Working with the Welsh?
Discussion
I start a new job on monday which is in Newport Wales.
Having spoken to my new boss, he is Very welsh, and struggle to understand what he is saying half the time!
Having never worked with the Welsh, Are there any big "do" or "donts" about them.
Or more importantly, how can i wind them up without getting sacked?

t, they chafe something terrible, but.
The farmer on the box art.You could enrol on welsh classes http://learnwelsh.coleggwent.ac.uk/
that would really wind them up, especially the one's who can't speak it, but are nationalistic anyway.
Note: My parents retire to Northwales, and my dad recently achieved A level Welsh, which is amusing cause he'll be chatting away in his broad lancashire accent, and the locals won't realise he can understand every word they say.

Why do you think they'd be any different to anyone else?Having spoken to my new boss, he is Very welsh, and struggle to understand what he is saying half the time!

Would you have asked the same question of starting a new job in Oxfordshire? - because that's just as far away from you as Wales is, ffs.
I wouldn't worry, they'll spend just as much time taking the mick out of you.
