I was sat in my office impatiently drinking tea all morning waiting for them to open the applications for the Business Development Grant.
They did say week commencing 26th October so had a feeling it wouldn't have been today.
On a positive note it gives me an extra day to put the final touches to my business plan.
Fingers crossed they don’t move the goal posts again and render your business plan useless!They did say week commencing 26th October so had a feeling it wouldn't have been today.

A friend transferred from the Met to North Wales Police he didn’t have to speak Welsh but could only be posted to the Merseyside/Cheshire border area unless/until he could speak Welsh
That would have been 15-20 years ago so things may have changed

He spoke as much Welsh as me, which is close to none. I understand Araf but that's only because they also write "Slow" above it.
The policy was to actively encourage Welsh speakers though. He learned. I'd have stuck with a phrase book.

I do wonder how many Welsh speakers cannot speak English however.
Happy for those who wish to speak it to speak it, but I don't like it being rammed down my throat. I wish there was an opt out system for not recieving official documents in Welsh, bloody waste of paper and resources.
Not one. Welsh Govt did a study a few years ago. Happy for those who wish to speak it to speak it, but I don't like it being rammed down my throat. I wish there was an opt out system for not recieving official documents in Welsh, bloody waste of paper and resources.

Thank you Mac - not difficult to understand is it?
Very. It's all the double l words and lack of vowels. that f is sounded as v and if you want to sound f it's ff
ll just means you spit over people
It's the sodding mutations of the words. Just when you learn one way they change it
Caerdydd, Nghaerdydd etc
No help for those who rent out holiday homes. I know a few small businesses renting out the flats above the shops as a way to keep the business viable.
