"Sorry" was the reply "We've no fish left". There just happened to be about 6 or 8 fish in the warmer. "What are these then?" we asked. "Oh They're reserved for the locals." replied the charming Welsh gentleman. I won't repeat the advice we gave him.
Me n mate had a similar thing when we called in a pub one early evening on Anglesey mid 60s, we ordered 2 pints of bitter n immediately all the pub including the barman switched to Welsh, couldn't understand us, big mistake,as we just reverted to Liverpool backslang n nicely gave em a real gobfull.
