I had a call from a recruitment agency today who were asking about some work I did at a local authority. The recruiter asked which one and I said "Ceredigion". She said what, and I had to repeat it three times. In the end she asked me to spell it and as I started she said "Oh, Cardiff".

When I finally got it across, she said "I always struggle with the Welsh councils because there's so many, and it's almost like another language".

Almost.

@Quicky then other day a colleague started trying to say "Carmarthenshire" and then gave up, saying "I can't pronounce the Welsh name".

That's the English name. The Welsh name is shorter and easier to say.

@Knittingdancer
Did that person think the English name is "Diffid"?
