Besides gaelic in all its forms was the original lingo of the land until we let all the invaders in up to the Norman conquest. The Highlands and Islands of Scotland still have so do the Welsh and Irish. Yet in most cases its their first language but they have to speak English for people not to be offended. Once in N. Wales I whatched a guy crack up when 2 boys spoke Welsh yet he still didnt understand them when they spoke English either at least they kept their cultural identity.thanks mez,, where has the nice weather gone?mez said:lots of us ..........( i like your avatar granny )

Bagpuss said:A Somalian arrives in Leicester as a new immigrant to the United Kingdom.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says,
"Thank-you Mr.Englishman for letting me in this country!"
The man goes on and encounters another passer-by.
"Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in Britain!"
The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops,
shakes his hand and says "Thank you for the wonderful Britain!"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Iran, I am not
British!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously,
"Are you a British citizen?"
She says, "No, I am from Romania!"
So he is puzzled, and asks her, "Where are all the British?"
The Rumanian lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says...
"Probably at work."
