Sports Direct Slammed After Notice Appears To Ban Workers From Speaking Welsh

First topic message reminder :

Sports Direct has faced yet another row over how its staff area treated after issuing a notice which appeared to ban staff in one of its Welsh branches from speaking their own language.

A sign appeared in the Bangor Sports Direct store telling staff members that “it has come to our attention that some members of staff are speaking to each other in languages other than English whilst carrying out their duty”.

It continued: “We would like to take this opportunity to remind staff that they must speak in English at all times while they are at work, in order that they can be understood by all members of staff; this includes any personal conversations that may be taking place during work time.

Ever heard of google translate?

But if people are conversing in a different language on here ..one you don't understand, they obviously want to exclude you from the conversation.
Why use google  translate?....nosy parker.

No different than people sending PM's to each other

They may want people to learn their language

Which would encourage people to stop being lazy, so your reasoning has just fallen flat

Man that was a desperate from you syl to try and score a cheap point ha ha

In fact people have conversed in Spanish, Arabic etc on here before.

Reading through this thread I see  the goalposts haven't been changed one bit.
We are not talking of accents, we are talking of a language, which is not understood by 99.9% of the world and only understood by a small percentage of the actual Welsh people.

Its obvious that some people in the world put their own imagined rights and feelings before the rest...hence their need to talk in a language that deliberately isolates other work colleagues when English is the language  used and understood by everyone...even in Wales.

Then i suggest you go to specsavers then


As its gone from babble about exclusions, to now being understood which incorporates accents

So now you even further move the goal posts by going on about the rest of the world

PMSL

Again at no point has the points by myself and victor been about work discussions which we have stated should be in English.

This is about personal conversations which you have no requirement to understand unless you are a right nosy parker

Has this sunk in yet, because as seen you and rags constantly move the goal posts?

Its you and others with the pathetic feelings here because you want to invade private conversations and force people to include you due to your insecurities

Funny you should say that Thor.
I went to Specsavers in Wales quite recently...they greeted me in English, spoke to me in English, spoke to their colleagues in English, and the written info they gave me was primarily written in English.
Obviously the staff at Spec savers are more aware of customer satisfaction than a minority of workers at Sports Direct.

Again who cares Syl

So they basically pandered to your ignorance of Welsh by you not even greeting them in Welsh.

i agree that they were very pleasant. So why did you not greet them back in welsh?

I will provide you with the answer

Ignorance

Thorin, yw'r idiot olaf. Mae hyn i gyd gan rywun sy'n cael ei glymwyr mewn twist os bydd rhywun yn sôn 'tu ôl iddo' ar y fan hon neu fforymau eraill. Dywedwch wrthych beth, yn hytrach na siarad am ei anhygoel yn y Gymraeg fel bod yn rhaid iddo ddefnyddio cyfieithu Google, beth am ei ddweud yn Saesneg. Twat argraffiadol pan fydd y lleuad yn y cyfnod llawn. Yn cael ei greigiau i ffwrdd trwy fod yn anweledig ac yn gyson yn gwneud ei hun yn edrych fel y clown fforwm.

Yn gallu ffwlio rhai o'r bobl rywfaint o'r amser, ond mae'r rhan fwyaf o'r merched sydd ar gael yma yn ei weld am yr hyn sydd ganddo - buffwn malas gyda graddau esgusodol sy'n gweithio ar "linell brys y GIG" yr ychydig oriau nad ydyn nhw yma yn gweithredu fel asyn. (Google yw ei gyfaill gorau ac mae'n ei alluogi i sillafu terminoleg feddygol yn gywir wrth ymchwilio i'w ddadleuon yma, dydw i ddim yn gwybod).

Nawr, Thorin, rhowch hyn yn gyfieithydd Google a gweld sut y cewch chi ddarllen yn gywir am yr hyn a ddywedir. Cymerwch eich amser.

Dewch ymlaen, dwi'n aros ...

I translated this on this page, so easy.

Mae Thorin yn bwriadu darganfod cyfieithydd sy'n dangos yr hyn rwyf wedi'i ysgrifennu'n gywir yn Saesneg

Ni ddylech gael unrhyw broblem yn dadlau yn Gymraeg yna, a ddylech chi? Yn y dyfodol, byddaf yn siarad â chi yn Gymraeg yn unig gan ei weld gan nad yw'n trafferthu chi.

If you right click on your mouse and are using google chrome, it automatically translates

So easy..for me to show up a simpleton..

You should not have any problem arguing in Welsh then, should you? In the future, I will speak to you in Welsh only by seeing it as it does not bother you.


Cool

Dim ond eich bod chi wedi dangos yr hyn yr ydych chi. Ni allwch hyd yn oed fod yn boenus i ysgrifennu yn yr iaith rydych chi'n meddwl ei fod yn iawn i'w ddefnyddio o flaen y rhai nad ydynt yn ei ddeall.

I just love how this has you so wound up Hoaratio and the fact you cannot speak fluent Welsh either and that is very apparent you are using a free translation from English ha ha

Dewch ymlaen! Mae gen i 20 munud cyn i mi fynd i'r gwaith. Dim llinell gymorth GIG i'w ateb heddiw? Ydych chi ar y gweill yma 24/7 yn dadlau y bydd pobl yn teithio gyda phobl pan fyddwch i fod i weithio'n llawn amser.

About as Maltese as your pretendy degrees and NHS job. A bit of advice. You can't afford a hair transplant and you look fine, so don't worry. Most women aren't bothered if a man is receding.

Oops... my bad. Ynglŷn â'r Malta fel eich graddau esgusodol a'ch swydd GIG. Ychydig o gyngor. Ni allwch fforddio trawsblaniad gwallt ac rydych chi'n edrych yn iawn, felly peidiwch â phoeni. Nid yw'r rhan fwyaf o fenywod yn poeni os yw dyn yn mynd yn ôl.

So you do not think I am Maltese on my father side 

Why would I want a hair transplant?

No, I didn't. The translator got it wrong, which proves my point. That it's pure idiocy thinking you can communicate efficiently using one.

Now, I'm off to work. Some of us have to.

If there were a group of people on here who only conversed with each other in another language, totally excluding others on this site, and on threads, what would you do?  

Exactly - it would be awful, even if they were talking to each other. It would be like they were in a world of their own and were ignoring everyone else.
