No! It will be released, announced or launched.
