If you head to the deep south you’ll have no problems practising Italian.In Italy last year I was hoping to flex my Duolingo muscles (600 day streak, basically a native) but they all defaulted to English before I got the chance. I was reading signs and menus like nobody's business though
No apologies required, mate. I was just clarifying that some instances of people switching from English to Welsh in front of predominantly English speakers, can be a cultural thing or a dialectic thing.Yeah, sorry if I wasn’t clear. I’ve definitely been in similar scenarios to the one you described there. Mostly in work between colleagues.
Best advert for the Euro, got conned by a taxi driver in Naples because trying to convert all the million Lire into pounds to work out if we were paying the right amount or not proved to be too much for us!If you head to the deep south you’ll have no problems practising Italian.
I used to have it with two Romanian colleagues who would start out speaking English then suddenly switch to Romanian and then back into English.No apologies required, mate.

However, yes, sometimes it is intentional and ignorant. Luckily I know enough basic Welsh to decipher if they’re slagging me off.
Said I'd get my daughter a McDonald's breakfast as a treat. Came to get it from Gallagher retail park.
Wow is all I can say. If the police were interested in keeping the roads safe they would sit there for half hour.
You just need a traffic unit permanently based around Foleshill Rd/Stoney Stanton Road and they’d pay for the rest of the force alone.
The police drive that badly do they?If the police were interested in keeping the roads safe they would sit there for half hour.
I assumed it was a reference to how many burgers they eat while on shiftThe police drive that badly do they?
The latest example:Facebook keeps suggesting posters I've never heard of, who live half way round the world and aren't on any friend's list as 'people you may know'.
Facebook is basically unusable now. Wonder what their usage figures are like, must have been a huge drop off.The latest example:
And no, I don't know Sandra Bullock and can't imagine why Facebook would think I might?
There are still plenty of people across the country happy to help you part with your money.Best advert for the Euro, got conned by a taxi driver in Naples because trying to convert all the million Lire into pounds to work out if we were paying the right amount or not proved to be too much for us!
As a noun, hack would be the cough itself.Words like " hack" I keep seeing on the internet .
" Here's a good hack for a quick healthy lunch"
It's idea, not hack. Hack is clumps of snot I cough up.afyer a heavy cold.
Bugger the lights, I've got the heating on here!Having to put the lights on mid morning in July because it's so dark and wet outside
You haven't knocked one out while looking at pics of her recently have you?The latest example:

same at matches, the amount of shit some people can consume in 2 hours amazes me. not like its decent stuff or reasonably pricedPeople who decide they want a 4 course meal at the cinema. It's an hour and a half, fucking animals chomping popcorn, nachos all the way through. Could barely hear the film.

I've suggested the banning out of crisps on trains as a first policy for the new government but happy to add in this too.Least you can't hear them at matches!
Or a tip! Modern-speak, ADM - it does my head in too! There are perfectly good ways of expressing the same thing already, so we don't need to invent new ones. The one that gets me is "drop". Such-and-such a piece of information is about to "drop" today, the middle-aged presenters on 5Live announce. No! It will be released, announced or launched.Words like " hack" I keep seeing on the internet .
