Having a mare here Sludge.

The ridiculous nature of the situation was summed up for me yesterday when for a reason to get on a Welsh language course I wrote, “I’m embarrassed that I don’t know my mother tongue “. I don’t know the language of the country that I’ve lived in for 42 years, how mental is that?

As for getting rid of Welsh literature etc, that’s only going to marginalise Welsh speakers even more and make the language less visible.
