Got a speeding ticket through this morning from North Wales Police for doing 39 in a 30 in Colwyn Bay.
Luckily enough it's not my car anymore and I didn't leave Glasgow on Saturday so I won't be getting the points.
I was sent both an English copy and a Welsh copy.
Are there any people at all in the country who only speak Welsh and not English?
If not, wtf is the point in doubling the resources used to send out a redundant piece of paper?

Why didn't you come and say hi, i'm 5 mins from there 
Quite a few speak welsh towards bangor, and then further south. Just the law they have to give both versions.
Where in colwyn bay

for some English is only a second language, so would find reading in Welsh easier.
i think anyone who says they can speak another language find what they know easier to say than it is to read/write.
i can read French and (almost) Welsh but not without a dictionary to confirm my translation

wasnt just by a vauxhall garage was it? i got caught there at half 7 in the morning about 4 1/2 years ago. the reason both get sent is because people who use welsh as their main language will kick off etc, so its basically to keep the welsh hill billies happy. If you go up the lanes/sticks round here, all the "give way" signs are in just english and almost every one has the welsh equivilent spray painted on

lol tis a bit pathetic, on the train stations all the announcements are made in welsh before the english - it would make life so much easier if it didnt do it that way... by the time the english comes on the bloody trains gone and the punters are moaning that it was babbling on in a "foreign language" lol

All our communication from the uni comes in both english and welsh, and before exams they read the instructions out in welsh then again in english. Such a waste of time

Its a similar situation here in A Coruņa, where I live in Spain. Castellano is the national spanish language, but they also speak the local "Gallego" language here, which is closer to portuguese than castellano. Its more widely spoken though than welsh, some of my classes at uni last semester were taught in gallego, which was interesting.
