Spot on Terry....although i can empathise a bit with Rob's viewpoint. It's the UK and the language is English. Until the time the Welsh vote to devolve .Originally Posted by Terry D
Rob - as one who has experienced racism, I assure you that someone preferring to speak their native language in front of someone who doesn't understand that language, is absolutely NOT racism.
It's perhaps discourteous, even rude, but it isn't racism.
I'm wondering if there was bit more going on behind the story though. having experienced a rather abusive taxi driver when at Castle Martin range (Pembrokeshire) a long time ago, i wonder if the locals had been grinding an axe for a while before the 'gun' incident. Remember the burning of the holiday cottages?
I know one thing though...personally, if i had bought the pub i would have made sure (and enjoyed it) that i learnt some general phrases and polite greetings in Welsh and promoted any sporting banter.
