BTW, English is not the first language around here so you also have me at another disadvantage.

Sorry for the OT
Um, one of the Brits here was explaining that to me when I was asking about Wales... What is the first language?

Eric,
The language around here is Cymraeg/Welsh. You would be lucky to find anyone in the streets or shops speaking English in my town. In fact you'd have to travel some distance.
Sure there are some English people here, there's me for a start but I don't personally know of any others. Changes in the summer of course when the tourists come to visit.
The British Isles has four main languages and two are recognised as first languages. It might be three, not sure on that one.
All Welsh people can of course speak English to varying levels, some can find it quite difficult though. Just depends what you wish to talk about.
Then again in many areas some can't speak Welsh at all, so it's a real mix and just depends where in Wales you are.
I'm right in the thick of it as you can prob guess....and I've been here since childhood.

Sadly she's not doing too well Eric, had an op earlier today to remove her damaged eye. She had lost sight in it and it was too swollen to fit back into the socket. They couldn't wait any longer for the swelling to reduce and it was causing other complications not to mention the discomfort.
Alas she stopped breathing during the op, they got her started again but she didn't recover too well.
There is a chance she has suffered brain damage, either from the knock or the op. We just have to wait now and give her a little more time.
We'll know more tomorrow, fingers crossed.
