    Their I was thinking that the general standard of written English and grammar was failing on this forum, but I was wrong, people are just aspiring the the high levels of English from the BBC. I have noticed a distinct drop in good English on the BBC and there getting worse! Theirs no hope!
    Unfortunately, I am not loving it, come on BBC, you can do better than this.
    Here's, hears the link. 🙄

    You're not wrong. 🙄 But isn't the BBC based in London?? 🙄

    No, BBC Wales is based at Broadcasting House in Llandaff, Cardiff.

    BTW, I don't think it's very polite to pull people up because of small mistakes which they make to their second language.

    I think it was the fact that the guy in the video clip is also a prick 💡

    Be careful! Would you be so quick to critisize Samuel L. Jackson for using the "N" word?

    So why are you critisizing a Welshman regarding the use of English, even though I don't speak Welsh now I was top of the school many years ago. More bilingual than a first language. I also know that they speak a different language down south as a family member wrote some very well received language books for learning Welsh, but unfortunately they were geared for South Wales as the author is from Aberystwyth.

    I think the relevance here is that you haven't thunk!

    What a shame don, I'm sure that the BBC will be in contact with you shortly.

    edit: Just seen what you wrote above..eh?? samuel and the N word..wtf?!

    Explain the relevance of the video then. English prick giving an English pronunciation lesson to a German. That's funny, but how has it any relevance to a Welshman critisizing another Welshman. I can see that Ernie_Lynch made an incorrect assumption that I'm English (I think that's what she did). Easy to do.

    You appear to have an opinion on it.

    Erm no. I have always assumed that you might be Spanish.

    Fair enough, so I still don't see the relevance of the video and I don't know why you felt you had to call me a prick.
