They do say that the truth is often lost in translation...... :-(

Well it is Swansea ....... ;-)

~~~~~to Sis... <3

Cos Errol they are dim :-P

LOL having said that i watched the call centre last night based in Swansea!!!

OMG some of the staff, are they for real. The body builder who was so vain and so unintelligent. he didnt know what being in love meant!

However brightened up a dull day and made me laugh.

Florence
in the hebrides. :-D

Wouldn't it make sense to have a Welsh speaker in the office?

:-0

How did a Welsh sign get placed in Aberdeen? rofl

enough of this slagging off the Welsh or I'll report this thread Errol :-D

this is the country that gave you Tom Jones, Dylan Thomas, Shirley Bassey, Harry Seccombe and many more, so lay off :-S

And "dim" in Welsh means "No"

don't you dare delete this thread Errol :-D :-D

I spent four days in Wales, had a lovely time.

Except for the barmaid........ who argued with me about the Scotch I ordered.......... "try this one, it's better"........... "No, I want that one"...... and so on and so on......... grrrrrrrr

AnnCardiff as if I would :)

When I lived in Wales I quickly discovered that dim meant no and you could add "io" to virtually anything. I don't think the spelling matters as long as you say...
dim smokio - no smoking
dim parcio - no parking
dim entrio - no entry
big dim noio - big no no
s dim - snow
dim sum - a Chinese snack
dim dim sumio - no Chinese snacks
dim ssss - nose
In fact, I reckon I could give Welsh lessons as I am so fluent.

I remember seeing this a few years ago but seems to have repeated in being shown around the web at the moment :-)

I'm from Swansea and sadly know people who work in the call centre including some who are trained teachers and nurses but sadly call centres are the Swansea job scene at the moment . Have to say though there are some right idiots there too including the bodybuilder who thinks he is gods gift to women , he is currently a promo topless butler for a bar in town and the only attention from the ladies is of laughter . :-D

Do you mean the television programme Welshkitty?

I do indeed Errol :-)

Now that I am fluent do you think I could design some roadsigns?

If you do,Errol,don't go on a web translator,they are rubbish....just ask Tecwyn, or one of the other Welsh speakers on here ..and beware that some words are different in North and South Wales!....Diolch!

I shall bear that in mind - thank you for the advice.
Is there a North/South phrasebook?

Please park tidy
North - wnewch chi parcio yn daclus
South - wnei di gyfiethu hyn, Gwladys?

John surely you don't need someone else to translate it?
I thought you lived in south Wales anyway lolol

:-D :-D Good one Errol. First time I have laughed at one of your funnies since the Welsh druid thread in 2007. ;-)
