I recall visiting a barber in Llangefni in the late 70's, when I walked in it was busy, so I took a seat and read the paper whilst waiting my turn. As I waited all the chat between customers and the barber was in Welsh. When my turn came I sat in the chair and was asked something in Welsh I apologised that I didn't speak Welsh. The barber was extremely apologetic that I had been excluded. He said, in a really nice way, that if on entry I had said that I didn't speak Welsh then they would have switched to English. In my time at Valley I never saw the truculence that some have recounted.
