Bore da, sut mae? That’s Welsh, polite Welsh, inoffensive Welsh, not the sort of Welsh that would upset the Welsh. Unlike the Asda sign above, bilingual it is, Rhys boy.
Considering there’s a rumpus in Liverpool at the moment over a young girl told to ‘get back to Wales’ the supermarket chain is lucky not to be had up before Lord Justice Bewildered on hate crime charges.
Look at the sign, they want £2.50 more out of the Welsh before refunding parking than they do from English customers.
There's a bit of Parry in me, I might have a go myself, although admittedly I have been called much worse than Welsh. And that’s by my family.
Still, no one should expect fairness in parking charges. You bought the killer car, you just take your punishment.
Imagine all those starving families if there were not flat-headed wardens strutting around with their delusions of adequacy and digital cameras.
And hey, if you had made your aunty Ethel eat her five a day she may not be in hospital now. So pay up when you go visiting.
Not to mention when you are a patient. Not enough roughage, young man.
I’ll tell you what I think-Cyfarchion y Tymor!

Steve,
Never mind the celtic minorities.
What about this "MR LOOPHOLE" fella.
You know, the smart, smug faced "I only deal in the law" fancy-pants solicitor who has managed to get "celebrity drunk" Freddy Flintoff off with a £60 fine and 3 points for doing 85mph on that 50mph stretch at the Liverpool bound end of the M62.
The notice arrived after the 14 day period in which it should have been sent out and the matter was thrown out of Liverpool magistrates yesterday.
Amazingly, at noon yesterday I stood in a queue behind a selection of this fair citys tracksuited "youth", all busy paying a fiver off their array of fines for being ugly and scruffy.
At the same court building as the deamon bowler, I was in line to pay a fine for the same offence as the loveable rouge Flintoff.
The reason, no, not for stealing a pedlo!! My better half was flashed doing 62mph on the same stretch of motorway on the way back from the Gemini M&S.
" I didn't see any signs !" was her excuse.
I didn't know our clapped out mini MPV could go that fast!!!
The notice took ages to come through, well over 14 days and I though of contesting it ourselves...
...but adding up what it could cost it didn't seem worth it..
Travel and parking in town, celebratory/comisoratory eating/refreshmenst, cost of childcare, loss of a days pay, cost of a solicitor, trauma of going to court etc.. it was easier for her to pay the 60 dabs and take the points.
60 notes wont be missed by Flash Freddie, he even got his costs paid as well, the cheeky blighter!!
I know Mrs Gigsy was over the speed limit but the authorities love picking on the easy target that is the Mr Ordinary who registers his car and pays his tax and insurance. I think I'll take my chances next time!!!
I've got to flog my old Armoury Show records on E-bay now!! That 'll bring in a couple of quid at least....
