The Bank of England rep in Wales was recently encouraging business in Wales to use more Welsh, a nice gesture indeed. However apart from a few factsheets aimed at 9 year olds the 'central bank for the UK' has no Welsh on its website, clearly it needs all the money to buy Northern Rock. Does this body actually serve the Welsh people, does it serve the thousands of Welsh speakers in England? These old beurocratic attitudes - ignoring, delaying and fogging are not acceptable in the 21st century. I am awaiting a reply to my email...
On the issue of Blogio yn y Gymraeg Draig Wen reader rhys wynne said... "I wouldn't hold my breath for a Welsh version of Blogger, even though it's available in 40 languages now. If you're after a blogging service in Welsh try www.nireblog.com/cy
or www.cy.wordpress.com" thanks for that Rhys.
