That's because drippy Drakeford does the maths in Wales.......the rest is going on bi-lingual lessons for Welsh hearing dogs for the deaf.
Perhaps you can explain their use off double L at the start of a place name. You will forgive my ignorance but I was lead to believe a double L -Ll at the beginning of a place name might be pronounced Cl or Fl as in Claneffli LLanefli or or Clyn Llyn but recently I found out LLansantfraid is pronounced Sansanfraid. Do they do this just to confuse or do they make it up as they go along?
Having been born and lived there for 27 years - I can confirm that we make it up as we go along. If you ask for a translation quickly and put pressure on us, we panic and make something up. For instance ambulance in Welsh is ambiwlans. Panic words are useful in an emergency, like needing an ambulance. So if you just shout AMBULANCE, Welsh people will know that what you really want is an AMBIWLANS so will call one for you..............maybe.
