That said. It's never been a real problem to turn off/uninstall those bit's of software.
The real problems are click happy users who install all sorts of junk "without realising".

People who use this site as some kind of weird version of Google.

The Welsh actually had a referendum a few years ago and rejected the idea of independence, but don't let your ignorance of the facts restrict you from stating your opinion. You seem not to be a very pleasant person anyway, I don't think you'll be missed much.

You what? Betws-Y-Coed is a nice place. I think you might have mixed it up with Blaenau Ffestioniog.

Can the Welsh not speak English? Why else do roadsigns/directions etc have to be in two languages?The Welsh actually had a referendum a few years ago and rejected the idea of independence, but don't let your ignorance of the facts restrict you from stating your opinion.

Why shouldn't they be in Welsh too? Many Welsh taxpayers speak Welsh, an indigenous British language predating English, as their first language.I live in Wales and I'm Anglophile but it is no skin off my nose whatsoever that signage is bilingual. It doesn't negatively affect me in any way at all.

Oh well in that case let's have all UK roadsigns in ancient Anglo-Saxon shall we? Actually the Welsh langauge didn't develop 'til the middle ages IIRC... .rohrl said:

You're too close to the subject matter and therefore can't see objectively. Try living somewhere you have easily and quickly decipherable roadsigns and you'll soon understand the benefit.rohrl said:

That is something that annoys a lot of Welsh people especially tax payers as the Welsh assembly spends masses of money translating and forcing Welsh on people.As it stands according to the latest census nearly 75% of Welsh people cannot speak any Welsh, more people in Wales speak Urdu than Welsh.
If Welsh wasn't made compulsory in 1990 thus giving kids no choice to avoid it the percentage of people who for the purpose of a census and the nature of the questioning can answer that they can read/write in Welsh would be considerably smaller.

I like it, I am also all for the support of the Welsh Heritage & Identity and that includes the language.As it stands according to the latest census nearly 75% of Welsh people cannot speak any Welsh, more people in Wales speak Urdu than Welsh.

And I am not Welsh
