Watch your language...or A little snippet of local life in Northwest Wales.

Perhaps the tourists should start learning sign language. However, do you use different signs for the Welsh and English versions?
Good job they don't insist on customers using sign language in Cornwall for their local beers. It doesn't bear thinking about how you signal your desire for a couple of local brews called Piddle and Jimmy Riddle.

Primrose. Would make a very entertaining evening though.

Hi Primrose

It wasn't tourists involved; local Welsh speakers were ordering their drinks in Welsh and told not to!

Who the 25 year-old brandishing the gun was is not yet clear.

Now the truth is out, it seems it was the new Geordie landlord who pulled the guns on the Welsh-speaking locals. Hmm!

Hi Alan,
I remember a violent argument in the pub at Rhandirmwyn in Mid-Wales between the belligerent Northerners and the locals. There is a difference in the Welsh spoken in the north and the middle and this northerner took exception to something that was said which meant something rude to him and would you believe it was a Polish Ex wartime serviceman who sorted it out. He took them aside and explained it all and the two ended up having a good laugh.
Don't ask!
