They can play rugby like a nation posessed but why can't they name things properly? Or places? Hwlffordd, heckin' fell!

Oh dear.
It's another language. You know - as in "not English"?

It's because they come from a country called Wales!
If they didn't use Latin based characters then you wouldn't be complaining.
Hwlffordds = Halfords?
hehehe!

toasted with some salty butter please.
You should try moving from Wales to England, picking up English words is pretty much impossible! At least Welsh is faily phonetic!

About the rugby bit lets see what happens in the Autmn internationals, we are spectacularly good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Just look at the mighty Ospreys, bloody hell that was close last weekend.

presumably you refer to English??
Welsh has more vowels... a, e, i, o, u, w, y

It's for bigoted opinions like this that im my experience wherever you go in the world the English are universally disliked. However the mood lightens when you inform them you are infact from wales.

strictly speaking 'w' & 'y' are also vowels in English but we pretend they're not
Try saying them and observe that your vocal tract is open and unobstructed, unlike for consonants where there is some obstruction...

Nope its Haverfordwest. Which sounds equally daft in english?!

I'm trying to get my tounge round willy and can feel a bit of the obstruction you mentioned.

Not true! With W sounds the air flow is partly constricted by the lips, and with Y it is constricted by the tongue. There isn't a complete closure, but it counts as a consonant.

Wales.
Finest land there is. Land of my fathers, that is (actually, land of my mother, but we'd be splitting hairs here, wouldn't we?).

Hawaii got the vowels, Wales got the consonants

I almost get that for 'w' but 'y' = eee-uh

It's not vowels that's strange in Welsh, it's consonants. On the one hand, there's no "j", "q", "x" (taxi = tacsi!), "k", "v" or "z". On the other, they have "ff", "ph", "ll" and "dd".
No wonder we English get confused!
