Linguistic Lunacy
According to the Daily Telegraph, a NOTAM has been posted requiring pilots of flights arriving in Wales to make a Covid-related announcement in Welsh as well as English. To me, as a Welshman, this is madness. Firstly, I doubt that there's a single Welsh speaker in the 21st century who can't understand English. Secondly, Welsh is a consonant-heavy language, quite different to most mainstream tongues so reading a script intelligibly would be next to impossible for an outsider. Has the CAA really regressed to the point where it hasn't the nous to tell the Cardiff Bay morons to take a hike?
