Ann we ant Mancs but often mistaken to be and yes his family would of booked half the camp up and yes you would of known about it, .........not for us of course we didnt havent many caravan holidays we were more Pontins or Hotel people :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Gins you missed out very arrogrant as well :-D :-D

£7 an hour cashier , and this is from someone who CLAIMS to have been a supermarket manager ... lol . bet you know how much the shelf stackers earn as well John , ... well you should eh ?

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one that found John's remark to be very rude.


Both John and Robyn Lewis have shown themselves to be both rude and pompous Welshmen.

I do my best SuperS...it's the crrrccchhh's & stuff :-(

This has to be coincidence but Dr Lewis's image on Google ( re this fracas )looks very similar to an avatar on here !
Mere observation :-\

BTW , I think Dr Lewis was pushing things a bit too far insisting on being told the cost of his purchases in Welsh..3 times !

Eeyore it's the way you pronounce it that gives me stress incontinence :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hayley.....You just made me smile.....my nan used to say to my mum...We had better book the caravan early before the lot from Liverpool and Manchester fill up the camp!

RAF Sealand......My OH built the wall around the spitfire on the airbase.

£7 an hour...perhaps the eminent welshman should write a book about people trying to live on that?

Perhaps John should consider the historical case of another 'respected' Welsh solicitor.......

:-D

How rude of you John.....I know a lot of people that work hard to support their families on a small income....we can't all be doctors and lawyers......and being so does not make you a better person.....what a terrible comment to make.

£7.00 an hour cashier ......pompus old fart


Ann we live just outside Manchester the reason it would of taken 5 hours is it would of been during the whit week during the 1960's so traffic was at a stand still and in them days they stopped every half hour for a cup of tea :-D :-D :-D :-D

Not a major coup for a Welsh language activist and respected local retired solicitor and author to get into a barny with a local £7 an hour cashier.




Is it me or does the above quote from John sound very snobbish?

REALLY?????? Like what the girl earns IN A HONEST LIVING has anything whatsoever to do with this??? REALLY?????

>>>>I''m out of here>>>>>>>

bloody hell the ration book will be out in a min......**sighs**


We used to pass the RAF base on our way to Wales when our kids were little and there was a spitfire in their front garden I think it was called Seasloat for something like it, there was a bit of dip in the road where you was loose your tum for a second or two, he told us all once that every time he ( Itsmytelly) passed it as a kid his uncle use to say " have you got your tow rope *****" ( for the spitfire) of course even now our Kids say it and you dont actually pass the base now as they have widen the road moved the spitfire :-D :-D :-D

Only if it's at the Ritz Lynda....Fleur Tallulahbelle has ideas waaaaaay above her station ;-) :-D :-D

Dr Lewis (like most Welsh speakers) likes the English language also and is happy to speak in English and happy to write in English if that is his audience.

His book "Second-Class Citizen" which he wrote was his second book. First in Welsh, second in English. It was an attempt to say there are two languages in Wales - Welsh spoken by about 30% then, English by 70%. How do we get mutual respect for both languages.

I do think it possible that Spar cashiers are taught to use English in the money part of the transaction. They would be encouraged to chat to the customer in the language most natural during the time she was ringing the goods. And then a lot of Welsh speakers seem to use English for stating money.

I am as sure as I can be that he would have politely asked her to ask him in Welsh and she possibly thought he was being awkward and simply repeated the amount she wanted in English. Perhaps he was being awkward on purpose, perhaps he did want to make a scene and be arrested. But doubt that was his style. Not a major coup for a Welsh language activist and respected local retired solicitor and author to get into a barny with a local £7 an hour cashier.

Certainly Dr Robyn not getting a whole load of sympathy on this thread.

FGS Ann you mentioned it again *faints*

I'll just mention...the only time I try & say anything in Welsh it is to SuperS & it usually 'causes stress incontinence :-D

We had great holidays in Prestatyn & Rhyl as kids, where was he travelling from that took 5 hours!

You have no hope Hayley MOTD 2 is finished lol
