I was working in Treorchy a few years ago, and I had to queue up in the Post Office with a parcel. It was Giro Day, so there was quite a large line ahead of me and we all shuffled forward every few minutes.
There were two of those Valleys women in front of me, the ones with gruff voices and moustaches. They were talking about cars, and one said ::
" Well, Edy, we are going to have the change the car soon, coz ours is awfully old and rusty it is"
"What kind of car do you fancy then?" her friend said.
"Well, a red one would nice next time" she replied.
"No, don't be daft !" her friend said laughed "What make of car?"
"We quite fancies one of the Renault Megans" say Edy..
At this point I thought I might interject, and said that actually, its pronounced Megane, not Megan. It went very quite in the queue and I could tell that everybody was looking at me. Edy then turned to me and said,
"Well, I'll have you know its bl**dy Megan in Troerchy young man ! "
Never again !
