If she speak welsh again try answering her in Afrikaans :innocent:
My Afrikaans is nie goed nie. But given that I won't sink to her level, don't want to give her any excuse to claim I'm being racist. She's very quick to play that card in regards to anyone saying anything negative at all about her land. Afterall she's 'A Son of Glyndwr'. The Welshman who was educated by the English and took the castles from them, then after 4 years the Welsh left him to his fate. He didn't have any sons!
I sit and do my work and let her carry on, this riles her even more.
You think that once you leave school all this rubbish is behind you, but it seems here it isn't.
Duck she's not married and that might explain a thing or two.
Cheffie most welsh are great people, I live in a very welsh national area and they're great.
Perhaps its just her.
Grit teeth and get on.
