So have popped in to vent my frustration .....
Just called in at the local village shop close to work in my lunch hour for tea break essentials and was having a little chit chat to the woman behind the counter .......... like you do , when along came a woman and I presume her partner who were in their late 30's about.
She pushes past me and says in her loudest voice possible so that the whole shop can hear " **bleep** more bleddy foreigners "
I'm sorry but I'm in my own country speaking my own language !!!!!!!!
and so I told her in very clear Welsh exactly what I thought of her attitude and her dress sense which went wayyyyyyy over her head but amused the rest of the customers and Cerys immensely.

Well hello cee-dee nice to see you over here.
I would of stopped my chit chat immediately if they had said "excuse me" and would of apologised in English for being in the way , it was the fact they called me foreign surely even if you don't speak welsh you must pick up on a couple of words and realise that is what is being spoken.
Oh and as for the Jacko's .........................don't ya just love em

i too hate people who block ways just standing chatting

Supermarket trolleys are a pain in the proverbial in the hands some people. Why oh why they have to have their trolleys - with or without kids hanging off them - sideways on so that no-one can get passed.

Stan -
I learnt this many years ago, my best friends mum is welsh and she taught me a few words, I knew how to say it but had to look up how to spell it.

They were all speaking Welsh when I went in, they all stopped and turned to look at me. (I'm "English"...) no-one spoke, I asked for (in English) and got what I wanted, paid for it and as I turned to go said "Diolch", should have seen their faces.......
Something very similar happened to me except they pretended they couldn't speak English, I went elsewhere.
Rudeness cuts both ways, and there is never an excuse for it.

I have said chips that if she had only said something we would have stopped and spoken english as we usually do but it was her utter rudeness especially as she thought we were speaking a foreign language and as such didn't understand her.
I never use my mother tongue to make other people feel uncomfortable but she obviously thought it was ok to speak to anyone the way she did .
