Hiya Guys

I wonder if any Welsh speakers subscribe to this forum?  If so, perhaps they
can help me.  In the latest results section for the RSGB 80M SSB CC, GW7BZR
remarks ..." MAE'N RHAID BOD PAWB O GYMRU WEDI CAU I LAWR YN FUAN!"

I am ashamed to say that despite being an ex-GW, my knowledge of the
language is virtually zero, so I typed the phrase into an online translation
site and got the following result ......
 "HE ' IS BEING HEARTBURN NECESSITY BE EVERYONE HE SHE PERSUADING HAS SHUT
DOWN SOON!" .... Now, I know that my old country folk can sometimes have a
rather lyrical turn of phrase somehow don't think that this can be entirely
accurate!!

It reminds me of the Tony Hancock sketch with the immortal line..."It is a
raining not in Tokyo also!"
