'Neighbours from Hell: English Attitudes to the Welsh', a good read, written by an Englishman. Available from the river

I've not read it so might pick up a copy.

Personal experience having lived both sides of the boarder for long periods is that I encountered much a much more of an anti English attitude in Wales than I have an anti Welsh one in England. Generally most people in England don't really care.

to = i
from = oddi wrth

Write it in magic ink which only shows up when smeared in chip grease.

I pretty much agree with everything a1ex2001 says. I wish the Welsh language zealots and their chums in Cardiff Bay would stop foisting a dead language on a population who simply don't care about it.

Whereas I agree with the sentiment, his "facts" are pulled from his rear end and he has quite a big chip on his shoulder blaming his lack of attainment on Welsh eduction, whereas he should be looking closer to home at his own failures.

Oh yes, his personal failures are are exactly that!

Welsh is my primary language

I would write "I" and "Oddi Wrth"
