This is how it is supposed to be. A shame the thread was closed, this story would have made a difference to the nonsensical retorts back and forth that were taking place.

What's that got to do with the price of rice?

But it is unsuitable for women and children.

For women, the situation is even worse. Their prayer room is only 2m x 1.5m and has no windows or ventilation.

so much for equality eh?

but thats largely the point isnt it? They are trying (and possibly will suceed) to do better.

This is true, the welsh are VERY friendly people, BUT, their attitude is 'fit in, or fook off' and they're not afraid to voice their opinions about it

Cymru am byth

That's correct boyo and in many parts they would be sent to coventry and Welsh would be spoken in front of them.

Fortunately the BBC story that I read there doesn't share any of the sentiments that seem to be in this thread.

I think that Gaelic/Manx (Celtic Languages) should be taught in Schools.

I'm Scottish and have travelled to the western Isles of Scotland on a few occations where they still use Gaelic and it's embarrassing that I can't understand or talk to the peeps in Scotland's native tongue?

You can't help but thinking that these people look down on you? Most school kids know more French or Spanish that Gaelic.
