just rang.
Long satellite delay.
Eventually
I lost patience, broke my own rule of not speaking first, and said
"Prynawn
da".
"Hello
maam this is Trevor from Microsoft" a male oriental sounding voice.
"Hello
Trevor, beth wyt ti moen gyda fi?"
"What?
Can't you speaking in English to
me?"
"Achos
fod rhwy i dim yn ishe siarad Saesneg i ti."
"Why
are you speaking in a foreign language to me?"
"D'yw
Cymraeg ddim yn foreign language i fi bach, mae 'e yr iaith fy ngwald
cartref."
"You
know what you can do?"
"Beth?"
"You
can f*ck off"
"Well
you rang me sunshine, and I didn't ask you to, so you can f*ck off too, and
then you can f*ck off some more."
He already had.

Rough translation to save the monoglot English from google translate, and my imperfect spelling.
“Good afternoon.”
“Hello Trevor, what do you want with me?”
“Because I don’t want to speak English to you.”
“Welsh is not a foreign language to me pet, it is
the language of my homeland.”
“What?”
Still here. Always here. Here forever.
Love it! 💖💞
