    As one of the poor tax-payers who has to pay for this nonsense I don't think its very funny. Everything official in Wales has to have a translation into Welsh despite the fact that the majority of the population don't speak Welsh and they all speak English.

    Almost nowhere do you find commercial companies bothering - because it costs money and as there is no demand they don't bother but tax payers largess knows no bounds.
    The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
    'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
    He keeps his side arms awful,
    And he leaves them all about,
    Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.

    This would make a better letter to your MP than a post on a forum about kilts.

    Am I not allowed to comment on the original post? Perhaps your comment should have been directed at that.
