There is also that wonderful fast moving English Institution known as Cricket.

CRICKET: As explained to a foreigner..
.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

That looks like me on the front row sat in the centre, curly blonde hair and a frown.

Does anyone remember the Welsh School on Conway Road?

It was just down from the Red Garages and used to look like a prefab. The kids who went there were taught everything in Welsh. People to find it strange when I tell them (to my great shame!) I had to learn Welsh as a foreign language.  :-[
In John Bright's there were 3 levels of Welsh classes: 1. For fluent Welsh speakers; 2. For Welsh speakers who were not necessarily fluent and 3. Us lot, learning it as a foreign language! And let's face it, if you couldn't speak Welsh, you'd never get a teaching job this side of Chester!
I wouldn't have minded so much really, but my Mother DID speak Welsh but wouldn't do so at home because she had married a Saes!!  :'(
Does anyone have a pic of the old Welsh School by any chance?
